Notes from the host
Olive Ranch House
NEW LISTING!
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Located in the vine-covered rolling hills, north of downtown Paso heading toward Lake Nacimiento, this modern, yet rustic, ranch style home sitting center-stage on 14-acres of Olives groves is just minutes to some of Paso most highly regarded wineries and walkable to Chronic Cellars and Vines on the Marycrest. Take a ride into town for some fine dining, cruise up to Lake Nacimiento for a cruise on a pontoon boat, or go wine-tasting along Adelaida Road to Alta Colina, McPrice Myers, DAOU and Adelaida. All fantastic wineries with award-winning wines. Also included in your stay is a Level 2 EV Charger!
This spacious ranch style home boasts 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a sunken living room and great outdoor spaces for BBQing, dining al fresco, and enjoying the hot tub under the stars. It's newly updated and furnished with elegant and modern touches. Sitting among other large ranchettes, this very private ranch is the perfect spot for a family reunion, 3-4-couples weekend away, or a girl’s wine and spa-themed getaway. And we’re pet-friendly. So you can bring Fido too!

LIVING & ENTERTAINING (Exterior)
Off the dining area, through the sliding glass doors, the backyard and multiple entertainment areas await! This is the hang place! There is a comfy wicker sofa and 2 chairs surrounding the center coffee table just outside the dining room. A trellis is covered with table grapes and yours for the picking. The BBQ is nearby to the side and has a huge griddle area…perfect for burgers and steaks. There’s a second seating area outside the living room slider with wicker sofa and 2 chairs surrounding another coffee table. Both areas are shaded under the cover of the house overhangs and additional shades.
A little further out in the yard is lounge seating area with 2 sofas and 2 ottomans under the cover of a wire-framed canopy. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy dining al fresco or just sipping your favorite Paso wines in the cool air of the night. There is also a firepit that can keep you warm should the nights get too cool.
Lastly, there is a large hot tub that seats up to 7. Sit, sip and soak under the star-filled skies. Yeah, that’s what relaxing is all about.
You can also play a little corn hole, walk among the Olive grove, and don’t forget to say hello to our friendly bovine neighbors.
