Set on 10 scenic, usable acres just outside of Santa Margarita, this storybook country homestead offers a rare blend of charm, functionality, and flexibility. Tucked into a peaceful setting with rolling hill views and open skies, it invites a slower, more intentional pace of living while still within an easy drive to town. Originally designed as a two-bedroom home, the 1,321± sq ft main residence is filled with natural light, with vaulted ceilings and dormer windows brightening the interiors throughout the day. The living room serves as the heart of the home, anchored by a striking wood-burning fireplace with a handcrafted mantle made from a reclaimed beam dating back to an 1853 Pennsylvania barn—an authentic, one-of-a-kind focal point. The open-concept layout flows into the dining area and kitchen, where a breakfast bar, center island with cooktop and prep sink, wine refrigerator, and updated backsplash create a space that is both functional and inviting. A built-in desk area adds everyday convenience. The primary suite offers a private retreat with a walk-in closet and spacious bathroom featuring a walk-in shower, soaking tub, and dual pedestal sinks. With its own separate entrance, the bathroom also serves as a guest bath. Just outside, a covered deck and fenced courtyard with fresh landscaping create a quiet outdoor escape. Outdoor living surrounds the home, including a wraparound deck, enclosed sunroom with large picture windows, and a covered entertaining space with a soaring ceiling and outdoor fireplace—ideal for gatherings or taking in sunset views. Above the detached two-car garage, a treehouse-like studio apartment of approximately 515± sq ft offers excellent versatility. With its own entrances and 3/4 bath, it is well suited for guests, extended family, rental income, or a creative workspace. The garage includes an additional room ideal for an office, gym, or workshop, along with ample storage. The land is fully usable and well suited for a true homestead lifestyle—horses, farm animals, gardens, or simply open space to enjoy. With two wells, water storage, and an ozone water treatment system in place, the property is equipped for country living. Per the seller, there may also be potential to build a second home, adding long-term value. Peaceful, private, and full of character, this Santa Margarita homestead offers a setting that feels like a true escape, yet remains close to everyday conveniences.
