The story
Set on approximately 57 acres in the coastal community of Los Osos, Los Osos Valley Equine Farm offers a rare combination of expansive acreage, established equestrian facilities, and proximity to the Pacific Ocean. Mild coastal temperatures and cooling ocean breezes create an inviting setting for ranch life, with open pastures, hillside riding trails, and views of the Pacific Ocean and Morro Bay. Offered for the first time, the ranch was envisioned and built by its original owners and has served generations of local riders. Los Osos’ temperate climate encourages outdoor enjoyment throughout the year, while a large covered arena adds flexibility for riding and training through changing weather. Acreage of this scale, with established horse facilities and ocean views, is uncommon in a coastal community. Nearby Montaña de Oro State Park offers scenic trails and horseback riding opportunities, while San Luis Obispo and Highway 1 keep everyday conveniences within easy reach. The property has a long history of commercial boarding, dressage, training, and riding instruction. Shadow Hills Riding School traces its operation at the farm to 1983. A large covered arena, nine fenced riding pastures, and facilities described as accommodating approximately 40 horses provide an established setting for a future owner or operator. Existing approvals and authorized horse capacity are subject to buyer verification. The acreage extends into the adjoining hillside, with horseback riding trails overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Morro Bay. A seasonal creek, open pastures, and varied terrain provide room to enjoy the property beyond the arena, combining the space of a working ranch with the scenery of the Central Coast. A large main home and ranch quarters complement the equestrian facilities. Two wells tested at 56 GPM and 12 GPM provide valuable ranch infrastructure and important water capacity for the property. Multiple large solar systems also serve the home and equestrian facilities, supporting daily operations throughout the property. A separate private pasture offers potential for a second home, subject to County approval. For an owner-trainer, an equestrian family, or a successor operator, this is an opportunity to build on an established ranch near the Pacific, with coastal acreage, extensive ranch facilities, and decades of equestrian history.
