About this property

Dragonfly Ranch-Stunning Ocean View 320 Acre Ranch

  • Welcome to The Dragonfly Ranch

    Imagine waking to a vision of tranquil beauty... Stepping out onto a vast 3,000 square foot deck as your eyes take in the luxuriant view of horses grazing, wild flowers blooming, endless sky and an ocean view with not another house to be seen. Just you and the natural world nestled in the rolling hills of the central coast..

    The Dragonfly Ranch was originally a portion of a historical 6,000 acre Spanish ranch named Asuncion (or to rise up), the Asuncion took it's name because of it's high elevation (1800 feet). The view is very similar to the Hearst Castle's as it is the same elevation, just more rolling mountains.
    This property is so unique that it is truly something one has to experience to believe just how magical it is.

The house has a magnificent setting in the foothills. The stars and wildlife were incredible. We saw turkeys, deer, birds including a great horned owl. The house has a western charm with numerous western antiques and paintings. We only had two issues - we couldn’t get the lock box to work but it turned out that the house wasn’t locked and we had very limited water flow and pressure in the bathroom sinks.

Beautiful house and setting

Beautiful House full or character. We had a very relaxing time with wonderful views and hot tub over looking the hills and ocean. Our three girls loved feeding and petting the horses and the cat.

If you want to experience the definition of quiet…

Just me and a friend went to get away. This house is down a very remote road four miles from an entry gate. Only two other houses in the area but you cannot even see them from the deck. Everything everyone says in reviews is right on, the only thing that confused us was the hiking trail. There’s a sign a bit down the road that says hiking trail and when you start on it, you get about 40 feet and someone has put wire across it with a sign that says no trespassing no hiking, so that was confusing. I don’t know why the hiking trail sign is still there then. We did want to try to hike down to the pond that you can see from the deck, but all access looked a little too steep for us. We did spend time on the deck which was thoroughly enjoyable, and the silence is deafening. In this plugged in age, it was such a relief to not hear a thing. Feeding the horses every morning was great and they are down to one cat and he’s super friendly. The house does have everything except Kleenex, so bring your own Kleenex. I wish the doors had screens on them because the air quality is so wonderful. I wanted all the doors open, but there are no screens and bugs would get in and the cat would get in. A note to vegetarian‘s, this house is decorated as a ranch, so there’s things that might upset you like an animal hide on the master bathroom floor, horns on the wall, etc. also, the closet in the master is not available for use. You must use the closet in the hallway. And no house keys, country living!

Dragonfly Ranch was magical!! Part ranch, part nature reserve, and part museum with all the amazing antiques! We were blown away by the warm decor, breathtaking views, and total seclusion without a house or car in sight. This place is special, truly in a league of its own. We can’t wait to come back!

Unforgettable stay

Gazing at the beauty of the surroundings was the highlight. The views from the ranch were outstanding and it was fun feeding the two horses. The property owner was available with a simple phone call and very cordial. Her house was well stocked and clean. She made us feel like family!

Third trip

This was our third stay at the ranch. We had an amazing stay and saw so many hawks, and a golden eagle flew right in front of our car with a poor rabbit in his talons!! Saw many deer and a couple coyotes. Always love the kitty and the horses at the ranch! We just love the beauty and environment and we will definitely be back!!

Beautiful Getaway

We couldn't ask for a more perfect getaway than this gem nestled amongst the hills. The home is beautiful and fully stocked with awesome amenities (organic shampoo, conditioner, body wash, kitchen supplies). Kids had an awesome time playing on the deck, going on hikes, and feeding the horses. Parents were nice and relaxed on the huge deck overlooking the incredible view. We did not want to leave. 5 stars!

Dragonfly Ranch - Memorable Experience!

We have stayed at multiple properties in the Santa Ynez and Paso Robles area, and the Dragonfly Ranch has definitely been the most memorable in many special ways. The property is very well furnished, comfortable and sits at a high peak with incredible views - green rolling hills, tree lined creek, and even ocean. It's far away enough to disconnect from the city, but a short drive to the many wineries and local towns. We truly enjoyed feeding the horses and the friendly cats and listening to the wildlife all around us. Kristine is a great hostess and was very communicative and a pleasure to speak with. We highly recommend the property for an unforgettable experience!

A soul rejuvenator

The property is nicely perched on a hill in a vast ranch surronded by rolling hills and a grand view of the ocean to beat. The property has two lovely horses in the attached barn and we had a blast feeding and petting them. The place boasts of a massive deck and simply lounging out was a peaceful expereince. The ranch house itself is very tastefully decorated and comfortable. The host was kind and very willing to be of assistance. Overall loved the solitude and this property sure has some healing qualities.

Can't wait to go back!

I cant say enough about this special slice of paradise. It felt like home. The view was spectacular. The hot tub worked out great although it takes a long time for it to heat up....like 12 hours. The kitchen worked out great with 4 of us working in it. The horses were my "job" for the weekend. They got lots of treats. The kitty was the life of the party. He fit right in. It's a good 20 minute drive up the hill from Atascadero and not a neighbor in sight. Just make sure you have your provision because your not running back to the store. The stars ....I haven't seen a sky that beautiful in years. Walk outside and look up about 3 in the morning...jaw dropping. The property needs some tlc... but I overlook all of it because it's perfect the way it is.

Looking for serenity? This is your place!!

We couldn't have had a more perfectly wonderful get-away ... It was just what we were looking for (and then some :)! The property and the area are just breathtaking; especially after the excessive rainfall this past season brought. Looking out from the deck at the rolling green hills, and listening to nothing but the sounds of nature, it was easy to feel that we were the only living souls on the planet; the serenity was bliss. We did a little hiking around the ranch, had fun feeding the horses and the resident cat, cooked a couple of great meals, enjoyed the gorgeous sunsets and stargazing in our sleeping bags on the deck lounge chairs (my favorite:). The host, Kristine, was fantastic! Good communication made check in a breeze, and was available and responded promptly when I messaged with a question....very pleasant and friendly person. The house was welcoming with sparkling windows, beds comfortable with quality linens, the decor was fun and interesting, and the kitchen had everything you could possibly need. Thanks for sharing your wonderful place! It was perfect.

The Dragonfly Ranch is truly an exceptional destination where we left the stresses and anxieties of work and city life behind and immersed ourselves in a beautiful, tranquil and secluded setting with stunning views of the surrounding mountains, valleys and the Pacific Ocean on the horizon. Clouds gently rolled in and over the mountaintops bringing cooler temperatures several nights during our weeklong stay, before then rolling back out within an hour or two at most after sunrise, revealing an ever-changing landscape, a feast for the eyes and an elixer for the soul. The drive from the foothills thru the mountains to Dragonfly Ranch was fun, especially after passing through the gated entry 4 miles from the house. We saw deer, a lone coyote, and a gaggle of turkeys was unmoved and unconcerned one morning, by our presence just a few feet away. The drive was an integral part of an experience that my wife and I will always treasure, with wineries, restaurants and shopping close by in Atascadero, Templeton and Paso Robles; Morro Bay, Cayucos, Cambria and portions of the Pacific Coast Highway only 30-60 minutes away; and Monterrey and Carmel by the Sea beckoning just 2 hours north.The house was warm and cozy with all the comforts of home, and Kristine was kind, generous, accommodating and a model Host in every way! We could not have asked for a more pleasant and relaxing time, and could not have possibly enjoyed our stay at Dragonfly Ranch any more!

Truly amazing spot

Vast views, private, quiet, spectacular sky and all you could ask for in Old California land grant experience, on a hill, surrounded by fields and trees with a distant view of the fog above the sea, with every modern touch; and a couple obliging horses for the kids with you - or in you - to feed.

Magical ranch for stargazing

We loved this ranch! Super private, nobody around. Two very friendly horses. Very comfortable bedrooms. Excellent kitchen. Best of all, a huge deck overlooks the rolling hills and the ocean in the distance. At night the stars come out and we can see the milky way clearly too. We will definitely return!
