Picture this: your morning coffee comes with a side of ocean breeze and monarch butterflies fluttering through your backyard. This isn’t a postcard—it’s 235 Marianela Lane, a 3-bedroom, 2-bath, 2,011 sq. ft. single-level home located in the sought-after neighborhood of Monarch Grove. This is your chance to live where the Central Coast’s raw beauty and laid-back vibe collide.

Inside, the home is light and livable, with high ceilings in the living room and primary bedroom that pull in sunlight. The kitchen has a double oven, bar seating, and a dining area that opens to the back patio through a sliding glass door—perfect for BBQs or stargazing. The living room also opens to the backyard for that indoor-outdoor flow. Tucked to the right, the primary bedroom is complete with backyard access, a fireplace, and dual sinks in the primary bath. On the left, two guest bedrooms and a full bath work for family, friends, or a home office. Oh, and a three-car garage for all your toys—bikes, boards, you name it.

Steps outside your door, a trail takes you straight to Sandspit Beach, where the Pacific’s raw edge waits. Right next door, the Monarch Butterfly Preserve turns winter into a quiet show of thousands of monarchs resting in eucalyptus groves. Across the street, Sea Pines Golf Resort keeps the energy up with its 9-hole executive course and a stacked lineup of events. Think “Barefoot Concerts on the Green” every Saturday from April to July, with live music and local brews, or the Los Osos/Baywood Farmers Market for fresh veggies and handmade goods. The Clubhouse Grill has live tunes year-round!

The 8,000-acre playground, Montana de Oro, is the Central Coast’s crown jewel, with miles of trails winding through wildflower-dotted hills, jagged cliffs, and secluded coves. Hike the Bluff Trail for jaw-dropping ocean views or tackle the Valencia Peak for a 360-degree payoff of coastline and rolling green. Whether you’re surfing at Hazard’s, kayaking along the rocky shore, or chasing sunsets, Montana de Oro is your backyard adventure hub—untamed, unspoiled, and practically at your doorstep.

Beyond that, you’ve got Morro Bay’s kayaking and birdwatching in the estuary, Paso Robles’ wineries for weekend sips, and San Luis Obispo’s shops and restaurants for a quick urban hit. Los Osos nails that sweet spot: small-town heart, big-time nature, and weather that’s basically bragging.

This isn’t just a home—it’s where your life gets an upgrade.
