looking down on the bay, the town of Avila
Beach, the golf course, and the unspoiled
Irish Hills.AvilaBeach

and the beach communities of ShellBeach
and PismoBeach.This wonderful home is being offered for sale

preserve between the .4 acre property and the town of Avila
Beach below, protects forever, the most
fabulous view in the County.From
the pier and beach below, this one of a kind, handcrafted home rises above the
oak studded point as a hallmark of Spanish Colonial architecture, true to the
historical tradition of Old Port San Luis.The beautiful natural
landscaping of native plants and indigenous stones, adds to the maintenance
free design and construction of the home, and offers the owner no excuses for

weather pattern at this south facing point above the bay is unquestionably the
most unique and agreeable micro climate in the country.It

Hills to the north.Greater

traditional sautillo pavers, complete with several fountains, and a covered
outside fireplace area, makes enjoying the surroundings comfortable day and
night and in any season.Magnificent

timeless, handcrafted Spanish Colonial tradition has been carried inside the
home as well as outside, and is evident in every detail.Thick
solid alder doors, under extensive arches, pillars, and beams, along with
rustic cabinetry, and ironwork forged on the property, gives the interior a
strong and traditional feeling.The
home offers hand hewn and pegged hickory floors upstairs and artistically
stained and textured concrete floors downstairs, making this interior
impervious to traffic and wear typical of the beach and country
environment.The
home was the first to be built above the town of Avila
nearly five years ago, and yet finishing details and design enhancements are
still being painstakingly added to this day.
