Welcome to Cougar Ridge
Perched high on a hilltop in historic Paso Robles, this private, 10 acre property is surrounded by moss covered oaks and stunning, endless wine country views. Cougar Ridge is a 2300 sq ft, single level, 3 bedroom 2 bath Spanish style home that offers complete peace and privacy away from the hustle bustle of daily life. The recently renovated outdoor oasis is where you will spend most of your time splashing in the new pool, taking long soaks in the spa, challenging loved ones to a game of bocce ball or corn hole, sipping cocktails watching the vibrant sunset, roasting marshmallows at the fire pit while gazing at the star filled night sky. More outdoor fun abounds for the kids with a tire swing and basketball hoop. There is something for everyone at Cougar Ridge!
If you are an early riser, bring your first cup of coffee outdoors and be greeted by the awe inspiring sunrise over the rolling hills to the East. Soak in the peaceful quiet of the morning on the covered veranda while planning your day. Jump start your day with a walk/run on the 3 mile ridge top while enjoying the expansive 360 degree views. Stationed among some of the best wine trails, the prime location on top of High Ridge Road is a wine lovers dream. Enjoy a walk to Still Water Winery at the end of the country road or cross the sandy creek bed to Cass Winery which you can see from the house and just a short car ride away. Bring your bikes or explore by car the many nearby wineries such as Rava, Cab House, Hansen, Hidden Oak, Fableist and Bella Luna. Don’t miss a stop at the quaint Mariarosa farm stand at the bottom of the hill and down Creston for fresh produce. If you are looking to discover downtown Paso Robles, take the short 7 mile drive to the historic town square which has a central park and playground, a perfect place to play and picnic. Main Street has a full calendar of festivities throughout the year. On summer afternoons enjoy a concert in the park. The town square is surrounded by quaint cafes, award winning restaurants, wine tasting rooms and boutique shopping. Take in a movie at the local theater and end your time at LOL Yogurt or a stop in for night cap at Tetto Rooftop Bar. Don’t forget to save time to peruse the Paso Robles General Store.
