Farmland and acreage opportunities outside of Paso Robles development
About 12 miles east of Downtown Paso Robles, Whitley Gardens is a small unincorporated area with plenty of space to roam. Located on the Estrella River, the community lies within the Estrella District, a smaller wine region in the larger Paso Robles AVA, giving residents access to nearby wineries. “This would be a nice area for someone looking for a property with a little bit of land for 4H or farm animals,” says area resident Michael Aanerud, Realtor with Re/Max Parkside Real Estate. Despite its small population and lack of development, Aanerud says he sees Whitley Gardens as an area of opportunity. “The future path of development outside of Paso Robles is working its way east towards Whitley Gardens.”
Whitley Gardens is surrounded by beautiful scenery.

A small number of total homes, with most on acreage
According to Aanerud, Whitley Gardens is mostly made up of manufactured and stick-built homes set on lots that range from three-quarters of an acre to 5 acres. Multi-acre properties usually have accessory dwelling units and large barns. “There’s just so little for sale out there,” Aanerud says. “There’s been only three properties sold in the past year.” When homes here do go on the market, they range from just under $700,000 to $1 million, depending on lot size. “They do have their own water district, which is a nice feature, because properties out there aren’t required to have their own well,” Aanerud says, adding that homes are still on septic and propane. Undeveloped lots here range from $200,000 to $300,000.
