Escape to the quiet beauty of Running Deer, where wide-open space, wildlife, and off-grid living come together just about 40 minutes from downtown Paso Robles. Cambria's beaches and Hearst Castle are also within reach, giving you a peaceful country retreat with access to some of the Central Coast's most loved destinations. This level parcel offers plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors, along with the potential to build a future custom home, subject to county approval and buyer verification. Deer, wild turkeys, eagles, and wild boar are commonly seen throughout the area, adding to the true country-living experience. The property includes converted shipping containers offering approximately 320 square feet of interior living space with two bedrooms, one bathroom, a kitchen, and living area. An additional approximately 320-square-foot covered porch creates the perfect spot to relax, enjoy your morning coffee, and take in the peaceful surroundings. Designed for off-grid living, the property includes a well last tested at 33 gallons per minute, a 2,700-gallon water storage tank, septic system, solar power, and a newer backup battery. The current owner states the battery has provided approximately three to four days of power without sun. Running Deer residents also have access to Lake Nacimiento community amenities, including a private boat launch and park with restrooms. Optional annual fees may apply for access keys and upkeep. A separate site approximately three miles away may offer the opportunity to build a boat ramp, with the owner's interest in that site available to transfer with the sale. No ramp currently exists; buyers should verify transfer rights and building requirements. Whether you're looking for a weekend escape, an off-grid retreat, or land with the possibility of building your future dream home, this property offers a rare opportunity to unplug, spread out, and enjoy a quieter way of life.
