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.

Life on on the Central Coast?
Los Osos, California, is the Central Coast’s understated gem—a rugged, soulful spot where you can feel the pulse of the Pacific without the crowds. Home to about 14,000 people, this unincorporated community hugs the edge of Morro Bay, offering a front-row seat to the Central Coast’s wild beauty. The Central Coast itself stretches from Santa Barbara to Monterey, a stretch of California where dramatic cliffs, rolling vineyards, and laid-back towns create a vibe that’s equal parts adventure and chill. Los Osos sits right in the heart of San Luis Obispo County, balancing raw nature with easy access to some of the region’s best towns.
In Los Osos, Montana de Oro State Park’s 8,000 acres are practically an extension of your backyard. Hike the Bluff Trail for oceanfront views that’ll stop you in your tracks, summit Valencia Peak for 360-degree vistas, or surf the breaks at Hazard’s. Kayakers and tidepoolers flock to Spooner’s Cove, while mountain bikers tear through rugged trails. Just steps from many homes, a trail leads to Sandspit Beach, and the nearby Morro Bay Estuary teems with herons, egrets, and otters—a birdwatcher’s paradise. Winter brings magic to the Monarch Butterfly Preserve in Monarch Grove, where thousands of monarchs blanket eucalyptus groves in a quiet, breathtaking spectacle.
Los Osos keeps it real with local haunts like Nardonne’s Pizzeria or the Baywood Ale House, where you’re more likely to swap stories with a regular than fight for a table. The Los Osos/Baywood Farmers Market delivers fresh produce and crafts weekly, and Sea Pines Golf Resort nearby hosts the 9-hole executive course plus lively events like Barefoot Concerts on the Green—think live bands and local brews every Saturday from April to July.
The Central Coast’s charm lies in its diversity, and Los Osos is perfectly positioned to explore it. Just 15 minutes away, San Luis Obispo buzzes with Cal Poly’s energy, farm-to-table restaurants like Novo, and a Thursday night farmers’ market that’s more block party than errands. Head 30 minutes north to Paso Robles, where over 200 wineries—think Halter Ranch or Daou—pair bold reds with rolling hill views. To the west, Morro Bay’s iconic rock and bustling waterfront offer fresh seafood and kayak rentals, while Cambria, 25 minutes up the coast, brings pine-covered hills, art galleries, and the historic Nitt Witt Ridge. Southward, Pismo Beach (25 minutes) serves up classic beach-town vibes with dune buggy rides and clam chowder. Each town adds its own flavor, but Los Osos holds its own as the quiet basecamp for it all—where nature’s the star, the community’s tight, and life feels like a well-earned exhale.
