6970 Benton & Canterbury Tails

Upscale pet boarding destination, Canterbury Tails Dog Resort, and a luxurious Queenslander estate both included in the same offering! Situated on over nine oak studded acres with sweeping vistas of the Salinas Valley, rolling hills, and vineyards, this property is conveniently located on the Central Coast. Just 3.5 miles from downtown Paso Robles, this property is a short drive to over 250 wineries, endless recreation opportunities, and SLO County Airport, which provides access to major western hubs. Entering the gated entrance you are greeted by magnificent oaks and a circular driveway with a custom built fountain. The 3,467 square foot residence, with an approximately 2,300 square foot veranda, four bedrooms, and three well appointed baths, is uniquely positioned to enjoy never ending views at sunrise with a cup of coffee, and at sunset with a glass of wine. With a peaceful park like setting and eight 8’ x 15” whimsical English inspired pet suites, the premium pet resort, designed to promote a positive experience for pets and their owners, is a thriving business that has provided an invaluable service to members of the community for over a decade; giving them peace of mind as they travel. Well positioned for growth with an increase in pet ownership and travel, Canterbury Tails is currently running with no vacancies and the potential for over $3,000 in bookings per night. Stepping into the residence, you are surrounded by re-purposed wood flooring throughout the living areas, as well as 8” baseboards and 10’ ceilings throughout the home. The grand and comfortable living room enjoys a tree filled backdrop through three sets of paned glass doors. A 2,500 bottle capacity wine room with walnut cabinetry makes entertaining friends a luxe happening, and the adjacent study with built-in shelving/desk, creates a sophisticated feel. The social hub of the house, the kitchen features birch cabinetry, countertops made of walnut, marble and granite, a Sub Zero fridge, and a Viking range/hood. Whether it’s dinner in the dining room, or brunch on the veranda, the surreal setting makes meals with family a special event. A private retreat, the owner’s suite enjoys a ceiling with vinyl plank detail, a cozy fireplace, 12” crown molding, and a luxurious bath with travertine finishes, a soothing jetted tub, and walk-in closet. The guest wing, including three bedrooms with a central bonus room, and a Jack & Jill bath, also creates the opportunity for vacation rental income.
