Vina Robles Living in Paso Robles

Nestled within the vineyards of Vina Robles Winery, Gran Cielo de Vina Robles is Paso Robles wine country’s premier gated community of custom homes and homesites. Whether you’re choosing to build the custom home of your dreams from the ground up, or get off to the races with ready-to-build plans the choice is yours. Below we’ve outlined the best benefits of both.

Custom Homes

Beyond personalized amenities and the potential for energy-efficient features,  your home stands out as exceptionally one-of-a-kind. If you’re someone who takes pleasure in life’s little details, the custom home building experience may be one you love. From layout to landscaping and wine cellars to saunas, building a custom home means having the freedom to design your day-to-day lifestyle.
