Templeton

Wine-country homes, close to home

Harrod Built is a family custom home builder led by brothers Michael and Chris Harrod. In the gated Santa Ysabel Ranch development we built the Modern Ranch, a single-story home with about 4,200 square feet of living space, and the Modern French Country, a single-level 3,500-square-foot home built in 14 months.

Templeton is next door to our office, so we’re close by for site visits, remodels and smaller jobs as well as new homes.

County permits

Templeton is unincorporated, so building permits run through San Luis Obispo County Planning & Building. Some neighborhoods add their own design review on top.

Water and sewer

Inside the community services district, water and sewer come from the district. Rural parcels outside it usually rely on wells and septic, which shape where the house can sit.

Oaks, heat and views

Rural lots here mean oak trees, hot summers and long views. We plan the house, shade and outdoor rooms around all of them.

Fire zones

Parts of the county are mapped fire hazard severity zones, which means ember-resistant construction under Chapter 7A of the California Building Code and defensible space.
