Paso Robles wine country
What a high-end home in Paso Robles really takes
Most luxury homes around Paso Robles sit on large rural parcels: vineyard land west of town, ranch land to the east, oak-covered hills toward Adelaida and Templeton. The views are the reason to build there, and the site work is where the budget is won or lost. Wells, septic, long driveways, power runs, grading and fire access all have to be planned before the house is priced.
Harrod Built is led by brothers Michael and Chris Harrod, and our office is at 1345 Riverside Ave in Paso Robles. We build new custom homes design-build with our studio, Harrod Drafting & Design, or to the plans of the architect you already have, and we price the work while it is being designed so the scope matches the budget.
Inside the City of Paso Robles, new homes go through the city’s planning and building review. Outside city limits, which covers most estate and vineyard parcels, the project runs through San Luis Obispo County Planning & Building. We confirm which applies to your parcel first.

What shapes a luxury home in Paso Robles
Rural parcels
Wells, septic and long driveways are a real part of the cost on North County land. Read building with a well and septic in the North County.
Clay soils
Much of Paso Robles and Templeton sits on expansive clay, which drives foundation design. See expansive clay soils.
Wine country lots
Vineyard and ranch parcels bring their own planning questions. Our guide to building a home in Paso Robles wine country walks through them.
Wildfire zones
Many hillside parcels are in fire hazard severity zones and must meet the wildfire chapter of the code. Read building in a fire hazard zone.
Budget
Our Paso Robles custom home cost guide explains what moves the number.
Contract type
Fixed price or cost-plus changes how risk and allowances work. See fixed price vs cost-plus.

Is your company based in Paso Robles?
Yes. Our office is at 1345 Riverside Ave in Paso Robles, and the North County is home base for our crews and subcontractors.
Do you build on vineyard and ranch parcels?
Yes. Rural estate lots with wells, septic and long driveways are a large part of our work around Paso Robles, Adelaida, Templeton and Creston.
Can you build from my architect’s plans?
Yes. We price and build from outside plans, and we can review them for cost and buildability before they go to permit.
Will you walk a lot before I buy it?
Yes, at no charge. We look at access, slope, utilities or well and septic, fire zone and the likely permit path.
