With a population of approximately 1,500,
San Miguel is a small town in Central California’s Wine Country,
adjacent to Highway 101. The jewel of the town is the famous
Mission San Miguel Arcangel founded by Franciscan Father Fermin
Lasuen in 1797. The “town” of San Miguel, likely began with the
Rios-Caldeonia Adobe, which was constructed in 1835. By 1871, a
stagecoach ran daily from San Miguel to San Luis Obispo, and in
1886, Southern Pacific Railroad reached San Miguel. Shortly
thereafter, the town was leveled by a disastrous fire, and the new
town was rebuilt north of the Mission.
San Miguel is positioned 10-miles north of the mid-point
between Los Angeles and San Francisco. The Ranch is a short 15
minute drive from the Paso Robles Municipal Airport which
offers Fuel & Line Services, Aircraft Maintenance, Air
Charter, Hot Air Balloons, Restaurant and Ground
Transportation. The airport also has a Jet Center and private
hangars available for general aviation. Just 42 miles from the
Ranch is San Luis Obispo County’s Regional Airport, with
commercial service daily to Los Angeles and San Francisco
connecting to International flights. The San Luis Obispo
Airport offers convenient access to and from the Central
Coast. Residents and visitors have the choice of two
commercial airlines with flights to Los Angeles, Phoenix, and
San Francisco. The airport is also home to full service
general aviation and corporate facilities.
