A place with a cadence all its own
The sun’s first rays fall upon a century-old Hacienda, a wisp of smoke curling from the chimney. Horses graze. Mist dances dreamily on the lake. Here is time and space for deep breathing. Here is separation, and connection. Clarity and an easy cadence are the order of the day. On 20,000 acres virtually untouched by man, hidden away just 10 minutes from Carmel-by-the-Sea, you may find your place in the world.

Custom Homes & Homesites
At home on The Preserve
The Santa Lucia Preserve is a private community of 20,000 acres, 18,000 of which are protected in perpetuity by a conservation land trust. The remaining 10% of the land is set aside for infrastructure, private club amenities (including golf pursuits, outdoor recreation, and equestrian facilities), and just 297 homesites. Upon these are a growing collection of architecturally significant residences. Few are visible from The Preserve’s roads and trails. All have been carefully sited to take advantage of this extraordinary setting. The residential experience that is The Preserve is surely one of the most special on earth.

The Preserve Golf Club
A Tom Fazio masterpiece
Offer one of the game’s greatest architects a pastoral landscape ringed by mountains – a canvas unencumbered by roads, homes, or distraction – and the result is one of the most serene and beautifully challenging 18 holes on the planet. Every tee a postcard. Every green a reward. Yes, the Peninsula has its marquees, but here, bathed in the warm California sun, is a private experience that lives up to a perennial top 100 ranking. Golf Club memberships are available to both residents and non-residents. National memberships are also offered.

Sostenibilidad
From the beginning, it was believed that the extraordinary value of this rare property was in the beauty, vastness, and richness of its landscape. Placing the land in the care of a group of like-minded owners and structuring the means to protect its vitality and beauty were fundamental in the planning. The Santa Lucia Conservancy is at the heart of this enduring mission. This passionate management of 18,000 of The Preserve’s 20,000 acres guarantees the protection and experience of this natural treasure for future generations.
