A 20,000 acre private conservation community, golf club, and ranch club
The Preserve is a remarkable conservation community, where roughly 300 families have chosen to permanently protect and collectively manage over 90% of their lands as wild natural habitat. The community is a refuge from modern day life with a state of the art Equestrian Center, a Tom Fazio designed golf course and a unique convergence of a laid back ranch lifestyle coupled with an expansive natural world at your doorstep.

Look to the hills 🌿 Winter’s wet months and cooler temperatures transform our signature golden hills into a lush, vibrant green. Rolling fog sweeps our landscape, complementing the season’s new foliage. We’re loving the change of scenery and look forward to the spring months ahead!

The Santa Lucia Preserve — a private community, golf club and ranch club situated on 20,000 acres of majestic land — is a remarkable conservation community, where 300 families have chosen to permanently protect and collectively manage over 90% of their lands as wild natural habitat.
Though located mere minutes from historic downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, much like Hawaii’s “Island-Time” The Preserve has a cadence all its own, with an easy pace of life and distinct serenity afforded by the vast open stretches of ancient untamed land. Our staff, residents and members dedicate themselves to appreciating and stewarding the natural beauty of this unique geographical, historical and cultural setting.
Within our community are a wide array of lifestyle offerings, annual events and daily activities, including a golf course ranked in the top 100 in the U.S., the 18-acre Moore’s Lake, glamping tents, 100 miles of hiking trails, an expansive, multi-discipline equestrian operation, sports and aquatic center, and more.
Custom-designed homes built by owners feature award-winning architecture in a variety of styles, and are meant to settle seamlessly into the grand landscape. Select custom homes and lots are available for sale at our website.
