IT ALL STARTS WITH THE LAND

The Santa Lucia Preserve is classic old-world California, with all the modern amenities of a world-class private community.

Situated just above Carmel-by-the-Sea’s coastal fog, The Preserve is where human and natural communities thoughtfully converge. Within this serene 20,000 acre property, 90% of which will always be carefully preserved and well-maintained, sit less than 300 homesites with each owner committed to permanently protecting these historic lands.

Custom-designed homes showcase award-winning architecture, with some exceeding international standards for sustainable design, while on-site Resident Services cater to a homeowner’s every need.
