TIMELESS CALIFORNIA RANCH LIVING

With 90% of the 20,000-acre property preserved in perpetuity, residents of The Santa Lucia Preserve enjoy a one-of-a-kind outdoor experience. Owners and their design teams have expressed their individuality in a remarkable variety of styles that all inherently share the theme of blurring the lines between interior and exterior living, which explains why many homes at The Preserve feel like they've grown out of the land. 

Whether owners reside at The Preserve full-time or part-time, the Resident Services Team makes property maintenance and management effortless, enjoyable, and worry-free.

A CHAMPIONSHIP GOLF COURSE

The 365-acre Tom Fazio designed golf course is framed by the Santa Lucia mountains and meanders through towering oaks and rolling savannas, around wetlands, and across seasonal streams, blending seamlessly into its stunning surroundings. Those who know the game consider The Preserve one of the best and most scenic courses in the region, just nine miles from Pebble Beach

THE EQUESTRIAN LIFE

Full-service boarding, riding experiences, and dynamic events keep the heritage of horsemanship alive. 

Members and their horses enjoy access to well-appointed boarding barns, spacious pastures, multiple arenas, regularly maintained trails that stretch across nearly 100 miles of diverse terrain, and round-the-clock care from our on-site team. What’s more, you don’t have to own a horse to ride, as the club maintains its own string of
trail horses. 

Open to all disciplines and skill levels, The Preserve honors the timeless tradition of riding while offering modern amenities for today’s equine enthusiast.
