Discover The Santa Lucia Preserve – Where History, Conservation, and Luxury Living Converge in Carmel, California

Tucked into the storied hills just minutes from Carmel-by-the-Sea, The Santa Lucia Preserve is a private, gated community unlike any other in California. Set on a former Mexican land grant with deep ranching roots, The Preserve honors its historical legacy through thoughtful stewardship of the land and a philosophy of living in harmony with nature.
 
Spanning 20,000 breathtaking acres of oak-studded hillsides, ancient redwood groves, and wildflower meadows, The Preserve is home to just 300 homesites, offering a rare opportunity to own property in one of the most carefully protected landscapes on the West Coast. Eighteen thousand acres are permanently safeguarded by the Santa Lucia Conservancy, a groundbreaking land trust dedicated to ecological integrity and long-term sustainability.
 
This low-density community combines natural beauty with refined amenities. Residents enjoy access to an exclusive Tom Fazio-designed golf course, the historic Hacienda—a 1920s Spanish-style retreat turned vibrant social hub—plus an equestrian center, fitness and swim facilities, and over 100 miles of private trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. Membership is required, reinforcing a strong sense of community, shared values, and privacy.
 
Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat, a multigenerational estate, or a vibrant lifestyle immersed in nature, The Santa Lucia Preserve offers a rare blend of legacy, luxury, and land stewardship.
