Santa Lucia Preserve

High above the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean and the community of Carmel-by-the-Sea lies the exclusive Santa Lucia Preserve neighbourhood. Exclusive truly is an understatement. The Santa Lucia Preserve amounts to nearly 20, 000 acres in total, with less than 2,000 acres available for development. That's a full 90% of the land area that has been dedicated to the conservation of the natural environment. It's this attitude that permeates all corners of the area, from the design of the Santa Lucia Preserve homes for sale to the uniting philosophy of its residents. Come make a home amid the oaks and redwood groves in homes that perfectly complement the natural surroundings.

 

Santa Lucia Preserve stretches across a serene 20,000 acres of overhanging oaks and tall red wood groves. The developed area encased within 2,000 acres contains just 300 home sites, ensuring that each home exists on an expansive lot with plenty of land for each family to enjoy. The Santa Lucia Preserve real estate embodies a classic, old-California architectural vibe reflecting the historic Spanish, Monterey and ranch-style roots of the region. The design of each home takes a back seat to the natural environment, always remaining subordinate to the exquisite natural landscape.

 

To ensure the character of the exclusive enclave is preserved, each new home design must go through the Santa Lucia Conservancy's Design Review Board. Their team of architects will work with each new resident to finalize a design that meets the home owner's needs while maintaining the classic character of the private neighborhood. All the homes in the area are centered around the two fantastic amenities: the Preserve Golf Club and Ranch Club, offering a world-class Tom Fazio-designed golf course, equestrian facilities and a beautiful 1920s-era Spanish Colonial Hacienda.
