Discover a Rare Private Community in Carmel, California

The Santa Lucia Preserve is timeless California—where historic beauty meets modern luxury— a convenient drive from the San Francisco Bay Area and minutes from the Monterey Jet Center.

Nestled into the sun-drenched foothills above Carmel-by-the-Sea, The Preserve offers a rare convergence of wildlands and refined living.

Within its vast 20,000 acres – 90% of which will remain permanently undeveloped – fewer than 300 homesites have been thoughtfully integrated into the landscape. Each owner becomes a steward of this extraordinary environment, part of a community deeply committed to conservation and privacy.

Club members enjoy a wide array of world-class amenities, beginning with a nationally ranked Tom Fazio golf course and extending to a multi-discipline equestrian center, three dining venues, and a robust year-round calendar of social events.

Recreational offerings include swimming pools (including a two-story water slide), paddle sports on 18-acre Moore’s Lake, glamping tents, and a Sports Center with tennis, pickleball, personal training, and group fitness.

Nearly 100 miles of private trails wind through oak forests, redwoods, and coastal meadows – ideal for hiking, horseback riding, and biking.

Real estate options are just as varied. Custom-designed homes showcase unique and often award-winning architecture which exceed international standards for sustainable design, with on-site Resident Services ready to cater to a homeowner’s every need.

Buyers looking to build their dream home can choose from a variety of unique natural settings throughout The Preserve, such as redwood groves, oak savannas, and native chaparral carefully conserved for its ecological value, with no two homesites alike.

The Santa Lucia Preserve is a member-owned and governed community, where shared values, outdoor pursuits, and a deep respect for the land bring people together. Set above the coastal fog, yet just minutes from Carmel, Pebble Beach, and the Monterey Peninsula, The Preserve invites you to experience California as few ever will.
