Description
The Preserve has undergone many transformations in its rich and colorful history. For centuries, Rumsen Indians called this land their home. Then as part of Old California in the 1800s, these 20,000 acres were given as Mexican land grants and established as two separate ranches. Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, this land was owned by a Gatsby-style character who entertained the rich and famous on his Jazz-age equestrian estate. After reverting back to a privately held ranch for several decades, the Santa Lucia Preserve was established in the 1990s.
