A private 95-acre estate in the golden hills above River Road — fifteen minutes from downtown Salinas, a world away from everything else. We host one group at a time. Never two.
When you book the ranch, you book all of it — every building, every trail, every acre of oak and open grass. There are no other guests, no shared spaces, no one to meet at the gate but your own people. Just the hills, the quiet, and whoever you brought with you.

This is a working ranch, not a resort. The hills do what they've always done — turn green in February, gold in June. What's changed is who gets to watch: you, your people, and no one else. Four spaces, one property, a single set of keys.
The main residence — full kitchen, long-table dining, wide porches facing the evening light. Where the day begins and ends.
Sleeps · dines · gathers
Chairs, benches and hay bales around an open fire, ringed by oaks. Where the evening lands after dinner and stays there.
Evenings · outdoors
A stand of coast live oaks older than the county itself. Long dinners, morning sessions, vows, and everything in between.
Outdoor venue
Open ground along the seasonal creek — space for tents, games, stargazing, or nothing at all. The quietest acre on the property.
Open ground
Your team, the whole ranch, and nothing on the calendar but the work that matters. No hotel ballroom, no shared lobby, no other company's lanyards at the bar. Fly into Monterey, be under the oaks in forty minutes.
Five nights to a full month, with the ranch entirely to yourself. Room for a family gathering that doesn't feel rushed, a sabbatical with real quiet, or a production crew that needs a base camp with a view.
Nothing staged, nothing borrowed — ridge road to creek bed on a clear April morning.
Three short pans, shot on an April morning from the top of the property, the back ridge, and the lower meadow. No music, no edit — just what it sounds like up there.
The ranch sits in the hills off River Road, in the Santa Lucia Highlands wine country. It feels remote because it is — but the drive back to civilization is shorter than most commutes.
Tell us your dates, your group, and the occasion. We will let you know if it's available. Stays begin at five nights.
