Elevated...Set between the redwood forests and the Pacific Ocean, Laguna Ranch is an extraordinary 347±-acre private estate offering exceptional scale, beauty, and privacy along the California coast. Held by the same family for more than three decades, the property spans two legal parcels with multiple residences and internationally recognized gardens. The landscape is remarkably diverse. Redwood-filled ravines, native oak woodland, open meadows, orchards, and Laguna Creek unfold across the ranch. Elevated terraces capture sweeping views of the Pacific. Approximately five miles of private roads and trails connect the residences, gardens, creek corridors, and more remote areas of the property. Only a small portion of the acreage has been developed, preserving the openness and natural beauty of the land. Secluded yet accessible, Laguna Ranch is within convenient reach of Santa Cruz, Silicon Valley, the San Francisco Peninsula, and Monterey. A significant California coastal estate to enjoy for generations.
