[1] Rana Creek Ranch spans 14,100 acres along Carmel Valley Road, about 20 miles from Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.

The property includes varied landscapes, such as oak-filled valleys, native grasslands, flower-covered ridgelines, rolling hills, lush forests, and multiple water sources, including vernal ponds created by fault lines over millennia.

The property also serves as a crucial wildlife corridor, connecting the Salinas Valley to the Los Padres National Forest.

Initial management will involve environmental assessments and collaboration with the Esselen Tribe to document the property's biodiversity, which will guide long-term stewardship and access decisions.
