A private access beach at the heart of an ever-evolving landscape, Rancho Dos Pueblos is 219 acres shaped by history, vision, and the rhythm of the Pacific. Once home to Chumash villages, later a storied cattle ranch, a haven for champion racehorses, a thriving agricultural gem, and an institute of cultural enrichment, this land has long been a place of possibility.
Generations of stewards have found their own way to embrace its abundance — whether through oceanfront retreats, working farms, historic restorations, commercial ventures, or the quiet luxury of family legacy. Now, it’s your turn. Stand on the shore, let the waves mark time, and imagine the next chapter in a place where the past and future meet.
Rancho Dos Pueblos is a place like no other.
Rancho Dos Pueblos is more than land; it is a covenant with nature. For the visionary buyer, this is an extraordinary opportunity to safeguard one of Southern California’s last untouched coastal landscapes. Tidal estuaries teem with life, native grasslands sway in the ocean breeze, and a thriving marine ecosystem flourishes just beyond the shore. Here, the land itself tells a story—one of resilience, restoration, and reverence.
Beyond preservation, Rancho Dos Pueblos has the potential to serve as a beacon of education and sustainability. Envisioned as a living classroom, the nonprofit Dos Pueblos Institute aims to reconnect people with the land through environmental education, regenerative farming, and hands-on restoration projects. Initiatives include outdoor education programs for youth, regenerative agriculture practices, and the restoration of native grasslands. Whether through partnerships with land trusts, the creation of a private reserve, or a research hub dedicated to ocean and watershed health, this is a rare chance to shape a lasting legacy — one that ensures this property remains a source of inspiration, learning, and conservation for generations to come.
A place where history, nature, and family intertwine, this property is a rare jewel ready to be refreshed and reimagined. At its heart stands a romantic Mediterranean-style mansion—a 5-bedroom, 6.5-bathroom retreat with a pool, where an ancient Morton Bay fig aisle leads the eye toward the Pacific.
Complementing the main residence, a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom ranch house is a classic countryside escape, as well as a successful income producing vacation rental.
Imagine summers that unfold in harmony with the land — mornings spent horseback riding through sunlit meadows, afternoons exploring tidepools or gathering fresh fruit from the orchard, and evenings filled with farm-to-table meals under starlit skies. Here, life slows to the cadence of the waves, traditions take root, and generations come together in a way only possible on a property of this scale and significance.
Where the land meets the sea, opportunity thrives. With direct ocean access, fertile pastures, and established infrastructure, this extraordinary estate is a place for dreamers — whether as a world-class hospitality retreat, a thriving farm-to-market business, or a pioneering aquaculture venture.
Established in 1989, The Cultured Abalone Farm sustainably raises native red abalone from hatchery to market, exemplifying the ranch’s forward-thinking stewardship of the land and sea.
Once home to a successful dairy farm, the property is also ideal for regenerative agriculture. Whether creating a culinary destination, expanding agricultural operations, or launching an innovative venture, this is a place where history and progress work in harmony to shape the future.
Rancho Dos Pueblos is a land of abundance, producing some of California’s finest harvests. A revitalization of its 30 acres of avocado orchards and 25 acres of cherimoya trees, alongside sustainable farming, could create an unparalleled agrotourism experience.
At Rancho Dos Pueblos, the land itself beckons. Paddle out at dawn as the morning mist rises off the Pacific. Follow rugged trails beneath centuries-old oaks or run along windswept coastal ridges with panoramic ocean views. With opportunities for backcountry camping and a potential glamping retreat, the ranch offers a rare chance to immerse in nature without sacrificing comfort.
Whether seeking solitude or open-air adventure, this is a landscape meant to be explored — untamed, breathtaking, and waiting to be experienced.
Windswept bluffs, rolling golden hills, and a private beachfront — Rancho Dos Pueblos is the embodiment of romance. An intimate ceremony beneath ancient oaks, a grand affair set against the endless horizon of the Pacific — every celebration here is framed by breathtaking natural beauty. With its historic architecture and unspoiled landscape, this estate is poised to become one of California’s most sought-after wedding venues, where every event unfolds with timeless elegance.
To own Rancho Dos Pueblos is to inherit a story — one written by the tides, the trees, and the generations who have walked this land before.
