Set behind the guarded gates of the Santa Lucia Preserve, 28 Long Ridge Trail offers an extraordinary opportunity to own nearly 69 acres of pristine, protected California landscape anchored by a premier 6.3-acre estate homesite. This is more than land, it is a generational setting for a custom legacy estate, with approved entitlements for a main residence, guest house, and caretaker's cottage. Rolling hills, mature oaks, and expansive valley and mountain views create a dramatic natural backdrop, while complete privacy and open space surround the property in every direction. Here, seclusion and sophistication coexist. Wildlife, silence, and dark skies define daily life, yet the Preserve's world-class amenities are minutes away. Residents enjoy access to championship golf, tennis, equestrian facilities, fine dining, concierge services, fitness and wellness offerings, and miles of private hiking and riding trails curated across 20,000 acres of conserved land. Every detail of the community is designed to preserve the land while elevating the lifestyle. With seller-paid first-year HOA dues and immediate possession available, this offering represents a compelling entry into one of the West Coast's most exclusive enclaves. In the Santa Lucia Preserve, land is finite, views are enduring.
