Settled Lands 2,000 of the Preserve's 20,000 acres are designated as Settled Lands, privately owned and used for limited, controlled development. The Settled Lands include Homelands and Rancholands. Homelands are carefully sited envelopes for residences. These Homelands were identified and selected based on a combination of environmental and aesthetic values. They are positioned in The Preserve's least environmentally sensitive areas and are separated from one another, in most cases, by several hundred yards. Rancholands contain the community-serving and recreation amenities of The Preserve Golf Club, The Ranch Club and their facilities, including the golf course, the Hacienda, the Polo Pools, the equestrian center and sports center. The areas accommodating settlement and development occupy only 2,000 acres and account for just 10 percent of Santa Lucia Preserve. |
