Monterra Ranch in Monterey

Monterra Ranch is a luxurious gated enclave with 168 home sites on over 1700 acres of beautiful coastal California land. Located just a few miles from magnificent Monterey Bay, in Monterey, CA, Monterra Ranch is perched on sundrenched hills that tend to be just beyond the reach of the coastal fog most days.  The terrain, as you would expect, is hilly and covered in old growth oak trees and magnificent Monterey pines with an abundance of wildlife and natural beauty.  The best part about living here besides the weather and privacy is the proximity to all that makes the Monterey Peninsula such a special place to live.  The beach is just 10 minutes away.  Carmel-by-the-Sea is just over the hill.  Pacific Grove's beautiful rocky shoreline is only just a short drive.  The spectacular Pebble Beach Golf courses are only minutes away as well.  This is an ideal location out of the hustle and bustle of city living but close to all the action.

The Homesites

Monterra Ranch still has an abundance of lots and land available to build on, many of which are available at great prices due to the downturn in the economy.  The lower priced homesites are typically on smaller lots, located closer to neighboring parcels although there is still plenty of elbow room.  The larger more expensive building sites with often have views of the Monterey Bay and will have more land and offer the home owner more privacy. Each lot will have a building envelope defined with the remaining land designated as scenic easement.  This ensures the look and feel of Monterra Ranch will live on.
