About Us
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Rancho Las Palmas, the estate sits within the original 8,444-acre Rancho Buena Vista. Founded by Hiram Corey, the land was once operated as a thriving stock ranch and became known as one of California’s premier beef and dairy ranches during the late 19th century.
