A century ago, the seaside village of Carmel was founded as a haven for artists and writers who were drawn to the rugged natural beauty and pastoral calm of the Monterey Peninsula. Today, more than 2,000 acres of rolling hill country above the still vibrant community of Carmel have been transformed into a spectacularly secluded rural retreat adjoining a private golf course, whose membership is by invitation only, created by the legendary Jay Moorish.
Guided by Clint Eastwood's vision of sustainable development, Tehama has preserved more than 85% of its land as pristine open space and was honored in 1999 with the prestigious Golden Bear award for its careful preservation of the environment. Residents of this upland enclave about two hours south of San Francisco enjoy a life of unparalleled cultural enrichment, sporting enjoyment and natural splendor. Annual events such as the Monterey Jazz Festival, the Concours d'Elegance and the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am Golf tournament infuse the region with rich cultural diversity.
Minutes away from the Santa Lucia Highlands wine country, the art galleries of Carmel and the beaches of Monterey, everything the area has to offer is just a short and scenic ride through the hills and abundant natural beauty that is Tehama.
