The development provides a “Stay and Play” lifestyle with the full benefits of resort living on a golf course, where every day feels like a retreat. Whether teeing off, kayaking access via trails from your backyard, enjoying mountain views from home, or exploring the region’s celebrated destinations, The Monterey Preserve is a true slice of heaven. This blend of resident comfort and destination appeal offers thoughtfully designed amenities that enhance daily living while also attracting and accommodating guests through hospitality, recreation, and leisure experiences.

The first 6 prime estate lots with plans by renowned architecture firm Studio Schicketanz enjoy sweeping views and 70 acres with direct access to the Elkhorn Slough and surrounding natural beauty, paired with full access to the Monterey Preserve Golf Club and its amenities. This neighborhood is distinguished by its commitment to environmental responsibility. Extensive water quality testing and eco-conscious course and land management reflect a dedication to sustainability, offering residents not only exceptional recreation but also the assurance of thoughtful stewardship of natural resources and the Elkhorn Slough.

Adding to its prestige, the historic golf course is celebrating its centennial year. Originally designed by the legendary Peter Hay in 1926, the visionary behind Pebble Beach’s short course and namesake of the famed Hay Course, this course carries a legacy of excellence. Hay’s philosophy of creating challenging yet accessible golf experiences lives on here, blending timeless design with modern playability. The restoration of the 100-year-old golf course ensures that every round honors the game’s heritage while embracing the beauty of its coastal setting.
