Discover the serenity of Hollister Ranch, where 8.5 miles of protected shoreline and over 14,000 acres of wildlife habitat offer an unparalleled escape from the chaos of modern life. With minimal human presence, the ranch allows wildlife to roam freely, offering a unique opportunity to observe their natural behavior. Experience a profound sense of peace and silence as the tranquil environment transports you away from the noise of the outside world, promoting mental clarity and emotional well-being. Hollister Ranch is a sanctuary for those seeking solitude and a break from the demands of society.

Tajiguas is located south of Hollister Ranch. Tajiguas was a Native American village of the Chumash people. Tajiguas probably means 'the basket.’ The village was situated on the Pacific coast, at the site of the current Tajiguas Beach, 2 miles west of Refugio State Beach.

There has been some movement in Hollister Ranch real estate lately. Most dramatically is the several million-dollar price adjustment for the Hollister Ranch Realty listing of James Cameron’s Parcel 89. The 50% interest in Parcel 109 has gone into escrow with a sale pending. Hollister Ranch Realty has put the 1/12 interest in Parcel 2 into escrow. Jesse Wooten closed escrow on the 1/12 interest on Parcel 7. Please remember that the seller of the main house building rights interest on Parcel 48 will consider seller financing. Please call to discuss that possibility.

Over the weekend, Hollister Ranch Owners were pleased to invite The Nature Conservancy to explain their plans for our next-door neighbor, the Jack and Laura Dangermond Preserve. The one-time Jalama Ranch and Cojo (Bixby) Ranch together comprise over 37 square miles of the land around Point Conception. The land is host to a variety of wildlife species, as it touches two major terrestrial and two major marine biomes.

The students at De Las Cruces School (just outside Hollister Ranch) are very fortunate to have that opportunity. The ratio of students per teacher is 12:1 (with a state average of 22:1).

As summer draws to a close and the kids go back to school, there has been more real estate activity here at the Ranch.

It all begins with an idea.
