Hacienda at Tejon Ranch

The Accommodations

Walking into the Hacienda at Tejon immediately transports you to another era. Comfortably yet elegantly decorated in historic California ranch style, the house lends itself well to not only the recreational guest, but as the headquarters for corporate gatherings. With both formal living and dining rooms, the latter of which doubles as a conference room with hidden projection screen, Hacienda is ideal for entertaining both families and executives. Although the house is just off California's major thoroughfare, take one step into the serene backyard at the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas, and you're a world away.

The Experience

Almost half the size of Rhode Island, Tejon Ranch offers unparalleled private access to the wilds of four of California's eco-regions, the Sierra Nevada, Pacific Coast, Great Central Valley, and Mojave Desert. At the confluence of these lies a spectacular home for plant and wildlife biodiversity. Spend your days mountain biking the rolling grasslands, hiking the oak woodlands, and fishing the ponds and reservoirs.

The Legacy

Tejon Ranch is classic California, a land of legacy - bigger than life, rich in history, blessed by nature. Established in 1843 as a Mexican land grant, this grand sweep of territory was home to some of the Old West's most illustrious exploits. Trappers, hardy settlers and frontiersman, outlaws, the Camel Corps, Butterfield stagecoach lines, and Army dragoons all traversed its range. Historic pioneers such as Jedediah Smith, Kit Carson, and John C. Fremont explored Tejon's frontier. As in the days of the vaqueros, cowboys on horseback still herd cattle on open grazing land. Vast stretches of the ranch land still remain in their natural state, serving as one of the few living links to an era of prestigious ranches, thundering herds and impassioned pioneers.
