About Us

The Ranch at La Cresta is a sanctuary of restoration, connection, and community. Once an overgrown and abandoned property, it was brought to life by the Brooks family, who felt called to complete the vision left by its original builder and share it with others. Nestled on an active orchard and equine therapy facility just east of Laguna Beach, nestled in the Santa Rosa Plateau; The Ranch offers a unique space where preserved and working lands coexist. Visitors can hike historic trails, experience the tranquility of nature, and participate in a wide range of events that embrace agriculture, community, and nostalgia.
