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. Nestled on an active orchard and equine therapy facility just east of Laguna Beach, the Ranch offers a unique space where preserved and working lands coexist. Visitors can hike historic trails, experience the tranquility of the Santa Rosa Plateau, and participate in seasonal events that embrace agriculture, community, and nostalgia.
