Where the Redwoods Meet the Ocean!

Welcome to Lizard Ranch
Our Story

Our Story

Ever thought of escaping the daily grind for some relaxation in the redwoods? Our property is tucked away and private, yet only 15 minutes to the sand.

We offer the best of both worlds.

This is exactly why we moved our family to the Santa Cruz area in the first place. Nowhere else can you get it all within 15 minutes!

We purchased the Lizard Ranch in 2021. Our dream was always to have a little slice of land to let loose, be ourselves, and find some Zen! There is nothing like waking up with a cup of coffee, listening to the birds, and watching the sunrise. All this is exactly why we moved our family to the Santa Cruz area in the first place. Nowhere else can you get it all within 15 minutes!

I think by now you can see why our family finds Lizard Ranch so special, and we hope you do as well.

Whether you want to spend time with your family, have a private hike through the woods, sip coffee and watch wildlife from your deck, while the sun rises over 100ft tall redwoods, you can do it here. Or you may simply want to share some wine and food with friends while listening to frogs and owls enliven the night while you watch the stars pass by. We are proud to share our family ranch, tyhe one we built to be a place of gathering, solitude, and self-introspection for you and your loved ones.
