Thank you for your continued interest and support. We believe that dedicated efforts and encouragement, such as yours, have shown that September Ranch has a strong support system consisting of business leaders, Carmel Valley residents, and the community-at-large. September Ranch Partners remain committed to conscientiously develop a conservation community, while preserving the heritage, beauty, and environment of this Carmel Valley landmark.

In 1966, Howard and Anne Morgens bought the 896 acre working September Ranch property. The property included equestrian boarding facilities, as well as a pasture perfect for grazing cattle. The rolling hills and meadows were also home to wildflowers, with valley and ocean views as far as the eye can see.

Jim and Ned Morgens, Howard and Anne’s two sons who grew up on the property, are leading the September Ranch development project. The goal of this development is to conscientiously develop a residential community, while preserving, in perpetuity, as much open space and habitat as possible, thus preserving the existing buildings and pasture on the ranch, which have come to symbolize the look and feel of Carmel Valley.

September Ranch Partners proposes to develop only 9% of the family-owned ranch and preserve 91% using conservation easements that are perpetual and irrevocable. The housing development also will include 22 inclusionary housing units that will be designed to reflect the landscape of Carmel Valley and be set out of view from Carmel Valley Road. The equestrian center that encompasses the red barn, which includes the stable and tack room will remain, as will the farmhouse.

September Ranch residents and equestrian center patrons will have access to more than eight miles of hiking and equestrian trails into Jack’s Peak Park. Open access to the one-plus miles of trail into Jack’s Peak Park from Carmel Valley Road, as well as an additional 240 acres donated by the September Ranch Partners, will be open to the public.
