The story

A ranch with a long memory

Lloyd Butler Ranch has been in the same family since 1864. Guests arrive along a grand eucalyptus-lined drive, past legacy avocado groves, to a white ranch house with a wide, columned porch.

Couples marry on the grand lawn, gather on the porch for cocktails, and dine under the stars. It works just as well for corporate gatherings and private celebrations, and as a location for film and photo shoots.
