Rancho Corral de Tierra

Less than 10 miles from San Francisco, the 4,262-acre Rancho Corral de Tierra juts up from near the coast to Montara Mountain’s nearly 2,000-foot peak, offering awe-inspiring ocean views, habitat for several endangered species, vital watersheds and rich farmland.

But this natural gem was slotted for development into large estate residences until POST intervened!

POST bought the land from 2001 - 2003 and sold almost 4,000 acres to the National Park Service in 2011. The remaining acres continue to be used by a small farm operation.

Rancho Corral de Tierra became the southern gateway to the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.

The conservation of Rancho Corral de Tierra was a major accomplishment of POST’s Saving the Endangered Coast campaign. Thanks to those who contributed!
