The town of Cambria lies on California’s central coast, midway between San Francisco and Los Angeles. It is often described as “the jewel of the California coast.” This picturesque town is situated five miles south of the historic Hearst Castle and is nestled in the southern most stand of Monterey Pines. The Cambria/San Simeon area is considered the gateway to the Big Sur Coast and offers a comfortable lifestyle close to the Pacific Ocean. San Luis Obispo, with its famous Thursday night farmer’s market and convenient airport, is less than an hour away from Cambria. To the east are 10,000 plus acres of vineyards and several wineries. The Paso Robles wine region is also just minutes away. View vicinity map.

The county of San Luis Obispo, with its rigid environmental regulations, has protected the Monterey Pines and California Oaks to create a truly unique and lovely seaside environment.

More than 35 years ago, the Leimert Company was fortunate to acquire more than 550 acres of Cambria property formerly known as the Smithers Ranch. The original ranch was one of the early cattle grazing and dairy operations active in the first part of this century. Many of the ranches in the region date back to the days of the Spanish dons. With careful and expert care, the Leimert Company has created one of the most sought after residential areas on the California coast. Large lots and sensible restrictions have encouraged purchasers to construct many homes that have won high praise from discerning seekers of a truly unique lifestyle.
