History
The Riata Ranch began as a portion of the Santa Margarita Ranch, which was included in Father Junipero Serra’s Mission Trail. With historical roots in the late 1700s, the area that is now Riata Ranch attracted people due to the quality soil, trees, and other natural amenities. Beautiful and mature oak trees continue to make this spot aesthetically appealing for guests and visitors alike.
