More Mesa – Santa Barbara, California

More Mesa, located at the western edge of Santa Barbara, California, is a 325 acre pristine bluff top meadow overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It is the last undeveloped such property of this size in the area. For years it has been a nature preserve, beloved by locals who come to walk, bike, swim and enjoy its incredible beauty. It is also home to myriad varieties of local plants and animals.

More Mesa has been eyed by developers for years, but at the moment remains a natural sanctuary. A recent listing offers it for sale for the grand sum of $65 million dollars, truly a staggering amount. But due to our deep love of this beautiful and irreplaceable land, we have started this site in the hope of helping to turn the magnificent More Mesa into public land for generations to enjoy.

On October 11, 2025 The Land Trust for Santa Barbara County announced the first-ever permanent conservation easement on More Mesa. The 36-acre easement, conveyed by the County, ensures permanent protection for the first portion of this beloved 325-acre coastal bluff landscape. This wonderful news is accompanied by our encouragement to continue the work to preserve the entirety of More Mesa.

Please help, get involved, donate and tell your friends, especially if they might be the generous type!

We wish to acknowledge the The Land Trust of Santa Barbara County and More Mesa Preservation Coalition for their dedicated and priceless work.
