Roots
Envisioning the Future
In 1981, the Guerra Nut Shelling Company, led by Anthony Guerra, and area land owners began working with San Benito County on plans for developing the Santana Ranch property with a vision to bring quality housing, more businesses and services to the community, and thereby provide more opportunities for future generations. In 1989, the San Benito County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to designate this region as a "Special Study Area" to encourage development at 4 dwelling units per acre. Upon approval of our specific plan, construction in Santana Ranch is anticipated to begin within two years and continue in phases over the next ten years.
