Surrounded by a living masterpiece of rolling hills, ancient oaks, and breathtaking sunsets, we find that the raw materials of our environment are constantly being elevated into something sublime. To live here is to participate in a shared sense of beauty that transcends the ordinary.

Nature as a Muse

The unique landscape of the Santa Rosa Plateau serves as a boundless source of inspiration. Our members have found that the quiet majesty of the plateau and the dramatic play of light across the valley floor inspire a diverse array of creative expressions:

• Visual Arts: Local painters and photographers frequently capture the shifting colors of our sunrises and the structural elegance of our heritage trees.

• Creative Writing: The serenity of our horse trails and the peace of the back-country provide the perfect atmosphere for poets and writers to hone their craft.

• Architectural Harmony: Many of our residents have designed their homes to reflect the natural contours of the land, creating a seamless blend between artifice and nature.

Cultivating a Creative Community

This shared appreciation for beauty does more than just inspire individual art; it fosters a harmonious way of life. We believe that when we are surrounded by such natural excellence, it encourages us to strive for excellence in our own lives and in the way we govern our community.

True stewardship means protecting this "art" of our environment. By maintaining the integrity of our lands through thoughtful and transparent governance, we ensure that La Cresta remains a sanctuary for creativity and a testament to the sublime beauty of the California landscape.

As we look to the future, we continue to celebrate the many art creations born from this land, proving that when life is lived in harmony with nature, life itself becomes the greatest work of art.
