Our Story
A place with soul. A family with heart. An experience designed around you.
The best experiences are not rushed.
Built by a Legend
In the 1990s, Ken Kragen — the music manager who guided the careers of Kenny Rogers and Lionel Richie, and orchestrated “We Are the World” — went searching for a place to escape. He found 751 acres of rolling hills in Paso Robles wine country and built a retreat worthy of the life he’d lived.
The Oak Villa was designed with his architect, Woody Woodruff, as a gathering place — a home where friends could stay for weeks, where astronomers from Berkeley would come to stargaze through the fourth-floor observatory, and where the biggest names in music felt completely at ease.
Dolly Parton was a regular. She and Kenny would hike to the Lookout Point at sunset, sit on the ridge, and sing — just the two of them, their voices drifting across the valley. No audience. No cameras. Just the hills and the music.
That’s the spirit we inherited when we took over this land. Not a venue. A place where people come together and something memorable happens.
You can sit on the back patio and look out for 25 miles.

Restored With a Purpose
Our family matriarch discovered Eagle Oak Ranch after years of searching for something real — a place to gather the way she remembered from childhood summers in Paso Robles.
The estate had fallen into disrepair. She saw what it could become. She restored the infinity pool, revived the olive orchard that now produces renowned California extra virgin olive oil, and transformed seven spaces into one of central California’s most versatile private estates for wine country weddings and gatherings of all kinds.
Today, three generations care for this land. We’re selective about who we welcome — not to be exclusive, but to preserve the beauty and tranquility that make this place feel the way it does.
What we stand for
