Rancho De Los Kiotes, Spanish hacienda ranch in Carlsbad, United States.
Rancho De Los Kiotes is a 27-acre historic hacienda in Carlsbad featuring multiple adobe buildings and Spanish architectural styles throughout the property. The complex includes a main residence, artist studio, and seventeen additional preserved structures connected by pathways and canyons.
Actor Leo Carrillo founded the hacienda between 1937 and 1940, acquiring the original land to create a weekend retreat and working estate. The property grew into an important location for preserving California's Spanish heritage.
The ranch displays handcrafted items from early California life and maintains structures reflecting Spanish colonial building traditions. These objects and buildings show how daily work and family life unfolded here.
The property is accessible through guided walking tours that cover the main house, artist studio, and preserved historical structures throughout the grounds. Wear comfortable shoes and plan enough time to explore the different areas of the site.
The property carries the Flying LC brand symbol and continues its original mission of promoting California's Spanish heritage through ongoing programs. This lesser-known aspect shows how the hacienda remains actively engaged in education and cultural preservation.
