1998 marked the 100th year since Alexander MacMillan (“A.M.”) Allan and his wife Satie Allan, my grandparents, purchased the land and built the ranch at Point Lobos. All of us — the six generations who have spent parts of their lives here — appreciate their foresight. A.M. Allan purchased this property in 1898 as part of a former Spanish Land Grant, which included what is known today as Point Lobos State Reserve.
