History
The property was purchased from the Munras family in 1953 by Frank Bishop, who along with wife Connie transformed it into a sizeable thoroughbred horse farm, with 36 stalls. Renamed Laguna Seca Ranch, the spread was originally planted in Kentucky Bluegrass and became the breeding ground for 1974 Kentucky Derby competitor Ga Hai, which that year won the Derby Trial. The Bishop family, which developed some of Laguna Seca Ranch into home sites as early as 1958, divested their final holdings of the property in the early 1990s. In 1999 the development of Pasadera took shape, with the new golf course and gated community unveiled in 2000.
