Rancho Potrero de San Carlos

Rancho Potrero de San Carlos was a one square league (4,307-acre (17.43 km2)) Mexican land grant in present-day Monterey County, California. It was given in 1837 by Governor Juan B. Alvarado to Fructuoso del Real, a Native American from the Mission San Carlos. The land had been part of the pasture of the Mission San Carlos. The grant was located on the south bank of the Carmel River. As of current day, it is part of The Santa Lucia Preserve, a gated community and nature preserve.
