Just below the house, a citrus orchard thrives in a banana belt micro-climate which is ideal for growing food, In the rugged, forested canyon above the property, pristine pure fresh water flows year round into Partington Ridge's Mutual Water system, which provides plentiful water to the property, and is said to be the best water system on the coast. This is an extremely rare property, one of only 3 or 4 with this holy ridge's unique 180+ degree views.
