property. This single story home is stunning in all aspects of design, construction, and location. Don West designed the estate and the home was featured in “Dream Homes Central California.” At the top of the ranch there are two lined irrigation ponds totaling over 100 acre feet of water storage. Both the irrigation ponds and the main home are situated on the upper 185 acre parcel.
There are millions of dollars in improvements throughout the ranch. It would be difficult to create many of these improvements in today’s world. The centerpiece of the ranch is an approximate 3,780s.f. custom estate home overlooking much of the
Currently the ranch has been operating as an avocado ranch. All of the additional improvements support the current farming operation. There is a nice ranch manager home plus two mobile homes used by the workers. There are numerous agricultural
outbuildings as well. La Palapa, a retail store, is situated down by the entrance and does a brisk business in avocados and accessories. On the south side of the highway is a great bridge, numerous wells, and a handful of wind towers for frost protection.
Today there are approximately 30 acres of avocados in production consisting of 12 acres on the south side of the road and approximately 19 acres on the northern portion of the ranch. The remaining avocado trees, approximately 180 acres, are either “stumped” or in a possible replant situation. These trees were stumped due to the lack of water from the drought and as a farming technique to reinvigorate production. Every projection on the avocado ranch is subject to rainfall and well production. Existing conditions mandated a cutback on the trees. There are a number of wells throughout the ranch. The main home has a dedicated domestic well. Today 4 of the 6 irrigation
wells are operable. Additionally, there is a gravel sump pump in the creek. At the end of last summer the seller estimated water production to be 40 gpm. After a recent rainfall well production was approximately 400 gpm. All irrigation water is pumped up to the reservoirs. One could view this offering as a newly planted avocado ranch; however, today there is not sufficient water, without trucking it in, to make it all work. This property has been priced to reflect the drought situation and the uncertainty surrounding the orchard. However, take a look at what is included in the purchase: Stunning estate home, multiple parcels, coastal view,
mountain views, big time water storage, multiple residences, La Palapa, incredible privacy, paved road frontage, and a mile or so to town! Morro Creek Ranch is a very special place.
