Property Description
Location and Access:
This property has an exceptionally strategic location with frontage along both Highway 118 (L.A. Avenue) and Balcom Canyon Road, positioned just outside Moorpark. The dual road frontage provides excellent access and visibility, which is particularly valuable for agricultural operations requiring transportation of goods and equipment.
Climate and Growing Conditions:
The property benefits from Ventura County's Mediterranean climate, which is characterized by mild winters, warm summers, and limited rainfall. This climate is ideal for diverse agricultural pursuits, particularly for high-value crops like avocados, which are being grown on the property. Mediterranean climates typically feature:
Warm, dry summers with temperatures rarely exceeding 95°F.
Mild winters with minimal frost risk
Annual rainfall typically between 15-25 inches
Morning coastal fog that can provide natural irrigation
Water Resources:
The property has robust water security through two sources:
A private well producing approximately 900 gallons per minute (GPM), which is a substantial water source for agricultural operations
2,025 shares in the Berylwood Heights Mutual Water Company as a backup water source
The existing irrigation system suggests modern, efficient water management practices are already in place. This dual water source arrangement provides crucial redundancy for agricultural operations.
Land Characteristics:
The property's 134.64 acres are divided into:
The remaining acreage contains access roads and utility areas
Infrastructure:
The property features 14 propane-powered wind machines, which are crucial frost protection devices. These machines can protect crops during cold nights by mixing warmer upper air with colder ground-level air, effectively raising the temperature around sensitive crops.
Zoning:
The AE-40 zoning (Agricultural Exclusive, 40-acre minimum lot size) applies to all three parcels. This zoning typically:
Preserves agricultural land use
Prevents subdivision below 40 acres
Limits non-agricultural development
Maintains the rural character of the area
Development Potential:
The property's location 'just outside' Moorpark suggests potential long-term development value, though the current AE-40 zoning would require changes for any significant alerations in the land use.
