The Cecil Ranch is private property just barely visible from Highway 45. Although we have not visited the ranch, we found the following description in a California Department of Parks and Recreation News Release dated 2 May 2003:

The ranch consists of a principal residence dating to 1909, as well as a number of secondary buildings, including a water tower built in 1910, a garage from the 1920s, a bunkhouse circa 1910 and a smokehouse constructed in the 1940s.

A friend of the Cecil family sent us an email, which read in part: "This image doesn’t begin to do the place justice with it’s circular drive, formal gardens with boxwood hedges and roses, and canopy of tall trees, but it’s something."
