The magnificent residence is located on elevation about one-half mile from beach and commands a fine view of plains; ocean and mountains. The ranch is called the Boca de la Playa, Spanish sentence which means "mouth of the beach." A clear never failing stream of water runs through the valley, which is green with dure. A portion of this valley remains in pasture, where the large herd stock of Messrs. Asheroft & Pryor kept, and from which the Ana market is supplied with such well-tended and excellent meats. A part of the valley is under cultivation with many products, and another part is planted with walnut, lemon or other fruit trees.
