The Redington Ranch is a nearly 15,000-acre winter range ranch that was purchased in the 1970s to expand the cattle operations of William Hewlett and David Packard, the founders of Hewlett Packard Corporation. The partners recognized that the rolling green hills in the winter months and numerous creeks and ponds provided an excellent location for cattle ranching and a beautiful family retreat. Over the years, the partners improved the ranch's natural water assets by drilling 20 wells and adding several large water tanks. They also brought reliable power to the ranch and built a shop/barn. In 2006, a three-bedroom, two-bath mobile home was located on one of the ranch's taller hills. With its spectacular view, the home has served various purposes, including a headquarters for ranch operations, accommodations for family and friends, and a ranch manager's home. A permitted septic system, sized for a 10-bedroom home, along with a filter water system, power, and Internet, provide the infrastructure for the existing home and a more formal and larger home. The Hewett family planted two varieties of olive trees, although the trees have not been harvested or managed for several years. The Ranch is currently leased to a cattle grazing tenant.
