41 +/- deeded acres, 8 miles west of Anderson with 31 +/- acres partially planted to 136-year-old olive trees first planted around 1887. Improvements include the historic Alexander Mansion and water provided by Clear Creek Community Services District. The property has frontage on Palm and Olive Avenues, both paved County roads. Some acreage in the SW corner is naturally treed with seasonal creek. Between 1884 to 1890, Mr. Samuel Thomas Alexander acquired 1,700 +/- acres in an area known once as Olinda, today known as Happy Valley. Mr. Alexander planted olive and fruit trees plus developed a system of ditches providing water for the orchards. In 1890, Alexander constructed the two-story, red-brick mansion, which 133 years later, still stands on the property but in very poor condition.
