The large, mostly flat yard is one of the property's strongest features, with room for gardening, pets, outdoor dining, parking, storage, and flexible outdoor use. Mature fruit trees include pomegranate, apple, plum, and apricot, along with raised garden beds that have been used for growing food. The fully fenced grounds offer a comfortable balance of sun and shade, with the mature oak helping create naturally cooler, shaded areas.

The upper guesthouse is separately metered for electricity, while the main house and lower guest space share utilities.
