Splitrock Farm and Retreat started in January 2021 after a global search of a place to set roots, live off the land, and create an amazing place for recreation, relaxation, and rejuvenation.
Splitrock Farm
Splitrock was part of a 160-acre avocado farm that prospered from 1970 to 2017, generating over 1million pounds of avocados per year until the previous owners switched off the water in 2017. Ben purchased 101 acres in 2021 with plans to harvest the dead avocado trees for firewood and replant with organic, sustainable crops such as grapes, citrus trees, and flowers.
Splitrock Retreat
Splitrock's attraction comes from its unique groves, magnificent granite boulders, and sweeping vistas. Mixed within the avocado groves are several ancient groves and solitary trees that include 200 foot tall pines, hundreds of old oaks, and soaring palms. Freckled throughout the hillsides are thousands of humongous granite boulders, offering a prehistoric feel to the landscape. Above all, Splitrock offers unrivaled views. Over 40 miles of coastline includes views to Point Loma, the Carlsbad power station, and the Pendleton Hospital. To the northeast are views of near 11K foot snowy peaks of San Jacinto and San Gorgonio, with rolling hills of De Luz and Fallbrook in the foreground.

Sundog Hills Farm & Camp
1 site · RV, Tent10 acres · Fallbrook, CA
About the property~
Before the farm became Sundog Hills, long ago it was owned by a farmer with a love for fruit trees. A persimmon and blood orange grove were planted, as well as handfuls of macadamia trees, avocados, asian pears, guava, figs, grapefruit, lemon, and cactus pear.
Sundog Hills was established in 2023 out of the passion for sustainable living, nature, and community by Ebony & Nat, and at the time a rescue dog named Choli who loved to sunbathe. With the increase of noise and chaos in the world today, we knew it was time to bring our vision to life and share it with others. With many months searching, we found this beautiful, but neglected, 10 acre land situated up in the high hills of Rainbow.
Sundog Hills offers a place to be absorbed in nature while only 10 minutes from the highway. You as our guest get to enjoy 10 acres of natural beauty surrounded by native plants and wildlife as well as hundreds of fruit trees. Relax into the wispy tree line, walk the loop around the property through the groves, or see how many wild plants you can identify!
Beautifying the land is still underway so you may notice some of the rehabilitation taking place while on your walk. You’ll also notice a wide variety of trees around the property that the lush landscape and elevation offers, such as Eucalyptus and Acacia, a lookout view at the top hill that offers a magnificent panoramic vista of the surrounding area, and the best star gazing views with a chance to see a Moonbow!
