Expert Tip. The Willows' grounds once encompassed more than 1,000 acres at the turn of the 20th century. The main home was part of the Fairview Orchard, reportedly named for the property's panoramic view of Mt. McLoughlin. Today, the five-acre estate includes a swimming pool, a croquet lawn and the namesake trees in the lush garden.
