Real Estate [Abstract] |
Real Estate Development | Real Estate Development Real estate development assets are comprised primarily of land and land development costs for the East Area II property in the amounts of $10,624,000 and $10,201,000 as of October 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. East Area I, Retained Property and East Area II In fiscal year 2005, the Company began capitalizing the costs of two real estate development projects east of Santa Paula, California, for the development of 550 acres of land into residential units, commercial buildings and civic facilities. In November 2015 (the “Transaction Date”), the Company entered into a joint venture with the Lewis Group of Companies (“Lewis”) for the residential development of its East Area I real estate development project. To consummate the transaction, the Company formed Limoneira Lewis Community Builders, LLC (“LLCB”) as the development entity, contributed its East Area I property to LLCB and sold a 50% interest to Lewis. The Company and LLCB also entered into a Retained Property Development Agreement on the Transaction Date (the “Retained Property Agreement”). Under the terms of the Retained Property Agreement, LLCB transferred certain contributed East Area I property, which was entitled for commercial development, back to the Company (the “Retained Property”) and arranged for the design and construction of certain improvements to the Retained Property, subject to certain reimbursements by the Company. The balance in East Area II includes estimated costs incurred by and reimbursable to LLCB of $3,444,000 as of October 31, 2025 and 2024, which is included in payables to related parties in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. In January 2018, LLCB entered into a $45,000,000 unsecured Line of Credit Loan Agreement and Promissory Note (the “Loan”) with Bank of America, N.A. to fund early development activities. Effective as of February 22, 2023, the Loan maturity date was extended to February 22, 2024, and the maximum borrowing amount was reduced to $35,000,000. As of May 3, 2024, the Loan had no outstanding balance and was cancelled. As of October 31, 2025, LLCB had cash and cash equivalents of $31,227,000. In February 2018, the Company and certain principals from Lewis guaranteed the obligations under the Loan. The guarantors were jointly and severally liable for all Loan obligations in the event of default by LLCB. Additionally, a Reimbursement Agreement was executed between the Lewis guarantors and the Company, which provided for unpaid liabilities of LLCB to be shared pro-rata by the Lewis guarantors and the Company in proportion to their percentage interest in LLCB. The guarantee continued in effect until all of the Loan obligations were fully paid and the Loan terminated. The $1,080,000 estimated value of the guarantee was recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and, upon cancellation of the Loan in May 2024, was removed from other long-term liabilities and the corresponding value in equity in investments. In October 2022, the Company entered into a joint venture with Lewis for the development of the Retained Property. The Company formed LLCB II, LLC (“LLCB II”) as the development entity, contributed the Retained Property to the joint venture and sold a 50% interest to Lewis. There was a deferred gain of $465,000 on the transaction, which was deferred and recognized in fiscal year 2024. The joint venture partners will share in the capital contributions to fund project costs until loan proceeds and/or revenues are sufficient to fund the project. The Company made contributions of $2,150,000 and $480,000 to LLCB II in fiscal year 2025 and 2024, respectively. In April 2024, the Santa Paula City Council approved an amendment to increase the number of entitled lots at LLCB and LLCB II from 1,500 residential units to 2,050 residential units. Through October 31, 2025, LLCB closed on lot sales representing 1,261 residential units since inception. The Company received cash distributions of $10,004,000 in fiscal year 2025 and $15,005,000 in fiscal year 2024 from LLCB.
