Best memory guess is about 2 miles in off 101. They had their own shipping port/dock down at San Simeon Beach and their own hydro electric power plant back in the hills above the Castle.
I understand that Cal Poly Engineering Students thru energy grants are improving and updating the power plant and adding a series of small generation systems much like San Francisco's Hetch Hetcy Power and Water System on a much smaller scale of course
