Coffee planters destroyed son's private property (8,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

personal effects

'private property' is the definition.
(I know that personal effects is a type of private property)

'coffee planters destroyed son's' is the wordplay.
'destroyed' is an anagram indicator.
'coffee'+'planters'='coffeeplanters'
'coffeeplanters' with letters rearranged gives 'personaleffect'.
'personaleffect'+'s'='PERSONAL EFFECTS'

(Another definition for personal effects that I've seen is " Property".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
