More Insights

Condition: This property is described as a 'luxurious off-the-grid haven' with structures that are 'beautifully furnished and fully appointed.' While a specific built year isn't provided, the mention of 30 acres of pistachio orchards planted in 2022 strongly suggests recent and significant development or extensive renovation across the entire estate. The images support this, showcasing modern and well-maintained interiors. The kitchens feature updated cabinetry (white shaker, light wood with glass fronts), modern stainless steel appliances (including a professional-style range and microwave), contemporary countertops (butcher block, solid surface), and stylish sinks (farmhouse, modern single basin). Bathrooms are also updated with modern fixtures, shiplap paneling, and subway tile showers. The presence of mini-split AC units indicates modern and efficient cooling/heating systems. Overall, the property appears virtually new or extensively renovated to current quality standards, with no visible deferred maintenance.

About this home

Major Price Reduction! Incredible Value! Shamana Ranch, an expansive 240-acre property, just under two hours from the bustling heart of Los Angeles. This stunning retreat is located at the base of the majestic Sierra Nevada Mountains, amidst serene high desert scenery and sweeping ever-changing vistas. A central housing compound serves as the heart of the estate, offering a luxurious "off-the-grid" haven and comfortably sleeping twelve persons. The compound features four cabins (one with a full kitchen, two with kitchenettes and all with en-suite baths) and a grand Great Room Lodge, complete with a custom stone fireplace, a bar, powder room, and a fully equipped kitchen, perfect for entertaining or relaxing in style. All structures are beautifully furnished and fully appointed. The property is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts and duck hunters. There are eight duck ponds (equipped with blinds), multiple quail houses, and feeders. Mesquite trees are located throughout the property, creating an ideal habitat for high desert wildlife, including quail and rabbits. The estate is fully fenced to ensure privacy and security. Water resources are plentiful with two wells, one domestic and one agricultural, the latter pumping an impressive 330 gallons per minute. Additionally, the property boasts 30 acres of irrigated pistachio orchards, planted in 2022, providing both beauty and future income. Enjoy outstanding desert sunsets from the magnificent, covered pond house. The expansive pond has a lovely central water feature as well as an aeration system to ensure the health of the pond. Two outbuildings serve as storage and workshop spaces, complemented by a carport, a kennel and two 40-foot vented shipping containers. For added convenience, the estate is equipped with a 2500-gallon water tank, making it an ideal blend of luxury and functionality. Easy access to the natural wonders of Jawbone Canyon, with its extensive network of trails for ATV recreation, beautiful Red Rock Canyon (a hikers' paradise!) and just a short drive from the fun shops and restaurants of historic Ransburg. The California City airport is conveniently located just 20 minutes away by car. This is a truly rare offering not to be missed! Total property is comprised of 15 contiguous parcels, being sold together as a package.
