About this home

Nestled in the rugged backcountry of East San Diego County, Red Cloud Ranch is a rare sanctuary where modern luxury meets natural beauty. Spanning approx. 388 acres of rolling fields, vibrant oat hay, and serene landscapes, the property feels worlds away—yet is less than an hour from the coast. The property shimmers under the mountain sun, setting the stage for a life of privacy, recreation, and timeless California living. Completed in 2018 by master builder Greg Agee and architect John Jensen, the main residence is a showcase of design and craftsmanship. At approx. 5,023 sq. ft., soaring 20-foot ceilings, six bedrooms, five bathrooms, a media room, custom lighting and storage, and a three-car garage, the home captures sweeping views of the Santa Ysabel Mountains. Light-filled interiors blend seamlessly with the outdoors, while a resort-style pool and spa, spanning 55 feet, solar-heated with an automatic cover, invites year-round relaxation. Multiple fireplaces and firepits create the perfect backdrop for gatherings large and small. Beyond the residence, the property transforms into an extraordinary retreat for recreation and entertaining. A full-size pickleball court, cowboy croquet, organic garden, and chicken coop bring both playfulness and practicality. The one-of-a-kind “Miner’s Village” along the creek—complete with stage—offers a magical setting for live music, performances, or private celebrations. Guests can fish or kayak at Blackberry Pond, which is approximately .5 acres at a 20 foot depth at its fullest, or head to the shooting range, outfitted with multiple.. benches for both training and sport. At the social core of the ranch, the approximately 2,000 sq. ft. Party Barn sets the scene for weddings, concerts, or spirited gatherings. With soaring ceilings, dramatic chandeliers, and dedicated restrooms, it is equally suited to elegant occasions or rustic celebrations. A separate 1,200 sq. ft. manager’s residence with three bedrooms and two bathrooms provides flexible accommodations for staff, family, or guests, while an RV/storage structure adds further utility. For equestrian and agricultural pursuits, the estate offers a four-stall horse barn, hay barn, and thriving orchard, boasting peaches, nectarines, plums and apricots. Five active wells producing 5-60 gallons/min, 55,000 gallons of water storage, and on-site gas, diesel, propane storage, 1,500 sq. ft. workshop and 3,000 sq.ft. equipment storage, ensure operational independence across hundreds of acres. Red Cloud Ranch is as self-sufficient as it is versatile, with infrastructure supporting everything from recreation and farming to hospitality and conservation. Located just minutes from the historic mountain town of Julian, the ranch offers the perfect balance of seclusion and connection. Whether envisioned as a private family retreat, a luxury event venue, or a generational legacy, Red Cloud Ranch is more than a property—it is an experience, a lifestyle, and a place to write your story.
