About this home

Stud Valley Ranch is a iconic desert property. At the height of Pioneertown's film and television days, Stud Valley Ranch was home to lodging the film crew. It was later a campground and one could camp in their travel trailer and also rent a Jeep from this location to explore the desert. The history of this property is fascinating and well documented. Today, the in-town twenty-six plus acre ranch is home to a living, working Western Cowboy lifestyle with a charming home, a rustic barn and ancillary buildings. The home features a great room with a small library, a den, two bathrooms and a loft. Radiant heat is in the floor and mini-splits provide air conditioning. There is an attached greenhouse that provides passive solar. A recently added bonus room is a multi purpose space. The barn is a large open space with a private room upstairs. It has a 3/4 bath and the kitchen has a 1940's stove and laundry. A small office is a petite building located next to the grape arbor and Koi pond and it's heated with a pot belly stove. Down a winding path one will find the unique pump house that has guest quarters and it's own separate bath house with indoor and outdoor showers. There is a 60' wooden roundpen, two large pipe corrals, a large turn out of apx. 1 acre, two shade shelters and a lovely large shade tree for your horses. The land has the most beautiful 360 degree views and mature trees and desert flora. This property is completely private yet located in town. There are two excellent wells. This is an amazing opportunity for one to live in a most desirable location!

Condition Rating
Fair

The property was built in 2001, making it 23 years old. While it features modern radiant floor heating and mini-split air conditioning, and a recently added bonus room, there are no interior photos of the main home's kitchen or bathrooms to assess their condition, style, or features. The description explicitly mentions the barn's kitchen has a '1940's stove,' indicating significantly outdated appliances in at least one functional kitchen space on the property. Without visual evidence of extensive, recent renovations to the primary living areas, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms, the property likely falls into the 'Fair' category, suggesting it is aged but maintained, with functional components that may show signs of being outdated.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Historical Significance & Unique Character: The property boasts a rich and well-documented history, having served as lodging for film crews and a campground, offering a distinctive and iconic desert experience.
Expansive Acreage & Privacy: Spanning over 26 acres, the ranch provides exceptional privacy and vast open space, a rare find for an 'in-town' location.
Comprehensive Equestrian Facilities: Equipped with a 60' wooden roundpen, two large pipe corrals, a 1-acre turnout, and shade shelters, it's perfectly set up for horse owners and an equestrian lifestyle.
Diverse Ancillary Structures & Versatility: Beyond the main home, there's a rustic barn with an upstairs room and bath, a separate office, and a pump house with guest quarters and indoor/outdoor showers, offering significant versatility and potential uses.
Panoramic Views & Natural Beauty: The property offers breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views of the desert and mountains, complemented by mature trees and native flora, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and living experience.

Cons

Limited Main Home Square Footage: The primary residence is relatively small at 988 sqft, which may not meet the expectations of buyers seeking a larger main living space, despite the extensive land and additional structures.
Niche Market Appeal: The strong emphasis on a 'Western Cowboy lifestyle' and specialized equestrian facilities targets a very specific buyer demographic, potentially narrowing the pool of interested purchasers.
Maintenance of Multiple Structures: With numerous buildings including the main home, barn, office, guest quarters, and equestrian facilities, the property likely requires significant ongoing maintenance and upkeep, which could be a consideration for potential buyers.
