Property Description
This historic ranch once the off-the-grid retreat of Hollywood legend Loretta Young, is ready to pass on a rare opportunity for self-sufficiency and privacy. This remarkable property features a well-maintained 500-foot well—so abundant that even Sparkletts expressed interest, according to the owner. Set on 4.68 sprawling acres (203,861 sq ft) in Winchester, CA, this home offers ultimate seclusion and a unique off-the-grid lifestyle.
Owning your own well means true independence from municipal water systems, granting year-round access to fresh water without fluctuating costs or restrictions. This reliable water source easily supports the home, stables, gardens, and the surrounding land, making it ideal for both daily living and agricultural needs. In an era where water sustainability is increasingly valuable, this private well is a priceless asset that enhances the property’s long-term value and environmental appeal.
The ranch blends rustic charm with classic Hollywood elegance. As you approach via the long, winding driveway, you’re welcomed by a classic hitching post and wide verandas—perfect for enjoying the scenic surroundings and outdoor relaxation. Inside, large windows fill the rooms with natural light, and modern concrete floors offer a striking contrast to vintage details such as intricate moldings and elegant fixtures.
This move-in-ready home boasts a brand-new roof, updated plumbing, and an upgraded electrical system, ensuring modern convenience and efficiency while preserving its historic allure. With dual entrances, the home is both practical and charming, providing flexibility for its new owners.
Though completely off the grid, this property is located near a developing community with nearby subdivisions, sidewalks, and utilities, offering the best of both worlds—serenity and independence, with easy access to urban amenities.
The owner is ready to sell this unique sanctuary where Hollywood glamour meets off-the-grid living. It’s more than just a home; it’s a lifestyle of independence, sustainability, and the comfort of controlling your own water supply. Don’t miss this opportunity for privacy, elegance, and modern reliability.
