About this home
Welcome to Fobes Ranch… a truly extraordinary piece of California mountain history. Hidden in the San Jacinto Mountains in Mountain Center, California, this remarkable 78-acre private ranch offers something increasingly rare—space, privacy, and complete independence. Reached by a secluded four-mile drive from Highway 74, with no other residences along the way, Fobes Ranch is surrounded by the San Bernardino National Forest. This is a completely off-grid retreat, powered by solar, batteries and a propane back up, and a gravity-fed water system. The property features expansive, level acreage suitable for cattle grazing, a seasonally full pond, and miles of four-wheel-drive trails winding throughout the ranch. The main residence offers four bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. A separate two-bedroom caretaker's home, along with a bunkhouse, and 2 bathrooms, provide additional accommodations for family, guests, or staff. The ranch also includes a horse barn, greenhouse, gymnasium, multiple garages and sheds, and a 300-yard shooting range. For the outdoor enthusiast, the possibilities are endless—horseback riding, dirt bike riding, four-wheeling, hiking, wildlife watching, ranching, or simply enjoying the peace and solitude of your own private mountain retreat. The property is adjacent to the Pacific Crest Trail, placing some of Southern California's most spectacular mountain country right at your doorstep. The property is 25 minutes from Idyllwild, 1 hour from the Palm Springs Airport, 1 hour from Temecula, 1.5 hours from San Diego County and 2.5 hours from Los Angeles. And Fobes Ranch has a fascinating history of its own, including its association with Timothy Leary during the 1960s, adding another unique chapter to this remarkable property. The seller is also including most of the furnishings, ranch vehicles and equipment with the purchase. Fobes Ranch isn't simply a home. It's a ranch… a retreat… a piece of California history… and a rare opportunity to own 78 private acres surrounded by nature and a National Forest. Welcome to Fobes Ranch....
