Welcome to your historic rural oasis on the outskirts of Pioneertown. Showcased in the NY Times fashion section, the property features a rock hot tub or cool dipping pool surrounded by cactus gardens and the Sawtooth mountains. Just minutes from Pappy & Harriet’s in Pioneertown and replete with original art by the late Gerald Zeldin, custom furniture, and a grand piano. Also close to Joshua Tree park and the amenities of Yucca Valley. The historic mining property of The Ranch of The Rising Sun was designed and restored as a completely off-grid haven by filmmakerJulian T Pinder.

The Ranch of the Rising Sun, a mining base camp built in the 1920's, is the perfect balance of rustic charm and modern amenities. Off grid on a full solar system and water well, the home also provides high speed wifi, state of the art cooling and heating systems on a smart NEST thermostat, flatscreen tv with Netflix, Amazon etc, new top of the line oven / stovetop, vintage sound system with Bluetooth capabilities, keyless door entry etc.

Guests have access to the entire house and property, including the wood burning stove (eucalyptus firewood is provided at all times free of cost), cowboy wood burning hot tub / cool dipping pool, grand piano, native cactus garden, fire pit, outdoor banquet dining table, hammock, alkaline drinking water, and some of the best hiking in the area right out the back door.

The house and property are also right off of Pioneertown Road, with no long rough dirt roads to navigate and beat your car up on.

The ranch was built and owned by Julian Pinder, who has lived in the area for years. Rent from locals, not out-of-town investors!

Entire house and property, as well as endless hiking and adventuring right behind the house on thousands of acres of stunning Wildlands Conservancy land, no tourists or park fees to deal with, just old fashioned exploring!

There are detailed self-check in instructions. Tyler, my friend and property manager lives nearby and I'm 5 miles away at my other ranch. We respect your privacy 100% but if you need any advice, help, or have any questions we are always available by text or phone 24 hours a day.

Pioneertown was built in the late 40's as a functioning movie set by Roy Rogers and the Sons of Pioneers; hundreds of Westerns have been shot here. Catch live music at Pappy and Harriets, minutes away, and go hiking and horseriding out the back door.

Unfortunately you'll need a vehicle out here, it's rural!

*There's a very strict maximum of 4 guests in the house as the solar and septic system cannot handle any more than that.
