Welcome to Sage Flats Ranch, a 40-acre high desert sanctuary in Olancha, California, just 20 miles south of Lone Pine along the scenic 395. About 2.5 hours from Los Angeles, this extraordinary estate immerses you in the natural beauty of the Northern Mojave, where meadows, natural springs, shaded cottonwoods, and deep ravines create a private, ever-changing landscape. With Olancha Peak as a dramatic backdrop and sweeping views of the Owens Valley, Coso Mountain Range, and Eastern Sierras, this property offers a rare connection to the majesty of California’s Great Basin Sage region. The main house, built in 1945, is a charming ranch-style home featuring three bedrooms and two baths, blending classic desert character with modern comforts. Inside, a fireplace crafted from local granite and obsidian anchors the living space, while the expansive wrap-around sunporch is the perfect place to savor sunrise and sunset views. Large windows throughout the home frame the stunning vistas, letting the desert light pour in and creating an inviting, airy atmosphere. Adjacent to the main house, a 20’ x 40’ studio/garage provides incredible versatility—ideal as guest accommodations, an artist’s studio, or a workshop. French doors open to southern views, while a wood-burning stove adds warmth and ambiance. On the opposite side, a two-car garage with roll-up door offers ample storage. The converted boiler room has been transformed into a cozy guest suite with its own wood-burning stove, offering a secluded retreat for visitors. Sage Flats Ranch also celebrates its rich history. The historic water-tank house, an original 1900s wooden structure over 20 feet tall, provides a unique vantage point to enjoy panoramic vistas. A homesteader cabin from the early 1900s sits tucked among cottonwoods and sycamores, fully fenced and brimming with rustic charm, creating a private retreat within the property. Everything is already in place, including electricity, a well, and partial fencing, making the estate ready for your vision—whether you dream of a private desert sanctuary, a creative retreat, or an adventurous base for exploring the Eastern Sierras.
