The offering consists of a developed residential and operational core set within a larger contiguous land holding, providing a combination of immediate functionality and long-term optionality. The property is presented as a whole, inclusive of existing improvements, infrastructure corridors, and undeveloped acreage.

Land Composition
Approximately five acres of the property are improved with a custom residence, insulated shop structure, internal roadways, and supporting operational systems. The remaining acreage is largely undeveloped high-desert land characterized by open basins, gentle slopes, natural benches, and usable terrain suitable for a range of agricultural, residential, or mixed-use applications.
The land configuration allows for separation between the developed core and the surrounding acreage, offering flexibility for future building envelopes, operational expansion, or conservation use.
Land Use & Agricultural Readiness
In 2020, the property reached a stage where commercial agricultural use was actively evaluated, including sourcing nursery-grown lavender starts and high-altitude Christmas tree stock from commercial producers. Approximately five acres north of the residence were cleared in preparation for planting, with additional acreage assessed for longer-term agricultural use.
No crops were installed, allowing the property to remain unencumbered by prior operational commitments. The site is presented with land preparation completed but without imposed agricultural use, providing a future owner the ability to implement their own strategy based on market conditions, scale, and preferences.
Boundaries & Adjacencies
The property is partially fenced, with established fencing along the eastern and southern boundaries adjoining large neighboring ranch holdings. Northern and western boundaries are unfenced. The land is not dependent on neighboring parcels for access, utilities, or services, and all primary infrastructure is contained within the property boundaries.
There are no shared systems or access easements required for normal operation of the property.
Access & Internal Layout
Multiple gated access points serve the property, supporting both residential and operational use. Existing internal roadways provide circulation between the residence, shop, and surrounding acreage. The layout supports equipment access, vehicle movement, and future development planning without interference with the primary living area.
Use Flexibility
Stargazer Ranch is suitable for a variety of uses consistent with county zoning and rural land practices, including residential, agricultural, operational, or mixed-use ownership. The property has previously been evaluated for private ranch aviation uses, including airstrip and helipad placement, subject to FAA and local regulatory review. No aviation infrastructure is constructed, and any future approvals would be the responsibility of a buyer.
Offering Context
This property is offered as a complete, infrastructure-resolved landholding with a functional residential core and significant remaining acreage. The site is presented in its current condition, with land characteristics, access, and improvements documented for review. Buyers are encouraged to conduct independent due diligence regarding zoning, allowable uses, and future development.
