A truly unique property offering an exceptional opportunity. It holds significant historical value as the legendary "S-Star Ranch" once owned by Harry Bennett, gifted to him by Henry Ford in the 1940s. As noted by local historian Ann Japenga in her article titled "Hatchetman: The Desert Exile of Harry Bennett," the property's expansive views allowed Bennett to spot approaching vehicles from miles away, ensuring his safety and seclusion. Situated on a single 60-acre parcel with an elevation of 1,300ft, the property offers breathtaking panoramic views that make you feel as though you're on top of the world. The SW-facing view showcases the stunning San Jacinto Mountain, while the NW-facing view offers a spectacular sight of the San Gorgonio Mountain. According to the Desert Sun, the view of Mt. San Jacinto from Bennett's hilltop perch is unparalleled. In addition to its unrivalled views, the property includes multiple structures and ample room for expansion or development presenting countless possibilities for its utilization. The main house boasts 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, totaling 4,217 square feet, with an attached casita spanning approximately 520 square feet. Also features pool and spa for ultimate relaxation. Furthermore, there are 3 other structures on the property, including a two-story side-by-side vertical Duplex with two 1-bedroom and 1-bath units, each measuring 1,272 square feet, and a 3-bdrm, 2-bath, 1,200 square feet guest house located to the east. The guest house situated to the west of the main property offers 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, spanning 1,207 square feet. It includes a fireplace, adding to its charm and comfort. Additionally, the property has 3 pads total, 2 pads with its own private designated driveway access for potential residential development without comprising privacy. The property also features a hot mineral water well that provides a steady flow of water at temperatures exceeding 100 degrees and a volume of 105 gallons per hour which is a very unique feature. An advantageous aspect of this property is its adjacency to BLM (Bureau of Land Management) land, ensuring an enduring lack of neighboring properties. This presents an opportunity for residents to engage in various outdoor activities such as horseback riding, hiking, biking, and ATV adventures, all conveniently accessible from their own front yard.
