Description

MILK RANCH—THREE CABINS. A rare, privately held legacy property with more than 104 years of family ownership, this 39±-acre mountain retreat is rooted in the rich history of the Cuyamaca region. Within the historic Rancho Cuyamaca Mexican Land Grant dating to 1848, the property carries the longstanding name “Milk Ranch,” reflecting the area’s early ranching and cattle history. The name lives on through Milk Ranch Road. Situated at the base of Cuyamaca Peak, just 4.5 miles from beautiful Lake Cuyamaca, Milk Ranch offers privacy, natural beauty, recreation, and California history, with more than 100 miles of hiking and equestrian trails nearby. Three separate cabins—including a full-time primary residence and two additional heated cabins—along with two wells, a year-round spring-fed pond, established orchards, raised garden beds, and a metal workshop with covered parking create the foundation for a remarkable family compound, private retreat, or self-sufficient mountain homestead. The primary cabin features solar as its main power source, complemented by operational hydroelectric and generator backup systems; the two additional cabins are generator-powered. Seasonal elderberries, native azaleas, wild berries, abundant wildlife, and other natural resources add to this extraordinary opportunity to own a private piece of California mountain history.
