Recreational Land for Sale in Santa Ysabel, California

Tucked away in the high country of Santa Ysabel, on the south-facing side of Mesa Grande, this remarkable 120+- acre holding is a rare and deeply private expanse of raw mountain land--offered for the first time in generations. ~Hidden beyond a long, meandering dirt road, the property unfolds into a pristine forested landscape defined by mixed oak woodlands, yellow pine forest, native chaparral, sage brush, and open sky. Winding internal roads and trails weave through the land, revealing a richly varied topography--from dense, shaded forest and rolling hills to small sunlit meadow pockets and natural clearings. The terrain itself tells a story, offering a true tapestry of variety that invites exploration and discovery at every turn. ~The land's natural features add both character and utility, including an old reservoir basin and two water wells, currently powered by solar and historically used to supply stock tanks. These elements reflect the property's long-standing agricultural and ranching heritage. With dark, star-filled night skies and beautiful south-westerly views, the setting is serene, unspoiled, and profoundly peaceful. ~Access is remote, via a long dirt road, with 4x4 recommended, reinforcing the property's sense of seclusion and privacy. This is land for those who value quiet, solitude, and connection to the natural world--ideal for a rustic retreat, private hunting ground, or a sanctuary for nature enthusiasts seeking a place to unplug and reconnect with the land. ~Rich in history, this acreage has been held generationally by one of the original families who homesteaded Angel Mountain on Mesa Grande in the mid-1800s. Few properties of this size and quality, come available making this a truly rare offering. This is not simply land--it is a legacy property, waiting for its next thoughtful steward to honor its past and shape its future.
