About 36000 Tenaja Truck Trail

Welcome to an extraordinary, once-in-a-lifetime backcountry sanctuary where peaceful seclusion meets endless opportunity. Oaks, creek, and pines with wildlife are abundant on this gorgeous ranch! Perfectly situated just off the historic Ortega Highway—only minutes to San Juan Capistrano and close to Lake Elsinore—this pristine approximately 370-acre ranch land with home and 20,000 ft garage, offers an irreplaceable blend of off-grid autonomy, natural splendor, and rare coastal-adjacent convenience.

Historic Heritage & Open Sunlit Valleys Bordered by Cleveland National Forest on three sides, this expansive property rests under brilliant blue skies, surrounded by spectacular mountain views with an abundance of wildlife. Featuring 90% usable terrain, the land provides a vast, versatile canvas tailored for pursuits permitted under Riverside County Rural Residential (RR) zoning—whether you envision a premier equestrian facility, working cattle ranch, organic agricultural venture, or a serene private estate.

Established Footprints & Camp Legacy Once home to a historic Girl Scouts of America camp, the property comes equipped with invaluable existing improvements:

Refurbished Residence: A fully updated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home serves as an immediate primary dwelling, ranch foreman’s quarters, or comfortable weekend lodge.

Legacy Outbuildings: Multiple accessory structures from the original camp offer exceptional operational potential to convert into barns, tack rooms, creative workshops, or storage hubs.

Usable Pastures: Broad, open pastures provide ideal ground for livestock, riding arenas, crops, or private open space.

Unmatched Water Wealth & Off-Grid Infrastructure True land independence relies on vital resources, and this estate commands extraordinary self-sustaining assets:

Superior Water Rights & Storage: Multiple high-capacity wells delivering robust 200 GPM and 50 GPM flows, anchored by a massive 100,000-gallon water storage tank.

Off-Grid Independence: High-capacity solar system and established septic deliver self-reliance without sacrificing connectivity—high-speed internet is available.

Private Access & Security: Fully fenced and gated perimeter serviced by private internal access roads.
