Rev Up Your Engines: A $15M Desert Oasis Awaits!

A sprawling 420-acre desert ranch in the California desert has hit the market for $15 million, offering a high-adrenaline playground for thrill-seekers and adventure lovers alike. This extraordinary private residence, known as Dune Ranch, is situated near the iconic Glamis Sand Dunes in the Imperial Valley**, a region recognized as a desert motor mecca and a prime destination for off-road riding and racing.

According to [Realtor.com](https://www.realtor.com/news/unique-homes/desert-ranch-california-high-octane-racing-airplanes/), Dune Ranch is a one-of-a-kind desert resort-style compound, developed in 2007 by a private investor who visits several times a year. The property features multiple buildings, including an 8,144-square-foot main house, airplane hangars, garages for rare off-roading vehicles, and private runways, solidifying its reputation as a luxurious compound tailored for desert riders and motorsport enthusiasts.

The ranch is equipped with two expansive racetracks, providing ample space for high-speed competitions. Accommodations include a total of 10 luxe bedrooms and 12 bathrooms, along with various guest accommodations spread across a casita, caretaker’s home, private bungalows, and luxury Arctic Fox trailers**. There are also 16 RV hookups, allowing for desert resort accommodations that far exceed the typical camping conditions near Glamis.

Designed to offer adrenaline-inducing thrills, this estate comes with an extensive fleet of rare off-roading vehicles, including 13 custom sand cars, 10 Polaris RZR RS1s, kid-size Razors, quads, and fully stocked riding gear. The owner even customized a 1958 school bus specifically for transporting guests to and from the dunes and racetracks. Offering the ultimate desert racing season experience, the property has also hosted NASCAR drivers and their crews, further emphasizing its appeal to elite motorsports professionals.

Maintaining such an expansive property requires a fleet of maintenance vehicles, including tractors, heavy equipment, water trucks, Kubota utility vehicles, and Kawasaki Mules. The ranch also has two 350-gallon-per-minute water wells, used for compacting the racetracks and maintaining the grounds. A vast collection of specialty tools, machinery, and spare parts, as well as themed elements like Christmas decorations and mounted American flags, are also included in the sale.

Beyond its thrilling amenities, Dune Ranch caters to those seeking luxury in the midst of rugged BLM land. The main house features a spacious kitchen, high-end finishes, fancy furniture, and a fully stocked bar that can seat 12 guests at a time. A 2,100-square-foot game room provides additional leisure space, with everything from arcade machines to wall-mounted classic cars included in the purchase.

With its prime desert location, unparalleled recreational offerings, and luxurious residence, this unique property stands as a one-of-a-kind opportunity for buyers looking to own an elite desert escape. According to listing agent Dug Mitchell of Mitchell Realty, the ranch offers something that can’t be replicated: "There is no other place like this on earth."
