Adobe (1-ft walls & original beams) Private Water Well REQ Zoning (½-acre lots) Barn • Bunkhouse • Round Pen
Opportunity & Provenance: One of Apple Valley’s original ranch sites, this 1946 adobe home (approx. 1,706 sq ft) rests on 10± acres with a private water well, thick earthen walls, and massive original beams—a living artifact from the town’s founding era tied to the legacy of Newton T. Bass. Minutes to St. Mary’s, shopping, schools, and dining—yet wrapped in big-sky quiet and mountain views.

A 1946 Adobe That Keeps Time

Built the same year Apple Valley’s modern story took off, the home’s one-foot-thick adobe walls and heavy timber beams showcase craftsmanship designed for the High Desert—naturally tempering summer heat and storing winter warmth. Inside, long sightlines, honest materials, and an easy single-level layout create a calm, enduring canvas for daily living.

“History you can live in: adobe integrity, post-war pedigree, and acreage that’s increasingly rare.”

Beyond the residence, the property’s scale and infrastructure invite equestrian life, creative pursuits, and future planning—without sacrificing the authenticity buyers crave in a legacy ranch.
