Step into the wild heart of California’s desert frontier at this rare 12-acre historic mining property nestled deep within the Calico Mountain Range. Surrounded by rocky peaks, weathered cliffs, and sweeping valleys, this off-grid location offers a jaw-dropping backdrop for film productions, photoshoots, commercials, music videos, and documentaries. The property features six authentic safe gold and silver mine tunnels, dating back to the old frontier mining days, complete with mine entrances and natural rock formations that scream mystery and adventure. Above, you’ll find rocky mountaintops with natural alcoves and dramatic overhangs, ideal for capturing cinematic moments at sunrise or sunset. A hidden natural spring minutes away adds to the mystique of this wild setting, offering a rare touch of life in an otherwise rugged, arid landscape. With zero light pollution and full exposure to the sky, it’s also a dream location for night shoots, astrophotography, or post-apocalyptic themes. ⚠️ Important Note: This location is remote and accessible by 4x4/truck only. There is no electricity or water on site — true off-grid wilderness. Production teams must come self-contained and prepared.
