Lone Pine Ranch has been put up for sale by the descendants of the late stock market titan Dean Witter, who purchased the ranch with his wife Helen in 1942.
The couple created the ranch from three separate purchases and used it as both a ‘working ranch and personal retreat’, family members told the Wall Street Journal.
Witter lived in San Francisco but would often visit the ranch, which is about six hours away, by a train that stopped right on his property.

The ranch has been in the family ever since Witter (pictured) passed away in 1969, becoming a destination that many of Witter’s descendants have cherished for decades

‘It’s been a place where a lot of Witters have grown up in ways that we would not have, had we not had the experience of these trips to the ranch,’ Brooks Witter, the investor’s great-grandson, said.
Brooks began going to Lone Pine Ranch when he was six years old and would spend at least two weeks there every summer.
‘As a kid, we would play in the river and ride horses every day. We would drive around and look for wildlife in the back of a truck,’ he recalled.

Brooks Witter, the investor’s great-grandson, said visiting the ranch is like ‘being whisked away back in time’
Listing agent Bill McDavid said the one word he would use to describe the ranch is ‘authentic’ and ‘has a feeling of grandma’s house mixed with museum’
‘It’s one of the most remote places in one of our most populous states. It’s really a treasure in Northern California to have this many acres of really pristine land.’
And Brooks said little has changed at the house since his childhood days.
‘You walk into the house and there’s a sense of being whisked away back in time,’ he said.

‘I sell a lot of ranches that are built to look and feel old…but they’re not really old,’ he said.

‘I don’t mean to diss them,but when you go into this place…it has a feeling of grandma’s house mixed with museum because Dean Witter, I gather, was a real Hemingway kind of guy.’
As beloved as the ranch has been by the family for the better part of a century, Brooks said they believe now is the right time to let someone else cherish it.
‘There are now 13 owners,’ he explained. ‘The demographic of ownership is just going to get more complicated with each generation.’
‘Considering a third of the family uses it regularly, a third uses it infrequently, and then a third not at all, it feels like the right time to let someone else appreciate.’
If the ranch is a little too steep for your pockets, the Witters’ 3,019-acre White Ranch – located just across the creek from Lone Pine – is also on sale for a cool $4.95million.
