Pioneertown Lodge For Sale
A rather interesting motel is up for sale in Pioneertown, California. Pioneertown is an unincorporated village which started as a live-in Old West motion picture set, built in the 1940s. The movie set was designed to provide a place for the actors to live and a number of Westerns and early television shows were filmed in Pioneertown. Roy Rogers, Dick Curtis, and Russell Hayden were among the original developers and investors and they built the Pioneertown Lodge in 1946 as part of a set.
The 18-room lodge is still in use as a vacation destination and managed to survive the 2006 Sawtooth Complex fire which burned much of the surrounding desert. The property is at a 4,200 foot elevation which keeps it cooler than the lower desert areas like Palm Springs. Rooms are decorated in rustic cowboy style with names like the Annie Oakley and the John Wayne but there is satellite TV and wifi. The property includes 17 stables, one-bedroom manager's quarters, antique wagons on over three acres. The property was listed for $749,000 but was recently reduced to $699,000.
