An End-of-the-Road Desert Ranch Near Joshua Tree. Established in 2002 by “Cowboy Ed,” Rancho Contento is a western-inspired hobby ranch perfectly suited for film and production shoots. Featuring horse corrals, an arena, and wide-open undeveloped land, it’s a versatile backdrop for your next project. The property includes two 48x72 turnouts, each with a 16x24 shader, plus a large cattle pen with shader and a 110-foot round pen arena.
