Americana Desert Barn Lot - Military, Jeeps, Boats, Junk

About the Space

The Desert Red Barn Americana Junk Lot is a rugged sprawl of industrial debris, weathered props, and mechanic relics, set against the dramatic backdrop of California’s high desert. At the center sits a sun-faded red barn workshop, its interior crammed with tools, mechanic gear, and authentic junkyard texture. Outside, the grounds overflow with Americana grit — rusted paint cans, tires, vending machines, vintage washing machine, jeep, military truck, boat, wagon, chairs, stacked wood, storage crates, wood chipper, and even a basketball hoop. Behind the barn, a Quonset hut shelters an old van under repair, surrounded by scattered mechanic tools and industrial clutter — a perfect cinematic vignette for character-driven scenes. This environment is fully authentic and un-staged: a working yard of rust, metal, and history. Ideal For: • Post-apocalyptic or dystopian film worlds • Music videos with raw Americana or grunge aesthetic • Industrial/fashion editorials in unique desert settings • Vehicle stunts, chase scenes, and mechanic shop sequences • Narrative shoots needing authentic workshop or junkyard backdrops Site Features: • Red Barn Workshop filled with tools & clutter • Americana junk spread outdoors (military truck, jeep, boat, Pepsi vending machines, saws, lumber, barrels, paint, etc.) • Quonset Hut with van + mechanic setup • Desert backdrop with rugged hillsides • Adjacent to other ranch sets and forest backdrop • Secluded, fully private, optimal for total creative freedom • We are 100% stunt and blood friendly – perfect for action, horror, or FX scenes • Modular Film Set Capable. The site’s mix of rust, dirt, and desert color palette makes it transformable — from a sun-bleached wasteland to a high-fashion editorial space. All props and structures are movable, repainted, and redressed per production design needs. On-Site Production Amenities: • Flat shaded staging zones available to productions for base camp and catering setups • Access to power where possible, with courtesy generator available for student films and non-profit shoots • Productions of 20 people or fewer are automatically permitted to use our modern bathrooms and showers located at the main ranch house. • Larger productions must bring their own FilmLA-approved sanitation units. • On-site parking for crew vehicles and grip trucks • Optional basecamp and greenroom area on adjacent property (negotiable) • Lockable 120 sq ft accessory buildings with internet available for staging or production use • Access to main ranch house kitchen and lounge • Day & Night Use approved — golden hour & moonlit looks available Can be combined with other on-site locations (cabins, trailers, forest, vintage cars, saloon, first junkyard, etc.) This is a real working environment — gritty, weathered, and cinematic. This property is a private ranch and residence that occasionally hosts permitted film and photography projects. “ArtFarm Movie Ranch” is an artistic brand identity — not a standing studio or permanent film facility. All productions must carry FilmLA permits and comply with local health and fire codes.
