If you use petroleum based oil, 3,000 miles or 3 months is a good rule of thumb. If you use synthetic oil, it's not really going to go bad, so as long as you start the engine regularly (to keep it lubricated), but just don't drive it far, you could extend the change interval, but I wouldn't exceed 3,000 miles / one year.
