At the base of the mountains in California City, this 40-acre parcel offers space, views, and the kind of quiet that is getting harder to find. The terrain is gently sloped with multiple areas that make sense for building, riding, or setting up a working ranch. Dirt roads already cross the property, giving it a natural layout that works well for horses, ATVs or equipment. The zoning allows for agricultural use with a lot of freedom. Manufactured and mobile homes are allowed, along with multi-family housing suited for ranch workers, making this a strong fit for someone dreaming of a working ranch, a guest-focused horse property, or a recreational retreat. The property sits within a rural subdivision while still keeping a rugged high desert feel. Power lines run nearby, and fiber service is planned for the area. A well and septic system would be needed. A seasonal stream appears during heavier rains, adding character without taking away usable ground. California City is known for its wide open skies, strong desert roots, and growing interest from people who value land and freedom over crowds. Being under an hour from Lancaster and within reach of Bakersfield and Victorville makes it feel remote without being isolated. Land where building something meaningful still feels possible, from a working ranch to a personal high desert retreat.
