Description

Discover the rare opportunity to own a sprawling 20-acre parcel in California City, a community originally envisioned to become one of California's largest master-planned cities. These expansive ranch lots are a direct result of the bold vision of Nat Mendelsohn, a 1950s developer who purchased over 80,000 acres in the Mojave Desert with dreams of building a city to rival Los Angeles. As part of that grand plan, these oversized parcels were engineered into the layout to offer buyers a unique blend of freedom, flexibility, and future Zoned for rural and agricultural use, this 20-acre lot is ideal for those seeking privacy, off-grid living, equestrian activities, or long-term investment. The large size allows for potential uses including ranching, hobby farming, recreation, or simply enjoying wide-open desert views under clear starry skies. With limited development and vast open space, the area offers peace and seclusion, yet it's still accessible from key routes leading into California City proper. While much of the original infrastructure in the outer parts of California City remains undeveloped, these large lots were designed with that in mind- -allowing for septic systems, private wells, and solar energy solutions for self-sufficient living. With very few neighbors, minimal light pollution, and endless potential, this is a perfect canvas for visionaries, land investors, or anyone seeking room to roam. Whether you're looking to build your dream desert escape now or hold for the future, this 20-acre lot offers a unique slice of California's untapped promise.
