Why Should I Buy a Piece of Undeveloped Land?

Own your Piece of California's High Desert – Affordable Kern County Land Now Available from Dollar Land Store 

There’s something special about owning land. Whether it’s for your future home, a quiet escape, or just knowing you have your own corner of the world, it’s a dream worth pursuing. At Dollar Land Store, we believe land ownership should be simple, affordable, and accessible, and that’s exactly what we offer with our parcels in California City, located in the high desert of Kern County.

California City might not be on everyone’s radar, but that’s part of the charm. Originally incorporated in 1965 with bold plans for growth, it’s a place where you can still find wide open space, quiet streets, and real potential. While some areas remain undeveloped, the city already offers paved roads, a central park, a golf course, its own municipal airport, and dedicated Police and Fire services. In other words, the bones of a strong community are already there, it's just waiting for more people with vision to see it's potential.

The parcels we currently have available - especially those near Blythe Place and 20 Mule Team Parkway - strike a great balance. You get the peace and freedom of open desert land, without being too far from the essentials. Just 11 miles from the heart of California City and around 26 miles from Mojave, these properties offer the kind of breathing room most city dwellers only dream about, but still give you reasonable access to highways, stores, and services when you need them.

What makes this area even more compelling is the natural beauty and adventure that surrounds it. Kern County is a playground for outdoor lovers. With nearly year-round sunshine and a climate that invites exploration, you’ll find yourself within reach of places like Red Rock Canyon State Park, Lake Isabella, the Kern River, and even Sequoia National Monument. Whether it’s off-roading, hiking, kayaking, or simply soaking up the desert skies, this area offers more than just land. It offers lifestyle.

But it’s not all about recreation. California City also sits near some key industrial and economic drivers. This includes the Hyundai/Kia and Honda vehicle testing facilities and the Rio Tinto borax mine in Boron which is the largest of its kind in the world. These longstanding employers give the area a steady economic foundation, which makes owning land here not just an emotional decision, but a practical one too.

For those looking to get away from it all, or for those thinking a few years down the line, these parcels are worth serious consideration. With more than 200 square miles of land, California City is one of the few places left in California where you can still find room to grow without breaking the bank. Whether you're thinking about future development, a weekend getaway spot, or simply want to hold onto a low-cost asset as a long-term investment, this could be your chance to do it affordably.

At Dollar Land Store, we’ve helped hundreds of people take that first step into land ownership. We don’t run credit checks, we offer flexible payment options. And we’re transparent about everything including maps, zoning info, and ALL contract terms, so you know exactly what you're getting. Our team is here to walk you through the process and answer any questions you have, no pressure, no hassle.

Of course, it’s important to understand that while the possibilities are exciting, there are always responsibilities. We encourage every buyer to confirm zoning and development regulations directly with Kern County before making plans for the land. As a reminder, dependent mobile homes aren’t permitted for occupancy per KCBC 17.44.060.
