AFFORDABLE RESIDENTIAL LOT IN CALIFORNIA CITY — TINY HOME & MOBILE HOME READY

Here is a rare opportunity to own a legitimate, buildable residential lot in California City, Kern County, California. At 0.18 acres (7,840 sq ft) with 50 feet of road frontage along Kenwood Dr and a deep, functional building envelope, this R1-zoned parcel is verified and ready for your vision. With no HOA and annual taxes of only $31.00, the carrying costs are virtually nonexistent while you plan your build.

California City is one of the most uniquely planned communities in the American West — originally designed to be California's largest city by area, it sits in the high desert of Kern County with wide open skies, quiet streets, and a distinct frontier appeal. The region draws those seeking affordable land, desert solitude, and the freedom to build on their own terms, with Mojave Desert recreation, off-road trails, and the city's own golf course and recreational amenities all part of the local landscape.

Important Property Information

This lot is zoned R1 (One-Family Residential District) under California City's jurisdiction and is verified buildable. However, development is significantly limited by the absence of public utilities. There is no water service available — a well is needed, and the inspection recommends self-contained solar configurations and trucked-in water storage systems. A septic system is also needed; an advanced engineered septic holding system is required.

Allowed uses (verified): Site-built homes, mobile homes, manufactured homes, tiny homes, and cabins are all permitted under R1 zoning. Mobile homes: Yes, allowed. Tiny Homes on Wheels (THOW): Allowed under California City's specific certified Movable Tiny Home ordinance — this lot is noted as an excellent candidate for that designation.

RV living: Temporary recreational use only. Full-time RV living is restricted unless the structure qualifies under the city's certified Movable Tiny Home (THOW) ordinance exceptions.

Farm animals: Not allowed. Standard R1 residential district restrictions prohibit livestock operations on this parcel.

Setbacks: Front (Kenwood Dr): 25 ft | Rear: 5 ft (single-story) / 10 ft (two-story) | Sides: 5 ft each. After standard setbacks, the usable building envelope is approximately 40 ft wide by over 100 ft deep — highly functional for traditional homes or prefab structures.

Impact fees: Estimated base city Development Impact Fee (DIF) of $4,500–$8,000. Under AB 602, fees scale by square footage and drop to city minimums for small off-grid footprints. School district development fees ($4.00–$5.17/sq ft) are fully exempt for structures under 500 sq ft.

Closing & Title Options

This property can close through a title company with title insurance for approximately $1,800–$2,200, or through Land Supplier’s in-house closing for $499. The buyer is responsible for performing their own due diligence and for paying all closing costs and title fees if choosing to close through a title company.
