The 2.53-acre lot you’re considering in California City is indeed a gem for those seeking tranquility and the beauty of desert landscapes. With its O/AR zoning, which stands for Open Space/Agricultural Residential, it’s ideal for a personal retreat or a small ranchette. This zoning allows for a variety of uses, including residential homes, agricultural activities, and keeping of animals, making it perfect for a self-sustaining, "off-grid" lifestyle. The lot’s location offers the best of both worlds: a peaceful setting with expansive views and the convenience of being close to the city center with all necessary amenities. As this property has been in one family for generations, it holds a legacy waiting to be continued by someone who values the serene desert life and the freedom to create a personalized oasis. For more detailed information on development standards and land use for this zoning category, the California City Planning Department provides resources and guidance.
