The property sits entirely within the Arvin Edison Water Storage District (AEWSD), one of the valley's most reliable and well-managed agricultural water districts, and is further supported by two on-site agricultural wells. That combination — district surface water backed by independent groundwater — delivers the kind of supply certainty that permanent crop investors and row crop operators alike increasingly struggle to find.
The Land
Edison South Ranch encompasses 233.64 assessed acres in the early-farming window of Arvin, California — one of the San Joaquin Valley's most productive and climatically advantaged growing regions. The soils are 100% Vineland-Bakersfield complex, drained, 0 to 1% slopes, carrying a California Revised Storie Index rating of Grade 2 (Good). Flat, uniform, and deep, these soils support a wide range of permanent and annual crops without the drainage or topographic constraints that limit productivity elsewhere in Kern County. Perimeter foliage provides wind buffering across the farm.
Current Use & Crop Potential
The farm is currently generating income in vegetable rotation — a productive holding pattern for a property with significant permanent crop upside. The soils and water supply position Edison South Ranch as a strong candidate for development to citrus, blueberries, stone fruit, almonds, or pistachios, with the infrastructure and input logistics already in place to support a transition. Continued use for row, field, or vegetable crops is equally viable for buyers seeking near-term cash flow with optionality.
Improvements
The property is meaningfully improved for an agricultural operation of this scale: a 1,700-sf residence, 2,400-sf shop, and 69,600 sf of covered equipment storage — an exceptional facility rarely included at this acreage tier, and one that substantially reduces the infrastructure investment required to operate at full capacity from day one.
Immediate Cash Flow — Seller Leaseback Available
The Seller will lease back the property for up to two years at $1,000 per acre per year, on a triple-net basis — providing immediate cash flow and a seamless transition for the incoming owner.
Regulatory & Zoning
The property is zoned Exclusive Agricultural (A) per Kern County and is enrolled in the California Williamson Act, providing preferential property tax treatment in exchange for a commitment to agricultural use.
