Executive Summary

Major price repositioning from $5,988,000 to $2,500,000 creates an opportunity to acquire approximately 18.73 acres near the Interstate 5 and Taft Highway interchange in Kern County.
The property consists of flat, usable land with approximately 959 feet of frontage along Taft Highway, providing strong visibility and accessibility along one of California’s primary north-south transportation corridors. The site is positioned near established freeway-oriented businesses and services, including Pilot Travel Center, Chevron, ARCO and AM/PM.
Electricity, public water and gas are available along the street, and an existing well is located on the property. Buyers should independently verify utility locations, connection requirements, available capacity and suitability for their proposed development.
The seller has provided multiple conceptual development renderings illustrating alternative visions for the property. The travel center concepts include potential fuel service, truck fueling and parking, truck service, hotel, restaurant, retail and related freeway-serving components. A separate conceptual rendering illustrates a potential data center campus with large-scale buildings and supporting electrical infrastructure.
These renderings are provided solely to demonstrate possible development configurations and are not approved plans or representations of existing entitlements.
The property is currently zoned A-1. Ownership previously explored a transition toward commercial development and commissioned a conceptual development plan. A future buyer will be responsible for completing all required studies, applications, General Plan or zoning changes, environmental review, engineering and entitlement work required for the proposed use.
Potential uses may include travel center, fuel station, truck service, hospitality, restaurant, retail, EV charging, industrial, logistics, distribution and possible data center development, subject to buyer verification and governmental approvals.
The combination of Interstate 5 access, frontage, available utilities, an existing well and multiple conceptual development options may appeal to developers, investors, owner-users, infrastructure groups and commercial operators seeking a strategically located Central California development site.
Buyer to conduct independent due diligence regarding zoning, land use, utilities, utility capacity, access, environmental matters, entitlements, development costs and all other aspects of the property.

Description

Approximately 18.73 acres of vacant land strategically located along Taft Highway near the Interstate 5 interchange in Kern County. This flat and usable parcel offers strong visibility, accessibility, and approximately 959 feet of frontage along a major California transportation corridor. The property is positioned near established travel-oriented commercial uses and freeway services, including Pilot, Chevron, and ARCO, making it well suited for evaluation for a variety of potential future development concepts. Potential uses may include a travel center, fuel station, truck service, hospitality, restaurant, retail, EV charging, industrial, logistics, and possible data center development, subject to buyer verification of zoning, utility capacity, entitlements, and all development requirements with Kern County. Seller-provided conceptual renderings illustrate two potential development visions for the property: a freeway-oriented travel center campus and a potential data center campus. The travel center concept includes fuel, truck service, hotel, restaurant, retail, parking, and related commercial components. The alternate data center concept demonstrates the site’s potential for a large-scale technology or infrastructure use. Electricity, public water, and gas are available along the street, and an existing well is located on the property. Buyers should independently verify utility locations, capacity, connection requirements, and suitability for their intended development. The property is currently zoned A-1. Ownership has previously explored a transition toward commercial development, and any future buyer will be responsible for completing the necessary studies, applications, zoning or General Plan changes, and entitlement process required for the proposed use. Its scale, Interstate 5 access, nearby utility infrastructure, and surrounding commercial activity create a compelling opportunity for developers, investors, owner-users, and infrastructure groups seeking a strategically positioned Central California development site. Buyer to conduct independent due diligence regarding zoning, land use, utilities, access, environmental conditions, entitlements, and all aspects of development.
