Madera Land for Sale - Outlying Madera County
This offering presents a rare opportunity to acquire approximately 37.20 deeded acres of agricultural land located along the Highway 41 corridor in Madera County, California. Positioned in one of the Central Valley’s most active growth corridors, the property offers a compelling combination of agricultural productivity, strategic highway frontage, and long-term investment potential within the Rio Mesa planning influence area.
The parcel is located at 41737 Avenue 13 in Madera County, providing convenient access to Fresno, Clovis, and the broader Central Valley agricultural and logistics markets. Highway 41 serves as a major north–south transportation corridor connecting the Fresno metropolitan area to Madera County, the Sierra foothills, and recreational destinations including Yosemite National Park. The property’s location along this corridor provides excellent accessibility while maintaining the rural agricultural character of the surrounding area.
The site consists of 37.20± acres (approximately 1,620,432 square feet) of level agricultural land currently classified under county records for nursery and horticultural use. The property is zoned ARV-20 (Agricultural Residential Valley – 20 Acre Minimum), a designation intended to preserve agricultural land while allowing rural residential development on larger parcels. This zoning supports a range of agricultural activities including nursery cultivation, horticulture production, row crops, specialty crops, agricultural support uses, and potential rural estate development, subject to buyer verification and applicable county regulations.
A key asset of the property is its high-capacity agricultural well infrastructure. The well is equipped with a 50 horsepower pump and 12-inch well casing with seven-stage pump bowls, capable of supporting significant irrigation demand. Equipment specifications indicate capacity approaching 900 gallons per minute at approximately 400 feet, with reported operational production exceeding 800 gallons per minute. Reliable water production at this level is a major operational advantage for intensive agricultural operations and enhances the property’s long-term agricultural value.
Beyond its agricultural productivity, the property benefits from its location within the broader planning framework of the Rio Mesa Area Plan, a long-range planning initiative guiding future land use and infrastructure planning in this portion of Madera County. While the parcel is currently designated for agricultural use, its inclusion within the Rio Mesa planning influence area enhances its appeal as a strategic land banking opportunity, particularly as population growth and development activity continue to expand northward from Fresno and Clovis.
The surrounding corridor is experiencing ongoing infrastructure improvements that further strengthen the property’s long-term investment profile. Planned and approved projects include State Route 41 widening, with construction anticipated to begin in 2026, which will improve regional mobility and traffic capacity along this major transportation route. Additional roadway improvements in the immediate vicinity include upgrades to Avenue 12 and connecting arterial routes, along with the development of Rio Mesa Boulevard, which will provide improved access throughout the corridor and support future regional development.
The property’s location along Highway 41 provides a combination of visibility, accessibility, and long-term strategic positioning that is increasingly attractive to both agricultural operators and land investors. The parcel’s relatively large size and level terrain allow for efficient agricultural operations today while also providing flexibility for future uses as the surrounding region evolves.
With strong water infrastructure, highway access, and positioning within a long-term planning corridor, the property represents an attractive opportunity for buyers seeking productive agricultural land, a nursery or horticulture site, or a strategic long-term hold within one of the Central Valley’s expanding growth areas.
Prospective buyers are encouraged to conduct independent due diligence regarding zoning, water production, soils, environmental conditions, infrastructure planning, and potential development opportunities with Madera County and other applicable agencies.
