Set against the wide-open landscapes of Caliente, California, this custom-built estate delivers the kind of space, privacy, and scale that’s becoming nearly impossible to find. Sitting on 20 expansive acres and USDA eligible, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath, 3,200 sq ft home blends classic design with the freedom of rural living. Step inside and the home immediately opens up with soaring cathedral ceilings and Spanish tile flooring that runs throughout, creating a warm, timeless foundation for the entire space. Natural light pours through the home, highlighting the generous living areas and thoughtful layout designed for both everyday comfort and entertaining. Built in 2008, the residence offers the modern convenience of newer construction while still capturing the charm of a custom countryside retreat.

Outside, the real magic unfolds. Twenty acres of usable land stretch around the property, offering endless possibilities for recreation, animals, gardening, or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of wide-open Kern County skies. Whether you’re dreaming of a private ranch, weekend escape, or full-time country lifestyle, this property provides the canvas.
