What Can You Do With Your Land Near California?

Whether you're planning to use it now or hold it for the future, owning land near the California border gives you flexibility, space, and freedom. Here are some of the most popular ways buyers use their land

Set Up a Private Campsite

Many of our parcels allow for RV parking, tent camping, and temporary structures. With fewer restrictions than in California, you can create your own weekend escape—no reservations or campground fees required.

Start a Homestead or Hobby Farm

With the right zoning, you can raise chickens, goats, or even horses. Some buyers plant small orchards, grow food, or set up a self-reliant lifestyle on their acreage. It's perfect for getting out of the city and into the soil.

Build an Off-Grid Cabin or Tiny Home

Zoning in rural counties often allows for self-built homes, cabins, or tiny houses. Use solar panels, haul water, and enjoy peace and quiet without neighbors or HOAs. It's your land—you choose how to use it.

Use It as a Bugout or Backup Location

Many California residents buy rural land as a backup plan. If things ever change, you’ll have your own space ready to go—no landlord, no rent, no rules.

Create a Recreational Retreat

From hiking and ATV riding to stargazing and hunting, the open terrain offers plenty of room to roam. It’s a great option for outdoor lovers, hobbyists, or families looking for fresh air and space.

Hold It as a Long-Term Investment

Land near California continues to increase in value over time. With low holding costs (no utilities, no structures), it’s a low-risk, high-upside way to invest in your future or pass something down to your kids.
