Agricultural Land with Home for Sale in Porterville, California
31898 Success Valley Dr, Porterville, CA 93257
A rare opportunity to own two Harry Gesner designed residences on 200+ acres in the California foothills. Known for his sculptural lines, organic forms and seamless connection to nature, Gesner created homes that feel alive with artistry and intention. This remarkable property captures that spirit with two of his designs plus an additional guest dwelling, all set against sweeping views and complete privacy. The main home is a round 3 bedroom 3 bath retreat that reflects Gesner's signature style with warm natural materials from the area and light that shifts beautifully throughout the day. The living spaces invite you to relax and take in the landscape, and the private pool creates the perfect setting for outdoor living. The second residence is a round 1 bedroom 1 bath showcase featuring an unforgettable fireplace that feels like functional art. Its outdoor kitchen expands the living space to take in natural views and make gatherings effortless. Nearby is a charming studio with a bathroom, ideal for guests, artists or multi-generational living. Across the 200 acres you'll find former orange and lemon groves, open land for cattle and long views that stretch across the valley and up toward the mountains. A few Washington navel oranges remain for personal use. With ample acreage and ideal growing conditions, plus water shares in the South Tule Independent Ditch Company, there is significant potential to replant citrus. The property also includes a functional shop and covered storage spaces, perfectly suited for farm equipment and agricultural operations. Open ground could be used for an equestrian facility with plenty of area and trails to explore. A building pad with infrastructure provides an additional home site. Only 2 miles from Lake Success, a short drive from River Island Country Club or the Porterville airport, and near the gateway of the Sequoia National Forest, the setting offers the kind of privacy rarely found in properties of this scale.
