Recreational Land for Sale in Imperial, California
Payne Rd, Imperial, CA 92251
Dream big on this 160.15-acre opportunity in Imperial, CA. Spanning two contiguous parcels (APN 034-290-027 - 120 acres & APN 034-300-044 - 40.15 acres), this land is zoned S-2 (Open Space / Preservation) and ready for visionaries. Just 0.5 miles from a 92kV power line and 1.5 miles to the Seeley Substation, it's perfectly positioned for utility-scale solar energy development. Beyond solar, the wide-open desert setting lends itself to off-road events, RV and camping facilities, outdoor recreation, or youth retreats, all compatible with S-2 zoning. With Imperial Valley's growth and increasing demand for renewable energy, recreation, and open land, this property is more than acreage; it's a blank canvas. Whether you're an investor, developer, or adventurer, the potential here is wide-open.
