3,328-acre Rice Airfield property in Southern California, strategically positioned near major CA, NV, and AZ markets. Former airfield with high-capacity water wells, prior solar entitlement history, and significant future development potential.
Description
Rice Airfield is a ±3,328-acre (approximately 5.2-square-mile) contiguous development opportunity in an unincorporated area of Riverside County, California. As one of the largest privately controlled development opportunities in Southern California, the property offers the scale and flexibility to accommodate a single-user campus or large-scale, multi-use phased development. The property features two completed groundwater wells supported by hydrogeologic investigations, pump testing, and aquifer characterization. Existing testing reported an estimated 380 GPM during a 24-hour pump test, while engineering evaluations identified potential for a future high-capacity production well estimated at 2,500–3,500 GPM. This groundwater infrastructure may provide a significant advantage for water-intensive industrial, energy, infrastructure, and next-generation development uses. Rice Airfield benefits from flexible zoning that allows for multiple potential redevelopment uses, including utility and infrastructure projects, solar power facilities, and other large-scale developments. The property previously received approvals for a Concentrated Solar Power facility following extensive environmental, engineering, biological, and cultural studies, establishing a substantial body of prior entitlement and development analysis. Strategically located along Highway 62 with approximately 2.75 miles of frontage, rail accessibility, and regional connectivity to Southern California, Arizona, and Nevada, Rice Airfield is positioned to serve a broad range of industrial, logistics, energy, infrastructure, and other large-scale users. All proposed uses, water capacity, zoning, entitlements, and development plans remain subject to independent verification and applicable approvals.
