Invest in Desert Agriculture & Adventure Tourism
A unique opportunity to fund a combined sustainable farm and desert retreat destination in one of California's fastest-growing off-road tourism markets
The Opportunity
Three converging markets on a single property — agriculture, tourism, and water infrastructure
Sustainable Farm
Desert-adapted agriculture producing fresh food for the local community. Drip irrigation, water conservation, and heat-tolerant crops designed for arid climates. Revenue from CSA memberships, farm store sales, and digital guides.
Desert Retreat
Cabin and glamping rentals targeting the hundreds of thousands of off-road enthusiasts who visit California City each year. Secure vehicle parking, farm-to-table meals, and direct trail access. A market with strong demand and minimal quality supply.
Water Infrastructure
On-site well, solar pumping, and storage — the foundational asset that makes everything else possible. Located in a low-priority groundwater basin with no current SGMA restrictions. Potential future revenue from water hauling.
Why California City?
California City has been a premier off-highway vehicle (OHV) destination since the 1960s, hosting hundreds of thousands of riders annually. The city operates a formal OHV permit program and maintains hundreds of miles of trails connecting to Jawbone Canyon, Dove Springs, and the Rand Mountains.
Despite this massive visitor volume, there is a critical shortage of quality accommodations. Most visitors bring RVs and toy haulers, camping primitively. A farm-based retreat offering real lodging, meals, and secure vehicle parking would be the first of its kind in the area.
The property is located at 12 Sequoia Blvd, California City, CA 93505 — in the high desert of the Mojave, approximately 100 miles north of Los Angeles.

Phased Development Plan
We're building in phases — proving the concept before scaling. Investors can participate in Phase 1 with a smaller commitment and see results before Phase 2.
Phase 1 — Foundation
Water infrastructure + initial accommodations
What it includes:
- Agricultural well (500-700ft depth)
- Solar pump system + water storage tanks
- Initial farm infrastructure (drip irrigation, soil prep)
- 2-3 cabin/glamping units for retreat rentals
- Site prep, permits, and basic amenities
Why it matters:
The well is the gate — nothing works without water. Once the well is producing and the first cabins are booked, we have proof of concept for both the farm and the retreat. This de-risks Phase 2 significantly.
We have an established USDA FSA farm record (Farm Number 19385) and SAM.gov registration, positioning us for grant and loan programs that can supplement investor capital.
Phase 2 — Expansion
Scale accommodations + add revenue streams
What it includes:
- Additional cabins (5-8 total) + RV/toy hauler sites
- Farm-to-table dining and event hosting
- Expanded farm production + CSA program
- Potential water hauling service (non-potable)
- Marketing, equipment, and working capital
Why it matters:
With Phase 1 proven, we scale to full capacity. Multiple revenue streams operating simultaneously: lodging, food, farm sales, events, and potentially water services. This is where the business reaches profitability and scale.

Investment Structure
We're open to discussing terms that work for both sides
Revenue-Share Loan
Investors provide capital as a loan, repaid from project revenue over an agreed term. You keep ownership while investors earn a fixed return multiple. Payments scale with revenue.
Equity Partnership
For larger commitments, we're open to discussing equity ownership and profit-sharing arrangements. Ideal for investors who want ongoing participation in the project's growth.
Grant + Investor Blend
We're pursuing USDA NRCS, FSA, and California water programs to supplement investor capital. This reduces the total investor commitment needed and de-risks the project.
Detailed financial projections, use-of-funds breakdown, and ROI models are available to qualified investors upon request. We'll share the full pitch deck after an initial conversation.
