5 California Luxury Homes and a Prime Self-Storage Development Site

By Awais Manzoor

1 min read

This quintet of California offerings clusters around a premium-but-not-ultra-luxury price band, yet spans markedly different ways of living and investing. Along the coast, a renovated Malibu corner condo and a Ventura Heights hillside home channel panoramic ocean and island views with updated interiors. Inland, scale and flexibility take center stage in a gated 1.55-acre Bakersfield estate built for multigenerational life and entertaining, alongside a Moorpark executive home with room for guests. Rounding out the set is Bakersfield land with an approved ±594-unit self-storage plan.

Set on Taft Highway in Bakersfield, this entitled ±6.79-acre site is positioned for high-visibility commercial development with approximately 159 feet of frontage and strong access along the corridor. A General Plan Amendment for commercial use is already approved, alongside a zone change to C-2 PD (General Commercial) and an approved Precise Development Plan—streamlining the path from concept to execution. The property is also approved for a ±594-unit self-storage development, offering a clear, defined use case while still allowing flexible commercial and light industrial development potential. With a Highway 99 corridor location and excellent freeway access, the setting supports efficient circulation and exposure. Utilities are nearby—water, sewer, and gas (buyer to verify)—grounding future plans in practical feasibility.
