5282211 NW Corner of HWY 40 & Fort Cady St

SOLAR FARM OK! Approximately 78 acres of flat, contiguous land across five parcels located at the northwest corner of Fort Cady Road and 40 Needles Highway in Newberry Springs. Zoned RL-5 (Rural Living – 5 Acre Minimum), this property offers flexible development potential, including solar energy projects, agricultural production, residential estates, and possible conditional uses such as private school, child care facility, church, or special event venue. The land runs parallel to Interstate 40, providing excellent visibility and logistical access, and is just 20 miles east of Barstow. Newberry Springs is an emerging hub for renewable energy. The area is already home to Newberry Solar 1, a 1.5 MWac solar facility, and is located near the Daggett Solar and Storage Project, one of the largest utility-scale renewable energy projects in the region, featuring 394 MW of battery storage and 65 MW of solar generation. This location benefits from proximity to Southern California Edison’s Lugo-Pisgah Renewable Transmission Corridor, which supports large-scale energy development. The region also draws from the Mojave Aquifer—one of the largest in the western United States—supporting diverse agriculture and irrigation for crops such as pistachios, apricots, and alfalfa. With a sunny, mild desert climate and access to one of the state’s key transmission corridors, this property is well-positioned for both solar and agricultural investment.
