640 contiguous acres in Olancha, Inyo County, California, positioned for a large scale AI/hyperscale data center or hybrid solar plus data center campus, located roughly a quarter mile from high voltage transmission lines. The site offers scale, isolation, and desert solar resource in a pro renewables state, with clean fee simple ownership and a simple land sale structure. Site overview • Location: Olancha, Inyo County, California (APN 033 060 14 00; MLS 2313130). • Size: Approximately 640 acres of contiguous, largely undeveloped sand dune desert land. • Access: Existing access via local roads with regional connectivity to US 395 and broader Southern California transport corridors. • Topography/setting: Remote, low density desert environment with wide buffers to residential uses, well suited for secured campus development, large setbacks, and phased build out. Power and infrastructure • Transmission proximity: Approximate 0.25 mile distance to nearby high voltage transmission lines, offering a clear path to significant future substation capacity subject to utility study. • Utility context: Within a California desert corridor that already supports utility scale solar and transmission infrastructure, aligning with state level decarbonization and electrification policy. • Scale potential: Land area and setback flexibility suitable for a multi phase campus targeting 100–300MW+ of IT load, subject to utility interconnection and permitting. Development concept • Primary concept: Hyperscale/AI data center campus with dedicated substation and potential on or near site solar and storage integration. • Hybrid energy plus compute: Opportunity to pair large footprint data halls with utility scale solar/battery projects on or adjacent to the site, following recent Imperial Valley style AI campus precedents in California. • Phasing: Land size supports modular phasing—initial anchor deployment with subsequent zones reserved for expansion, additional tenants, or power intensive AI/HPC clusters. Zoning and entitlement context • Current characterization: Marketed as recreational/desert land with suitability for solar energy development and low impact uses (off road, camping, desert tourism). • Pathway: Data center and energy related uses to be advanced via standard county and utility processes, with the benefit of very low surrounding density and clear separation from residential neighborhoods.
