Approximately 158 acres of prime land located along the highly desirable E. Clark Avenue corridor in the Orcutt area of Santa Maria, positioned adjacent to a well-known Central Coast winery and within close proximity to planned hospitality and cultural developments. The property features a combination of usable and elevated terrain offering panoramic valley and coastal views. With its size, location, and accessibility, the property presents a range of potential uses including equestrian facilities, vineyard estate, resort/hospitality concepts, private compound, or future residential development (buyer to verify with county). Improvements include established access roads and on-site water resources. Large, contiguous parcels of this scale in a high-growth corridor are increasingly rare, offering a unique opportunity for investors, developers, or end users seeking long-term potential in California’s Central Coast.
Major Price Reduction! SUMMARY This property offers a developer the chance to acquire a well-defined project with significant, pre-negotiated fee waivers and a resolved airport land use conflict. While it requires re-entitlement, the extensive project history and existing agreements provide a clear and de-risked roadmap for bringing 32 new homes to the attractive Orcutt market. KEY FINANCIAL ADVANTAGES & REDUCED FEES • No School Fees for OUSD: A recorded settlement agreement with the Orcutt Union School District means a future developer will not have to pay school impact fees to the OUSD. This represents a considerable savings, as the current OUSD residential development fee is $3.69 per square foot as of June 2024, a potential savings of $160,000. • No Quimby/Park Fees: A settlement with Santa Barbara County states that Quimby/Park fees, currently $5,344 per single-family dwelling, will not be required as the map has already been recorded. This amounts to a potential savings of over $171,000. • No Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fees: The same settlement agreement with the county determined that no affordable housing mitigation would be required for the project, representing another significant potential cost reduction. • HOA Agreement in Place: A mediated settlement with the Northpoint Homeowner's Association (HOA) clarifies that this phase is not required to join the existing HOA but will contribute to shared road and drainage basin maintenance. This agreement provides a clear framework for managing shared infrastructure costs and mitigates potential disputes with the existing association. DEVELOPMENT & ENTITLEMENT STATUS • Expired but Clear Path Forward: While the previous Development Plan for the 32 units expired in 2018, the path to re-entitle the project is straightforward. The buyer will need to undergo a new Development Plan application consistent with the prior approvals. • Favorable Airport Safety Zone Update: A 2023 revision to the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) has removed a "no build corridor" that previously conflicted with 15 of the lots, eliminating a significant past obstacle to development. Streamlining Potential: The site may qualify for the permit streamlining provisions of SB 35, as it is in an urban area with 75% of its perimeter already developed.
This stunning east facing sloped property is perfect for the ultimate rural get away. There are multiple access points along Tepusquet Rd. There is 1 permitted well on the property. The existing water well was recently tested at 14 GPM with 2500 gallons water storage. The well pump needs a generator or solar to operate. This very private parcel has been fully surveyed. there is PG&E power along one edge of the property adjacent to Tepusquet Rd. The property may be splittable so I recommend checking with the county. The permit for the mail box was issued in 1989.
