Kings County, California
We buy land in Hanford (county seat), Lemoore, Corcoran, Avenal, Armona, and Kettleman City. Kings County is flat San Joaquin Valley farmland historically ranked #1 in California cotton production, and today a top producer of tomatoes, milk, pistachios, cherries, and other crops — and also home to Naval Air Station Lemoore.
Cash offer in 24-48 hours. No agents, no fees, no repairs — sell as-is, on your timeline.
Kings County sits on flat, highly fertile San Joaquin Valley ground — an agricultural region built over more than a century on dairy, cotton, and later oil out of the Kettleman Hills. The Tachi Yokuts have lived in this area for thousands of years, and the tribe's Santa Rosa Rancheria remains an important community in the county today.
Buyer demand here is steady: agricultural investors and dairy operators keep the row-crop, orchard, and pasture market active, and interest continues to grow alongside the broader San Joaquin Valley farmland story we cover across PlaceAcre's California coverage.
Real numbers based on comparable San Joaquin Valley sales, soil quality, and water access — not lowball guesses.
No agents, no listing fees, no surprise line items — the offer we make is what you net at closing.
Including working dairies, row-crop ground, orchards, oil-lease-adjacent parcels, and inherited farmland.
Cotton, alfalfa, and rotational row-crop ground across the valley floor.
Working dairies, corrals, feed pads, and adjacent pasture — permits and infrastructure welcome.
Processing-tomato fields, pistachio blocks, and cherry orchards common across Kings County.
Dryland grazing on the county's western edge and irrigated pasture in the valley.
Parcels near Kettleman Hills and other producing zones — active or expired leases considered.
Out-of-state heirs and long-time absentee owners — we handle the paperwork remotely.
County-specific NASS figures for Kings County are not separately published, so parcel valuations here rely on regional benchmarks plus soil, water, and crop-history adjustments. As a regional proxy, the USDA NASS 2025 Land Values Summary reports the Pacific region (California, Oregon, Washington) at an average cropland value of $9,830 per acre and pastureland value of $2,450 per acre. These are regional averages, not parcel-specific appraisals.
Kings County's decades-long identity as one of California's top counties for cotton, dairy, and tomato-processing continues to drive steady demand for agricultural land, especially blocks with good soil, secure water, and proximity to the Highway 41/198 corridor.

California sales typically use a grant deed to transfer title from seller to buyer.
California is an escrow/title-company state, not an attorney state — an independent escrow company handles the closing.
About 30-45 days for a conventional sale, or 7-14 days for a cash sale like ours.
Funds disburse via escrow at recording. The county recorder collects a Documentary Transfer Tax of $1.10 per $1,000 of property value — payer is negotiable under CA law.

"We'd been running the dairy for three generations, and it was time. PlaceAcre gave us a fair number, took the working operation as-is, and closed on our schedule — no realtor merry-go-round."
— Frank D., third-generation dairy family
"I inherited cotton ground outside Corcoran and had no idea what to do with it. They walked me through everything by phone and email and had funds in escrow within two weeks."
— Linda K., inherited cropland owner
Hanford was founded in 1877 as a Southern Pacific Railroad stop, named for railroad official James Madison Hanford; its first census that year counted just 269 residents.
