Natural Horse Country
Cuddy Valley's wide-open agricultural land and ranch properties make it a natural fit for horse owners looking for space, freedom, and mountain trail access.
Cuddy Valley sits in the Frazier Mountain area of Kern County, offering some of the most desirable equestrian property in the region. The valley's agricultural zoning allows private horse keeping on many parcels, with room for corrals, pastures, and barns.
Unlike more developed communities, Cuddy Valley retains its rural character with open meadows, ranch land, and a quiet atmosphere that horses and riders both appreciate.
Trail access extends from the valley floor into Los Padres National Forest via Cuddy Valley Road and nearby trailheads. The Mt. Pinos area provides additional riding terrain at higher elevations.
Many Cuddy Valley properties feature agricultural zoning that allows private horse keeping with corrals, barns, and pastures right on your own land — making it one of the most desirable areas for equestrian living.
