I-40 and Historic Route 66
Essex, CA 92332

211 Acres on I-40/Route 66 (Mountain Springs Road) – Prime Development Opportunity | $3.5M | Mountain Springs Oasis 

WEBSITE: www.MountainSpringsOasis.com 

Let me introduce a rare, almost shovel-ready development opportunity at the intersection of two historic and high-traffic corridors: Mountain Springs Oasis, a 211-acre property spanning all four corners of the I-40 and Route 66 interchange in San Bernardino County, CA.

Offered at $3.5 million, this site is unmatched in location, scale, and readiness. It includes zoning, infrastructure, environmental and feasibility studies, a phased development plan, and a new commercial well drilled in February 2025.

?? Why This Site Matters — And Why Now
?? Location & Access

All four corners of I-40/Route 66 interchange

20+ miles of visibility in both directions

No major truck stops for 85 miles west (Barstow) or 20 miles east (Needles)

??? Infrastructure Momentum

Caltrans & County investing $50M+ in road, bridge, and Route 66 improvements across the region through 2026

Newly drilled commercial well (640 ft deep, 10–15 GPM), sitting atop the Fenner Basin Aquifer

Power already installed (2014)

Clean title and shovel-ready with full documentation

?? BNSF Barstow International Gateway (BIG) – Now $4 Billion and Growing
Just west of Barstow, BNSF has more than doubled its investment from $1.5B to $4B, acquiring nearly 4,800± acres and already spending $75M on land. According to BNSF and city officials:

Full EIR & application submittal expected late 2025, approval by mid-2026

A 3-year construction schedule will engage 3,500± workers

8,000± direct jobs at the Barstow BIG site, with 22,000± total new jobs across BNSF’s system

This gateway project will transform the region into a logistics and employment powerhouse—fueling massive demand for housing, services, fuel stations, and rest stops, all of which Mountain Springs Oasis is poised to support.
