Why Vacant Land With Utilities & MID Water Rights Is One of Merced County’s Best Investments in 2025
If you’ve been looking for the perfect place to build your dream home, start a small ranch, or invest in land with real long-term value, properties with existing utilities and MID water rights are becoming some of the most sought-after opportunities in Merced County.
And right now, there’s a standout lot that offers something incredibly rare: a fully ready-to-build property with water, power, septic, propane, and RV hookups already in place — plus MID water rights.
Before we highlight the lot, here’s why buyers are jumping on land like this…
💧
1. MID Water Rights = Year-Round Value
In Merced County, MID rights are gold. They allow property owners access to affordable irrigation water, which is perfect for:
- Future crops
- Pastureland
- Fruit trees
- Gardens
- Landscaping
- Small livestock setups
Lots WITHOUT MID rights typically sell for less and cost more long term. Having MID rights is a major advantage that adds real equity to the land.

2. Full Utilities Already Installed (Massive Savings)
Most vacant lots require tens of thousands of dollars in prep work.
This one already has:
- A functioning well
- A septic system
- 150-gallon propane tank
- PG&E electricity at the property
- 50-amp RV breaker
- RV parking and hookups
- Two entry gates
For a buyer, this means:
✔ Immediate use
✔ Faster permits
✔ Lower build costs
✔ Perfect temporary setup while building
Whether you want a ranch, a home, or a long-term investment, these utilities make this land far more valuable than raw acreage.

- Bring animals
- Start a small farm
- Park an RV or tiny home
- Begin construction right away
- Create a peaceful country retreat
- Or hold it as a long-term appreciating asset
In Merced County, properties with a “ready-to-go” setup don’t last long because they save months of planning and thousands in infrastructure work.
