REAL ESTATE

Cuddy Valley is home to approximately 150 residents. Properties range in size from 5 acres to 20-plus acre parcels with properties over 50 acres occasionally appearing on the market.

Existing homes in Cuddy Valley are custom built and range in size from 2-3 bedroom residences to expansive log and timber frame homes. Properties located along the south side of the Valley border the National Forest. Cuddy Valley is part of the unincorporated area of Kern County.

The surrounding Los Padres National Forest offers Cuddy Valley residents protection from future development. The minimum subdivision on remaining undeveloped land is 20 acres without county and public approval and there is no commercial or industrial zoning in the valley that could threaten the environment or landscape. The entire Valley is zoned for horses, agriculture, and livestock.

If you have horses, you'll appreciate owning property with immediate access to millions of acres of unspoiled Los Padres National Forest. You'll never have to worry about the threat of future development encroaching on the places you love to ride. You can saddle up anytime and head off exploring the scenic Los Padres National Forest on endless trails through some of the most beautiful terrain in California.

The main road in Cuddy Valley is paved and maintained by Kern County while the majority of residential roads in the Valley are graded and graveled. The main private road leading into the eastern portion of the Valley is paved and maintained by residents. There are no home owner association fees or formal covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs). Electricity and telephone service is provided underground to each parcel from one main utility line that runs through the center of the valley. The underground utility restriction was set in place when Cuddy Valley was originally subdivided into residential parcels to avoid obstruction of the scenic views.

Cuddy Valley offers residents many advantages including water rights. Each property owner has the right to drill for water or own a share in a predrilled well with other property owners. The water in the Valley flows through artesian sand spring basins in the north part of the region and into underground aquifers. You'll enjoy fresh spring water straight from the source without a monthly water bill, concern about industrial and pharmaceutical contaminants, or usage restrictions.

Cuddy Valley is truly a place where people and nature come together to create a residential setting unlike any other in Southern California. It's not what has been built here, but rather what hasn't. If you're looking for an exceptional mountain ranch property in an alpine community that appreciates the value and beauty of the natural environment, you owe it to yourself to experience this truly unique place to live.

CUDDY VALLEY MAP

HISTORY

CHUMASH INDIANS • The Spanish • John Cuddy

Chumash Indians

The Chumash called today's Cuddy Valley the "Valley of the Antaps" (Valley of the Shaman). It was an area of great spiritual significance. The Shaman would make an annual sojourn to the valley to perform rituals.

Their purpose was to bring sacred powers down from the Upper World along a spiritual pathway to the Middle World, as it was felt that the two worlds were very close there.

The Shaman would draw strength from the two sacred mountains at each end of the valley, Iwihinmu (Mt. Pinos) and Toshololo (Frazier Mountain) – the highest points in the Chumash lands. They considered this area the center of their universe.

The Spanish

The Spanish used an inland trail that passed through Cuddy Valley. El Camino Viejo connected Los Angeles with the early Spanish capital of Monterey.

What started as wild animal trails developed into a link between the Spanish missions in California.

John Cuddy

John Cuddy, for whom Cuddy Valley is named, came to the United States from Ireland during the Great Potato Famine. He joined the military and after he was discharged in 1853, followed his unit to Fort Tejon as a civilian teamster.

John soon became the chief herder for the fort and found a lush green meadow some 12 miles from the fort that was best for grazing. It was here that he built the log cabin which still stands today.

The Cuddy family continued their long tradition of raising cattle for many years. The Cuddy family homestead barn can still be seen along Lockwood Valley Road at the eastern side of Cuddy Valley.
