More About Casa Loma
Casa Loma is a small unincorporated community in the southern San Joaquin Valley, surrounded by Kern County farmland and framed by mountains on the horizon. Here's what makes the area special:
- Valley farm country. Kern County is one of the top agricultural counties in the nation, and the fields around Casa Loma grow crops like grapes, citrus and almonds, with big open skies and quiet country roads.
- Mountain views. On clear days the Tehachapi Mountains and the southern Sierra Nevada frame the horizon, and spring brings green foothills and sunsets worth pulling over for.
- Bakersfield's Country Sound. The county seat is the home of the Bakersfield Sound, and Buck Owens' Crystal Palace is the place to catch live country music and dinner on a night out.
- The Tehachapi Loop. A day trip into the mountains brings you to this famous railroad spiral, where long freight trains cross over their own tracks as they climb the pass.
