These are the five highest-priced home sales reported in the Bakersfield metro area for the week ending October 11, 2026, and together they came to $4.19 million. Four of the homes are in Bakersfield and one is in Tehachapi, all in Kern County, and every one is a single-family home.
The newest of the group were built in 2003 and the oldest in 1990, so this is a week of established homes rather than new construction. They range from a two-story home on a cul-de-sac in Haggin Oaks to a mountain property in Tehachapi.

The two-story home has five bedrooms and four bathrooms, and four of those bedrooms, the primary suite among them, are downstairs. The fifth bedroom, on the upper floor, is set up as a private theater with eight seats, and a separate bonus room sits beside it. The kitchen has poplar cabinetry made to order, quartzite counters, a cooktop made in Italy and a butler’s pantry. There is marble underfoot in the piano room, and five fireplaces run through the home. Even the laundry room was given thought, with an area for pets and a built-in dog wash.
Out back are an in-ground pool and spa with sheer-descent waterfalls, a fire pit and room to entertain. The home is minutes from The Marketplace and the River Walk, and the neighborhood park has tennis and pickleball courts. The property last sold for $475,000 in 2014.
