A full acre of Virginia City Highlands, ready for your build. This wooded lot sits along paved, maintained Lousetown Road, framed by mature juniper and pine with panoramic views and rock outcroppings typical of the high desert terrain. Gentle sloping with a downward grade toward the rear offers building-site flexibility and layered mountain views with desert, rural, and tree-lined vistas from a quiet, low-traffic stretch of road. Horses and livestock are welcome here, and the lot adjoins both the street and undeveloped acreage for extra breathing room from neighbors. Cellular coverage is available on-site, with a power line sitting right across the road from the property; well and septic will need to be installed. Located in the Comstock foothills with easy access via Geiger Grade, this is a chance to own an acre in one of Northern Nevada's most scenic high-desert communities minutes from historic Virginia City and a straightforward commute to Reno/Sparks. Owner will carry with 10,000 down and a full price offer. Call agent for details. All information deemed reliable but not guaranteed, buyer and buyer's agent to verify all details in the MLS.
The E estates zone is established for areas particularly suited for low density residential use, to further enhance the quality of life for residents, to prohibit the development of uses which are incompatible and detrimental to a rural residential environment, and to allow for the keeping of a limited number of large domestic animals for non-commercial purposes.
