Stop settling for cookie-cutter. This rare 3.09-acre Virginia City Highlands property gives you the space, privacy, and freedom that's getting harder and harder to find. 2 parcels have been combined to create one incredible opportunity with room to build your dream home, a shop, RV garage, horse setup, guest house, or simply enjoy wide-open Northern Nevada living. The hard work is already underway with a well installed and a graded building site in place. Gentle rolling terrain, mountain views, mature trees, and power nearby make this potentially one of the most buildable opportunities currently available in the Highlands. Located just 20-25 minutes from South Reno, you'll enjoy the peace and quiet of country living without feeling disconnected from everyday conveniences. As an added bonus, the combined parcels allow for the potential to build two homes, creating flexibility for multi-generational living, guest accommodations, or future investment opportunities. Horses are welcome. Come walk the property and see why so many people are trading crowded neighborhoods for space, views, and a lifestyle that feels like Nevada. Sale also includes APN: 003-161-59 (21730 Clemens).
