This beautiful level lot is located in the Virginia City Highlands and has multiple building sites to choose from. There has been a roughed in road and building pad and the power is close by. It is easily accessible from the main paved road (Cartwright). If you are looking for a lot that is not far off the beaten path this one may be the one you are looking for. The Virginia City Highlands is a rural community that still has wild horses running free, dirt roads, amazing skies and is only 20 minutes to Reno, 15 minutes to Historic Virginia City and 45 minutes to Lake Tahoe. Feel free to drive by and walk this lot, you won't be disappointed!
