Beautiful ranchette to call home! 1.42 usable acres on pavement welcome you to this newer home, excellently maintained and move in-ready. Great floor plan features large formal living room, formal dining room with hard wood flooring, great room with fireplace, large sunny kitchen with eating bar, separate laundry room with sink and cabinets, and large bedrooms. There is a lovely back patio with no neighbors out your back yard, and a large covered porch to sit and watch the wild horses roam from. , The property is horse ready with fenced coral, barn, stalls, and a large, wide driveway for your horse trailer, RV, and other toys. Lousetown is the only county maintained road in the Highlands, and the school busses are ready to pick up your kids and take them to the Virginia city schools 15 minutes away. Garage is oversized and has work space/shop room. Home is 40 minutes from Reno airport, less if you're going to mojo quickly! 25 minutes or so to the Summit mall. Easy commute to Reno but so, so far away form it all. Live in Storey County, financially the most growing and likely most prosperous county in NV! Agents please see private remarks.
