233 Acres of Northern Nevada Mountain Country | Year-Round Creek | Incredible Privacy. Some properties are purchased. Others are discovered. Welcome to 233.17 acres of unspoiled Northern Nevada mountain country where the only sounds you'll hear are the wind through the junipers, flowing water, and the wildlife that call this landscape home. If you've been searching for true privacy, you've found it. The property stretches across rolling hills and rugged mountain terrain, climbing to elevated building sites that appear to offer spectacular western sunsets and panoramic views across the surrounding valleys. A picturesque year-round creek winds through a portion of the property, adding both beauty and character rarely found on parcels of this size. Whether your vision is an off-grid homestead, a private family retreat, recreational getaway, or long-term land investment, this property offers the space and freedom to create something truly unique. Wildlife is abundant throughout the area with deer and quail commonly seen on and around the property. The surrounding landscape provides the kind of peace and solitude that has become increasingly difficult to find within reasonable proximity to Reno. County Planning has indicated the existing zoning may allow future subdivision opportunities, subject to buyer verification, County approval, and all applicable development requirements. Access is via dirt roads. A high-clearance vehicle is recommended during normal conditions, with four-wheel drive advised during wet or snowy weather. Utilities are not currently installed, providing the next owner the flexibility to design an independent off-grid lifestyle or pursue future utility connections as development in the area continues. If you've been looking for more than just land—if you've been looking for a place where you can truly disconnect, build your vision, and own a remarkable piece of Northern Nevada—this property deserves your attention.

GRA
General Rural Agricultural
The General Rural Agricultural (GRA) Regulatory Zone is intended to preserve areas where large lot residential uses, open space, agricultural and grazing uses predominate. Mining, natural resource extraction, and other similar uses are not allowed in the GRA Regulatory Zone to avoid incompatibility with the desired large lot rural, agricultural character. Single-family dwellings and associated accessory uses located on lots forty (40) acres in size or larger, with limited public services and facilities, is the desired land use pattern in the GRA Regulatory Zone. The maximum number of primary dwelling units that may be located in the GRA Regulatory Zone is 1 unit per 40 acres. The minimum lot area in the GRA Regulatory Zone is 40 acres.
