Experience serene Nevada living on this beautiful parcel located off Palisades Road in South Reno & Virginia City Highlands (Storey County). This scenic property offers expansive views and a peaceful setting, highlighted by a stunning vantage point of Mt. Rose from the upper building pad. The property features two graded building pads — a larger lower pad and a smaller upper pad — providing multiple options for future development, storage, or recreational use. The land has a gentle slope with minimal rock, making it easier to access and build upon. A gravel driveway has already been installed for convenient entry to the site. Included with the sale is a 20-foot shipping container (purchased new in 2017) that has been painted and cleaned, ideal for secure storage or workspace while developing the property. Access to the parcel is from Palisades Road (via Cartwright Stovepipe Palisades); the property cannot be accessed directly from Bullfrog Road. This is an off-grid property with no well and no utilities currently in place, offering a fantastic opportunity for those seeking privacy, self-sufficiency, or a unique site for a future build. Cash purchase only.
