Wide open northern Nevada land with mountain views and level terrain. With owner financing available and county-maintained road access, this 4.85-acre parcel in Paradise Valley Ranchos is perfect for whatever your dreams might be. It is confirmed buildable by Humboldt County, giving you a clear path forward from day one. At 4,400 feet elevation, the lot offers usable, mostly flat ground with scattered desert vegetation and room to build exactly what you have in mind. AG-5 zoning is one of the most flexible designations in the county; a single-family home, manufactured home (with required concrete foundation), stick-built tiny home, or RV setup with approved well and septic are all permitted uses. Short-term rentals are also allowed, and camping on-site is permitted up to 30 days. No HOA, no POA, no restrictions layering on top of county code. Utilities, plan for off-grid: No utilities are currently connected to the property. A private well will need to be drilled; nearby wells in the area run approximately 140-160 feet deep. A septic system will also need to be installed, which typically requires two perc tests before permit approval. Electricity is not connected, with the nearest power lines sitting roughly 1,700 feet away, extension costs should be considered. Solar is the practical and common choice here, with many neighboring properties already running off-grid systems. Propane is standard for gas needs, and trash is hauled to the county landfill.

Water Canyon Recreation Area, the Humboldt River, and the Black Rock Desert are all within reach.

Building permits are issued at the county level. no city jurisdiction applies here. No flood zone designation per FEMA. Owner financing available.
