Rare East Walker River frontage on nearly 75 acres in beautiful rural Yerington, Nevada. This partially developed 74-acre parcel offers an exceptional opportunity to own a private riverfront retreat with the East Walker River winding through the property, mature trees, mountain and valley views, and stunning views toward Mt. Grant. Bordered on two sides by BLM land and on the other two sides by Nevada State Recreation Area land, this property offers unmatched privacy and direct access to wide-open public lands. Enjoy endless recreational possibilities including fishing, horseback riding, ATV/UTV riding, motorcycles, cycling, camping, shooting, wildlife viewing, or simply relaxing in a peaceful high-desert setting. Golden eagles, open skies, riverfront scenery, and true Nevada solitude make this a property unlike any other.
