Detailed Description

Property Advantages

This 37.34-acre property near Montello, NV is well suited for someone looking to retire off grid and live a more self-reliant lifestyle. One of the biggest advantages is access. The land fronts a county maintained road, which means you can reach your property without worrying about private road disputes or seasonal access issues. Power is already available at the street, reducing one of the most common obstacles off-grid buyers face.

The Open Space zoning allows a single-family residence, agricultural use, livestock, barns, workshops, and outbuildings. Mobile homes and manufactured homes are allowed when utilities are in place, making this a practical option for someone who wants to start with a simple setup and expand over time. RV use and camping are permitted while you plan and develop, allowing you to spend time on the land before committing to full construction.

City is approximately two and a half hours away and offers major hospitals, airports, and large retailers.

For someone who enjoys the outdoors, this area offers space to hunt, fish, garden, and live off the land rather than treating it as a weekend hobby. Nearby attractions like the Sun Tunnels, BlazingStar Wilderness Area, Danger Cave State Park, and the Bonneville Salt Flats provide endless opportunities for exploration and solitude.
