20 acres for sale, north east Nevada

Nov 12, 2019 18:25:41

Photos from 20 acres of land where I was doing desert permaculture and water-retention projects. I have retired from working on this project. Wanted to free up time to do more traveling to teach at seed conferences.

It is located near Montello, Nevada. It is 8 miles (driving) from a paved road. It's in the railroad land grant area, so there is lots of BLM land in close proximity (every other square mile).

Amenities include:
checkdams
gabion
hugel
swales
travel trailer
bird boxes
road through property
Junipers
Pinion pines
pads for mounting windmill
anti-fire pruning
wildflower mecca

Water is rain, snow, and flash flood only. Some water collects in the pond, and catch basin under the trailer. Some of my neighbors haul water from Montello. I think that the state requires municipal water systems to provide water to people that need it. The closest power lines are 8 miles away.

I'd love to trade for a house, but a house is worth much more than desert land.

For pricing, chat with my realtor. I don't have any idea what market value is.

As for water in Nevada, you should be able to drill a well without any hassles,

Is a permit required to drill a domestic well within the State of Nevada? No. Domestic wells are the only type of water well exempt from the State Engineer's permitting process (Nevada Revised Statutes 534.080 and 534.180). ... Multiple dwellings are considered a quasi-municipal use and thus, require a permit.

Water Rights, Well Drilling and Dam Safety in Nevada

It's a huge plus in my book for Nevada land. I've read that such wells are limited to 1800 gallons PER DAY! before you need to get additional permission, ie irrigating acres. I think the only other limit is if city or rural water is available you have to connect to that.
