We believe this property is an excellent short to long-term investment in an area that has all of the conveniences of a larger urban area, but is located in a private, rural setting. This property is located in spectacular Elko County in Northern Nevada. This area offers low property taxes, inexpensive housing, the convenience of nearby towns (Elko, Wells, and Wendover Utah), and an abundance of open space. The high deserts, mountains, canyons, rivers, and forests of Nevada provide for a quality of life virtually unknown to most of the world.

Property values in Nevada have soared in recent years due to migrations of retirees enticed by the pleasant arid climate and the relaxed low-key lifestyle American West. Investors and business entrepreneurs are also relocating to the area due to its friendly business atmosphere, strategic location between several Western States (Utah, Idaho, Oregon, California, and Arizona) and a major continental transportation route (Interstate 80).

Nevada's potential for growth is demonstrated by explosive growth in Reno, Las Vegas, and Twin Falls Idaho. As property values in these areas continue to increase, real estate in Elko County represents excellent investment potential! Private property will soon be beyond the reach of a lot of Americans. As the population of the United States grows and continues to relocate, opportunities in "best kept secret" areas like Elko County will diminish. Niche investment properties in rural areas such as Northern Nevada are growing in value. Please click on this recent article concerning growth in the rural American West. Land is an excellent investment because in the long-term it always increased in value. Due to the instability of the economy are the highly variable housing market raw land represents a solid investment for the future. Raw land requires little management (besides paying minimal property taxes), all you have to do is sit back and wait for your land to appreciate in value. Land is a not an unlimited resource and no "new" land is being created. Land in Elko County fulfills the needs of those looking for a new adventure in living, a prudent investment, and a legacy property to pass on to future generations!

Nevada presents an excellent investment opportunity for many reasons. A strong gambling economy, desirable climate for retirees and relatively cheap land prices make Nevada prime for long-term investments in raw land. The average cost for an acre of raw land in Nevada is among the lowest of all of the United States. Average land prices in Nevada increased 53.8% from 2005 to 2006 compared to a national average of only 15.2%. Only a small percentage of Elko County is privately owned with the remainder owned by the Federal and State governments and Native American Reservations. This leaves a very limited amount of land available for private ownership. Out of the privately owned portion, fewer and fewer places remain where one can enjoy privacy and the amenities that will provide peace of mind and relative freedom. The opportunity for acquiring undeveloped property is diminishing. Many rural areas are surrounded by public lands that restrict potential development leaving only a limited supply of land. Elko County is one such area. As a property owner in this area you can declare your independence from metropolitan chaos and escape to a quiet, secluded, enriched life.

The quality of life in Elko County is best characterized as a friendly small town, with a low crime rate, and a pleasant climate that provides over 300 days of sunshine a year. Summers are milder (due to the relatively higher elevation, average summer temperature 80 degrees) than other desert areas like Phoenix and Las Vegas and winters are mild and pleasant (rarely below 30 degrees). There are breathtaking views in every direction of the open countryside and the numerous mountain ranges encompassed by the Humboldt Toiyabe National Forest which soar thousands of feet into clear blue skies. The region's heritage is diverse including Native Americans, cowboys, miners, sheepherders, settlers, farmers, ranchers, outlaws, and the military. Many cultures have left a mark on this land and continue to thrive here. The county seat is located in Elko (70 miles away). Other nearby communities include Battle Mountain (140 miles away), Winnemucca (190 miles away), Wendover Utah (75 miles away), Twin Falls Idaho (140 miles away), and Reno (355 miles away).
