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 Douglas County in Western Nevada. This area offers low property taxes, inexpensive housing, the convenience of nearby towns (Gardnerville, South Lake Tahoe, Carson City and Reno) 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 and Las Vegas. As property values in these areas continue to increase, real estate in Douglas County represents excellent investment potential! Private property will soon be beyond the reach of a lot of Americans.

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.

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 Douglas 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. Douglas 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.
