Here’s the problem with most cheap land in Nevada: it’s cheap because it’s in the middle of nowhere. Great for getting away, not so great when you forget the coffee, run low on gas, or just want a hot meal.
This lot is different.
Tucked into the foothills on the south side of Elko, this 1.03-acre parcel gives you juniper-dotted hills, mountain views, and real quiet. And it’s still close enough to run into town for groceries, gas, or dinner and be back before the fire burns down.
The Best of Both Worlds
The property is about 8.6 miles (roughly 19 minutes) from downtown Elko, one of the biggest towns in northeast Nevada. That means stores, restaurants, hardware, and fuel are all an easy drive away.
Coming from Utah? It’s about 3.5 hours from Salt Lake City, straight out I-80.
Why You’ll Love It
Foothill views. At about 5,580 feet elevation, the lot sits among rolling, juniper-covered hills with mountains on the horizon.
Close to a real town. Off-grid feel, in-town convenience.
Road access. You reach the lot by dirt road off Bitterroot Street in the Meadow Valley Ranchos subdivision.
Remarkably low taxes. Annual property taxes are about $11. Not a typo.
Clean record. A title search found no mortgages, liens, or judgments, and taxes are current.
A Basecamp for Adventure
Elko County is packed with outdoor country, and this lot puts you right on the doorstep:
ATV and dirt bike riding on the backroads of northeast Nevada
Hunting and fishing trips into the surrounding mountains and valleys
Weekend camping close enough to town to make it easy
A long-term hold near a growing town
What You Can Do With It
The lot is zoned Agricultural Residential (AR), which gives you flexibility for recreational use now and a homesite later. Uses like camping, RVs, tiny homes, and permanent homes are subject to Elko County rules, so it’s always smart to confirm your plans with the county Planning Department at (775) 738-6816.
Streetview from nearby road. Not actual property.
Off-Grid Basics
There are no utilities on the property today. Plan on:
Power: solar or a generator (ask the local utility about nearby service, since the lot is close to town)
Water: hauled water and a storage tank, or a well
Sewer: a septic system for longer stays
Easy, Affordable Terms
Cash price: $6,497
Owner financing: $149 down and $149 a month
