2.27 Acres in Elko County, Nevada
A Private High-Desert Base for Self-Reliance and Long-Term Preparedness
There is a difference between worrying about the future and preparing for it.
Preparation is calm. It is deliberate. It is strategic.
And for many people, it begins with land - not land in a crowded subdivision, not land tied to restrictive oversight, but land that you control completely.
This 2.27-Acre parcel in Elko County, Nevada offers something increasingly difficult to secure: isolation without complication. Located in Sunland Acres Unit No. 4 (Apn ), the property sits at approximately 5,500 feet in elevation in Nevada's high desert, far from dense population centers yet still reachable by major routes when needed.
If your goal is to establish a contingency location, a quiet retreat, or simply a piece of ground that exists outside of suburban sprawl, this property deserves serious consideration.
The parcel is accessed by right-of-way via a private dirt tract east of the property. There is no public road frontage. That detail matters. It means there is no routine traffic, no through-street activity, and no reason for casual visitors to pass by. Anyone who comes to this area does so intentionally.
In preparedness planning, access and visibility matter. This property offers limited exposure by design.
The terrain is gently sloped desert, ranging from approximately 5,508 to 5,529 feet in elevation. That slight elevation variation provides natural drainage and long sightlines across the surrounding basin. From the property, you can see the landscape stretching outward toward distant mountain ranges - wide, open views that allow you to understand your surroundings clearly.
At this elevation, the air is dry and clean. The desert climate brings warm summers, cold winters, and low humidity. Vegetation is sparse but present, typical of the Great Basin region. The environment does not conceal large crowds. It does not invite heavy development. It simply exists - steady and open.
Elko County itself is one of the largest and least densely populated counties in Nevada. Population centers such as Wells, West Wendover, and Elko are accessible via US Highway 80 and Route 233, yet they remain far enough away that daily life does not spill outward into this area. You can reach supplies when necessary, but you are not surrounded by constant expansion.
For contingency-minded buyers, that balance is essential.
Equally important is what the property does not have.
There is no HOA.
There are no association dues.
There are no architectural control committees.
There are no mandatory utility hookups.
Ownership here is simple. Annual property taxes are approximately $28.90 per year - low enough that holding the land long-term does not become a financial burden. There are no back taxes owed and no liens recorded. The deed transferred by Grant, Bargain and Sale Deed in October 2023, ensuring a clean public record trail through Elko County.
Low carrying costs are often overlooked in preparedness planning. Yet the ability to hold land for years without financial strain is what allows a contingency location to remain viable. This parcel provides that advantage.
Utilities are not installed on site, which for many preparedness-focused buyers is not a disadvantage but an opportunity. Off-grid systems - solar arrays, battery storage, water hauling, cisterns, propane setups - are common throughout rural Nevada. The absence of preexisting infrastructure allows you to design systems according to your own priorities rather than inheriting someone else's layout.
Because the property is raw land, you are not purchasing a structure that may deteriorate or require constant maintenance. You are purchasing ground - stable, durable, and adaptable.
Many people who think seriously about preparedness are not motivated by fear. They are motivated by independence. They want options. They want a secondary location. They want a place where they can step away from crowded systems if necessary.
This parcel supports that mindset.
At 2.27 acres, it offers enough room to create distance between improvements, store equipment discreetly, or establish a seasonal base camp without feeling confined. It is large enough to matter, but manageable enough to maintain.
The surrounding region also provides quiet geographic advantages. The Great Basin landscape is expansive and open, with wide natural buffers between properties. Development pressure is minimal compared to metropolitan outskirts. Land parcels in subdivisions like Sunland Acres remain rural in character and practical in scale.
Nearby points of interest - such as the Sun Tunnels installation, Danger Cave State Park Heritage Area, and the Historic Wendover Airfield Museum - reflect the historical depth and open character of the region. These are not densely trafficked urban destinations. They are quiet reminders that this land has long been valued for its remoteness.
For preparedness buyers, location matters. Nevada remains a state with strong property rights traditions and generally favorable tax structures. Elko County offices - including the Assessor, Recorder, Treasurer, and Planning & Zoning departments - are accessible for verification of zoning, usage allowances, and building considerations. Due diligence is straightforward and transparent.
The parcel's center coordinates are approximately 41.212097, -114.296082. Prospective buyers are encouraged to review mapping tools, confirm access routes, and contact county officials directly regarding any specific development plans. Responsible preparation always includes verification.
What this property offers is not instant readiness. It offers a foundation.
You would not be buying a finished retreat. You would be securing a location - a fixed point on the map that you control. In uncertain times, control over even a small piece of ground provides clarity. It is something that cannot be digitally erased or policy-shifted away overnight.
Ownership is made accessible through straightforward terms. The price is $7,200 with owner financing available. A $150 down payment and $150 per month for 48 months allow buyers to secure the property without traditional bank involvement. There are no credit checks and no lengthy approval processes. A one-time $249 document fee covers preparation and recording costs.
For contingency buyers who prioritize discretion and simplicity, avoiding conventional lending channels can be an advantage. The process is direct and transparent.
It is important to state clearly: this is raw high-desert land. Roads are dirt. Weather conditions vary seasonally. There are no existing buildings. Any improvements would require independent planning and verification with the county. This property is best suited for buyers who understand rural environments and appreciate the realities of desert terrain.
But for those who do, it offers something solid.
A location outside the rush.
A parcel without oversight layers.
A long-term hold with minimal annual expense.
A private ground position in Nevada's open basin country.
Preparedness is not about expecting the worst. It is about ensuring that you have options if conditions change. Land like this creates options quietly. It does not draw attention. It does not demand constant input. It simply waits.
In the high desert of Elko County, 2.27 acres may not seem dramatic on paper. But when you stand in open space at 5,500 feet, with uninterrupted horizon and no visible crowding, the value becomes clear.
You are not buying hype.
You are not buying urgency.
You are buying position.
If securing a private base location in Nevada has been part of your long-term strategy, this parcel aligns with that goal. Conduct your due diligence. Review the maps. Contact the county offices. Confirm the details that matter to you.
And if it fits your plan, move forward with confidence.
Because preparedness begins with ground you control - and opportunities like this remain straightforward, affordable, and increasingly uncommon.
