LOCATION & SIZE

The subject property is a .47 acre corner lot (20,400 square feet, 47% of 1 acre) located where Aurora meets Roy in the Country View Estates subdivision. This small subdivision is zoned for residential use and sits just east of Highway 160, the main four lane divided highway which travels through Pahrump and connects it to nearby Las Vegas.

LEGAL INFORMATION

When we speak of property we typically use an address — 123 Main Street for instance.

As most vacant land does not have a physical address, however, county governments will identify it in other ways, such as a “legal description”, a parcel number or a tax code. The information provided in the table above are the ways in which the various state and county agencies will identify this specific parcel of land. These signifiers are important to have when speaking with these agencies – whether they be the assessor, the zoning office, or even the local utilities – and may prove invaluable when initiating conversations about whatever research a buyer intends to do.

Whenever one exists or has been assigned to the land, the physical address will be included in this table.

ACCESS & UTILITIES

Roads & Utilities: The subject property boasts gravel road access with underground telecom boxes at the lot line and residential power lines servicing nearby developed home sites only 300 feet away. Additionally, it is in an area serviced by city water and city sewer lines which means anyone building here will not incur the expense of drilling a well.

Physical Address: Unlike most of the vacant land we list, this property actually has a formal address of 5721 N. Aurora Avenue. This should make it easier for anyone looking to scout the land prior to purchase.

ZONING & RESTRICTIONS

Zoning: This property is zoned VR-20 (Village Residential 20) which means it’s designed for “moderate density residential use.” Or as the zoning ordinance states, it is zoned for “single family residential development, and to preclude incompatible uses.” This means that while this property may be ideal for a house or mobile home with cement foundation, it could not be used for RV living or camping. To learn more about the VR-20 Zoning Designation, click here to read an excerpt from the county zoning ordinance.

No HOA: Despite being located in a developing neighborhood, there is currently no HOA governing land ownership here. This means that beyond county zoning and taxes there are no additional rules to conform to or dues to pay.

RVs & Building Permits: It should be noted that while this property is not zoned for RV usage, anyone building on the lot can apply for a Temporary Use Permit to live on the land in their RV while the permanent structure is being built.

HELPFUL LINKS

The Hemingway Land Company does our best to represent the properties we list as accurately as possible. Our research, however, will always be limited.

Because of this, included in the table to the right is a list of the relevant state and county governments, agencies and authorities as well as local utilities (and all their respective websites and contact information) which should help to answer any questions a buyer may have about developing this specific property.

Whenever possible it is best to speak with these agencies first as they will always be a far greater source of information about the local region and the regulations which govern it.

MISCELLANEOUS

Subdivision: While the Country View Estates subdivision was created with a number of covenants and restrictions, all of them seem to reference zoning law or building and environmental codes, meaning regulations you’d have to abide by whether you build here or anywhere else in the state. Because of this, the covenants seem largely redundant with zoning law. That said, anyone who would like to familiarize themselves with the CCRs can do so by reading the PDF linked here.

Taxes: Nevada is one of only seven states which do not tax income. This means that moving here will automatically save you money.

NEARBY TOWNS

The Town Of Pahrump: Despite being one of the larger rural communities in Nevada, the town of Pahrump has only about 37,000 residents with most of its homes and industry concentrated close to Highway 160. Because of this, most everything you will need is within a short five to ten minute drive from the subject property. This includes but is not limited to the local Wal Mart, Home Depot, Smith’s and Albertson’s Grocery Stores, elementary, middle and high schools, the Calvada Meadows Airport, the Desert View Hospital, the Pahrump Nugget and the Gold Town Casinos as well as countless bars, churches, parks and restaurants.

Pahrump & Vegas: Speaking of The Strip, it’s worth noting that Pahrump is often times refered to as a “bedroom community” of Las Vegas, with a number of residents commuting back and forth to work every day. As population growth and property values continue to rise in the nearby Vegas Metro Area and as the city expands in every direction to accomodate it, Pahrump not only remains an affordable alternative but one where property values are sure to appreciate as the two towns become closer over the next decade.
