Sprawling Ranch Land With Commercial Potential Picturesque And Private

The subject property is a three acre lot located along Quarterhorse Drive in a rural residential region just south of Interstate 80 outside Golconda. The property is also within a quick fifteen minute drive of the county seat of Winnemucca.

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 to the right 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.

Roads & Access: The subject property is located along Quarterhorse Drive, a well-maintained dirt/gravel road. Additionally, all the roads which lead from the Interstate to the property are well-maintained and trafficked often by other neighboring home owners in the region. Because of this, accessing the property should be easily managed in any vehicle type.

Power & Utilities: While there are a few developed home sites in this region, residential power lines are not present here. Because of this, anyone looking to develop the subject property is encouraged to investigate alternative sources of energy such as solar. Anyone looking to investigate the cost and logistics of getting connected to the grid is encouraged to contact Nevada Energy, the utility company servicing this region.

No HOA: The subject property is located in a region that is not part of a formal subdivision and hence, has no HOA. Because of this there are no annual dues associated with land ownership here. In addition, there are no time limits on building, no covenants and no restrictions governing the land in this region which should provide potential buyers with even greater freedom and independence to develop the property however they please.

Zoning: While the subject property may be without subdivision restrictions, Humboldt County is not without formal zoning. This particular region is zoned M-3 Open Land Use District, a designation which allows for everything from single family residences and mobile homes to agricultural and livestock activities, including farms and ranches. In addition, there are a number of other conditional uses permitted in this region including gun clubs, dude ranches, golf courses and driving ranges, race tracks and "other commercial uses." This of course expands the property's potential as more than merely residential land. Anyone looking to familiarize themselves with the M-3 Open Land Use District zoning ordinance is encouraged to read this PDF which is an excerpt from the County Zoning Ordinance.

RV Usage: Per the Humboldt County Zoning Office, RVs may be used for 30 days at a time in this region and longer with a building permit. For exact permitting requirements, buyers are encouraged to contact the Humboldt County Zoning Office directly.

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.  

As noted, the subject property is located fifteen miles east of the county seat of Winneumucca. Boasting a population of a little under 8,000, this quaint western town is home to a number of amenities including big box stores such as Walmart and Ace Hardware as well as fast food restaurants, casinos, stores and bars. In addition, this town is also home to a number of government services, schools, parks and churches, which should be a benefit for anyone looking to raise a family here.

Nearby Attractions: Despite its relatively rural setting, those buying land here will find a surprising amount to do in Northern Nevada. In addition to the town of Winnemucca, there's also the Rye Patch State Recreation Area, just down the highway outside of Lovelock, the Blackrock Desert Conservation Area, home to the annual Burning Man events, Lahontan State Recreation Area just outside of Fallon and Pyramid Lake just north of Fernley. In addition, the Reno/Tahoe Metro Area, home to plenty of resorts, casinos and world-class skiing is only two and a half hours west of the subject property and may prove an excellent resource for weekend getaways.
