Pahrump

Only where indicated on the spreadsheet. If we have two or more properties that are next to one another we will always sell them that way as they are inherently and exponentially more valuable than if sold separately. 

No. If they were adjacent we’d combine them into one listing.

No. If you look at the spreadsheet we have linked on this page you’ll see the Legal Descriptions of the properties. These are written logically. Unit 1, Block 1, Lot A would be adjacent to Unit 1, Block 1, Lot B. So on and so forth. If you’re looking at two properties wondering if they’re adjacent - or even close by - simply review the legal descriptions or hyperlinked GPS coordinates.

No. The Calvada Valley subdivisions were broken up over many years ago into lots ranging in size from a tenth of an acre to a third of an acre and a few larger lots occupying corners and cul de sacs. There is nothing larger, and the only way to get something larger is to purchase adjacent lots. 

Highly unlikely. That much adjacent acreage in this region is the rural land equivalent of a unicorn. But if it’s that important to you we’d encourage you to subscribe to our weekly newsletter or YouTube channel. New properties debut on our site every Friday and are announced in those platforms first. By subscribing to either you’ll be among the first to know should we ever have a listing like that.

No. That’s what the website, the email blast and the YouTube channel are for. 

The Las Vegas Strip is a roughly one hour drive time from Pahrump. Summerlin (western Vegas), however, is only forty minutes away. Summerlin is the Vegas suburbs and is home to a great deal of restaurants, shopping and recreation activities.

Yes.

Very good, as all of these lots sit in developed areas made to encourage and accommodate future development. Many of the roads are paved and the few that aren’t usually consist of well maintained gravel, which likely means they’ll be paved in the near future. Either way, every property we’re listing will be easily accessible by any vehicle type.

To see the road conditions of a specific property, please review the photo gallery at the bottom of that property’s individual listing page.

Each lot is different and the best way to know which ones have power, underground telecom lines, water and sewer lines is to review their individual listing pages. Some have one or more, some have all, some are close to the nearest available utilities and some are on roads earmarked for future development where service is merely scheduled to be offered.

The major thing we want our buyers to understand is that unlike a lot of properties we list, all of these lots are in a residential area serviced by city utilities in a town that encourages development. This means that all of these utilities can be brought to an individual parcel, though some may cost more than others.

As with a lot of things, buyers are encouraged to do their own due diligence and speak with local utility companies about the availability of service or the cost in getting a certain service extended to a specific lot.

Yes. That said, the covenants and restrictions that exist in these regions are not the type you find with Home Owners Associations - dictating for instance how tall a fence can be, or the maximum square footage of a tool shed. Rather, these covenants defer greatly to state building and environmental codes. In other words, rules you’d have to follow anyway.

To see the covenants and restrictions that govern a particular property, please visit that property’s individual listing page where we link to that subdivision’s specific CCRs. If you know which subdivision the property you’re interested in is located, you may also review their respective CCRs here…

Most of the lots in this region are zoned either VR-8 (Village Residential 8) or VR-10 (Village Residential 10) or VR-20 (Village Residential 20). To learn how a specific property is zoned, please visit the individual listing page.

When it comes to zoning, it’s important to keep in mind that Pahrump is a “small government” conservative western town which favors less regulation, not more. That said, Pahrump is also a developing residential community with an interest in seeing property values rise or remain stable. If your goal is to build a single family residence or live out of a mobile or modular home, you’ll likely get little resistance. If your plans are less conventional than that, it’s best to check with city government as to the viability of those plans and the costs of permitting.

It should be noted, however, that sometimes the easiest thing to do is just look at what the neighbors in that region are doing, how they live and what types of structures are on their land. This will usually give you the best indication of what is permitted and not permitted in a given region (or rather, what you can get away with).

Yes, but only with a building permit and only while building a permanent structure on the land.

Please keep in mind, these are not “recreational” lots - the type you might camp or RV on - but rather residential ones, best for residential and/or investment purposes.

Yes. Please do. We encourage anyone who’s going to buy from us to view the land they’re interested in prior to purchase.

No. We’re investors, not realtors. Additionally, unlike realtors we have no office in Pahrump nor staff on standby waiting to give people guided tours.

It’s easy. Each of these properties has a physical address you can input into any smart phone or GPS. Those addresses can be found both on the above-linked spreadsheet as well as on the property’s specific listing page.

No.

It should be noted, however, that occasionally a rogue realtor or ‘for sale’ sign shows up on or close to one of our lots. Hemingway Land, however, is not affiliated with any realtors, nor are any of our Pahrump properties represented by realtors.

Not recently and not by us, no.

This entire region was platted out years ago. Stakes or pins may have been used to mark property boundaries but it’s questionable whether they still exist or can be found. While they may be there, we’re not making that guarantee to our buyers.

The street addresses and GPS coordinates we give you to locate the lots are fairly accurate and should get you to a location that will give you an excellent sense of precisely what chunk of land it is that you’d be buying. For a specific sense of where the lot begins and ends, it is ultimately best to hire a local surveyor.

Three reasons:

1 - For our purposes of creating listings, we have software that tells us everything we need to know about the property’s size, shape and location.

2 - We never know if our end buyer will want or require a survey.

3 - If the survey costs us $1,000 we’re simply going to goose the price of the land $2,000. Hence, it’s ultimately cheaper for the buyer to pay for the survey themselves.

Yes. Every property has a plat map in the gallery at the bottom of its listing page. Additionally, plat maps for each lot are linked in the master spreadsheet.

Simply click the ‘Buy Now’ button at the top of the listing page of the property that interests you most. This is the blue/turquoise square with the price and the words ‘Buy Now’ written on it. We also have ‘Buy Now’ links in the spreadsheet. Simply find the property that interests you and then navigate over to the Q and R columns of the sheet. ‘Buy Now’ buttons are also linked there.

It should be noted that we offer two options on each listing page: a cash option and a financing option. The cash option only requires a $500.00 Non-Refundable Earnest Money Deposit. We do this because we do not anticipate the average buyer can charge multiple thousands of dollars on their credit/debit card in one transaction.

Please Note: If you elect to purchase for cash, we will expect you to pay the remaining balance within a timely manner (a few days, say). Please do not utilize this option if you don’t have the money or the intention of completing the transaction. It will be a waste of our time and your money.

That’s fine. For anyone interested in funding their purchase through a title company simply use the Cash ‘Buy Now’ button to make the aforementioned Non-Refundable Earnest Money Deposit of $500.00. After we have your deposit, we will draft a sale/purchase agreement that both parties (buyer and seller) will sign. Upon collecting your signature, we’ll submit the contract to the title company and let them do the rest.

To learn more about this process, or to see a generic copy of one of our Sale/Purchase Agreements, you can visit this page on our website entitled How It Works - Buying From Us.

We received title insurance through Cow County Title and would recommend them to our buyers looking to acquire title insurance as well. As the lots have already been insured by their company, it should make the escrow process quicker and cheaper. That said, we’d recommend budgeting $800 - $1,000.

Yes.

Included below are the price points for our various properties, the terms offered and samples of our Land Contracts. We encourage anyone interested in purchasing this way, to review the contract prior to placing their deposit.

Only if you pay it off as slowly as humanly possible.

Our contracts contain only pre-payment incentives and no pre-payment penalties.

Additionally, every contract will come with a 180-Days-Same-As-Cash Guarantee.

If you pay us all the money at once, it will be deeded into your name immediately. If you elect to finance the land, we will not deed it into your name until such a time as all the payments have been made. Until that time, the land contract linked above will be the document that demonstrates your equitable interest in the property.

As soon as you give us money, it’s yours to do with as you please.
