This property is offered for sale at a starting bid of just $1000 (subject to a low unpublished reserve) or can be bought now at a low BUY NOW price of just $75,000. This reserve is much lower than all current eBay comparable listings, and, is perhaps the most reasonably priced section of land listed for sale today in Elko County. Any reasonable offer will be considered by the seller. If you wish to make a reasonable offer, juts e-mail us and let us know your offer, nothing unreasonable will be rejected. However, do not e-mail an unreasonable offer of $10,000. You know what is reasonable, fair, appropriate and still a great bargain. That type of offer we will consider. Note that the winning bid price plus our closing fee of $399 is the total price. So, if you offer or submit a winning bid of $61,000 the final price will be $61,399. Sorry, we do not have any photos of the land as we have not visited the property. We also do not control the mineral rights, ONLY the surface rights.
This parcel was purchased with title insurance for Ticor Title of Reno Nevada. A title insured closing can be arranged for the winning bidder. AGAIN, note that the sale does not include mineral rights, however, we have the ability to purchase the mineral rights at an additional price of $34 per acre. The County Website is a valuable tool you should use as you perform your due diligence and other research on this property. The site has location maps, zoning, tax and other usefull links which will give you, the prospetive bidder, most information you will need to evaluate this property and county.

Please do all research prior to bidding.
In Nevada, existing roads, tracks and trails are considered as access by private land holders, such as us, and by the BLM. Very few roads in Nevada, paved or otherwise, have “legal” recorded easements associated with them. The State and County often consider that they have prescriptive rights to these roads and maintain the major routes for public benefit and use. These existing access routes often are the result of the original pioneer/emigrant wagon routes, and from latter day prospector, rancher, hunting and recreational vehicle use which has continued for many, many years. As a general statement, if a roadway, track or trail exists, it is considered usable access.
If existing routes do not exist to some parcels because of the checkerboard pattern of ownership with BLM, BLM will not “land-lock” the parcel/s and deny you access to the land, but an application for an access Right-of-Way Grant would be necessary, even for corner crossings. The same goes with us. If access is needed across a parcel/s that you are not purchasing, we would grant you an access easement across that parcel/s if you provide us with the surveyed legal description for a proposed roadway.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
CLIMATE OF NORTHERN NEVADA
Northern Nevada is basin and range country, with numerous north-south oriented mountain ranges and intermountain valleys. Elevation varies considerably from mountain tops to valley bottoms, although average elevation tends to increase gradually from the western border to the eastern border. Base elevation varies from 4,500 feet to 6,200 feet, with an overall average of about 5,000 feet. The environmental zone is upper sonoran desert. Sagebrush chaparral is the predominate vegetation community in the lowlands, with forests of juniper and pinion pine common in the mountains. The climate is arid with abundant sunshine; the air is clean and dry. Precipitation is typically slight, averaging about 9 inches per year in the valleys and lowlands. Summers are short and hot, while winters are generally moderate (except in the northeastern part of the state, where winters can be long and cold). Temperatures are below freezing on the coldest winter days, while temperatures above 100 F occasionally occur in the summer. Average annual temperature is 45 F.
At Battle Mountain, a community in the approximate center of northern Nevada, the average low temperature in January is 26.5 F, the average high temperature in June is 93 F, and there are about 267 days of sunshine. Average annual precipitation is 7.49 inches, with an average of 17.1 inches of snowfall in the surrounding mountains.
ECONOMY OF NORTHERN NEVADA
Northern Nevada is Cowboy Country! Agriculture is the principal economic activity in northern Nevada, especially livestock production. Vast rangelands provide grazing for livestock, predominantly cattle and sheep. Other types of livestock production include horses, hogs, emu, and llama.
Farming is concentrated in the valleys where there is available water for irrigation. Alfalfa hay is the principal farm crop, though potatoes, onions, garlic, and alfalfa seed are important, as well. Numerous other crops are grown in lesser quantities, including Christmas trees!
Mining is the other basic industry in northern Nevada, providing employment for many people living in rural areas. The minerals produced include gold, silver, copper, manganese, tungsten, mercury, lead, and zinc.
Tourism is another important industry in northern Nevada, and many tourists are attracted each year to colorful events and abundant recreational opportunities.
- Pyramid Lake and Rye Patch Reservoir for boating and fishing
- Pristine desert wilderness areas for hunting, hiking, and camping
- Hotels and resorts in the larger cities along Interstate Highway 80 for golfing, casino gambling, celebrations (such as Basque festivals), and theme events (such as Hot August Nights in Reno)
THE RAILROAD CHECKERBOARD LANDS IN NEVADA
|
The first legislation to authorize and promote construction of a transcontinental railroad was introduced in the U.S. Congress in 1854. The bill was a tangible expression of "Manifest Destiny" - the popular concept that the United States would expand inevitably westward across the continent to the Pacific Ocean. Although the bill had insufficient support to pass at that time, Congress passed a similar transcontinental railroad bill eight years later. President Abraham Lincoln signed it into law on 1 July 1862. |
But in 1862, the Civil War was raging, and the consequent demands for men and materials delayed implementation of the transcontinental railroad. In 1864, Congress amended the act to provide greater incentive for building this strategically important railway. As amended, the act granted vast amounts of land to the two railroad companies involved in the construction: the Union Pacific Railroad Company, and the Central Pacific Railroad Company. In the newly created state of Nevada, the land grant was comprised of all the odd numbered township sections (approximately 640 acres each) in a 40-mile wide swath along the Central Pacific right-of-way, extending 20 miles out on each side of the railway route. With the government retaining the even numbered sections as public land, and the Central Pacific owning the odd numbered sections, all subsequent land status maps of northern Nevada show a distinctive checkerboard pattern of land ownership along the railroad route.
Within Nevada, the land grant amounted to 5,068,603.65 acres. Central Pacific was expected to sell this land in order to finance construction of the railroad, and as the Central Pacific tracks were progressing eastward through California, the first auction was convened in the nascent town of Reno, Nevada, on 9 May 1868. Lots in the new townsite sold reasonably well, with a few lots selling for as much as $1,000 each, paid in gold coin. Auctions of townsite lots in the Nevada railroad towns of (from west to east) Wadsworth, Lovelock, Winnemucca, Argenta, Carlin, Elko, and Wells, as well as rangeland sales to ranchers in Elko County and Humboldt County, were also lucrative. But elsewhere in Nevada, Central Pacifica's land sales were less successful. Much of the checkerboard lands in Nevada were unsold in 1887, when the Southern Pacific Railroad Company acquired Central Pacific and its assets.
The Southern Pacific Railroad Company owned and managed the Nevada checkerboard lands for over 100 years, with sales and leases to provide revenue. Southern Pacific eventually merged with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Company in 1983 to form the Santa Fe Southern Pacific Company (renamed Santa Fe Pacific Corporation in 1989). Twelve years later, in October 1995, this company sold all that remained of the original 5,068,603.65 acres. 1,377,583 acres of pristine high-desert land, with many parcels adjacent to Interstate Highway 80. |
