40 Acres Northern Nevada | Off-Grid Homestead Site | Elko County

40 Acres | Off-Grid Ready | Pilot Valley, Elko County, Nevada Asking: $94,200 | Cash Only | Sold As-Is Forty acres of high desert in Pilot Valley, Elko County, Nevada. This is not raw land — significant infrastructure and improvements are already in place, giving a serious buyer a genuine head start on an off-grid homestead, remote retreat, or owner-builder project. Pilot Valley sits in a wide open basin in the northern Great Basin, surrounded by open range and mountain views in every direction. No HOA. No CC&Rs. No neighbors telling you what to do. This is Elko County — you own it, you use it on your own terms. ____________________ Infrastructure & Improvements Septic Permit NDEP-permitted septic system — fully engineered, approved, and permitted. The design work and regulatory approval process is complete. A new owner installs to the approved design without having to start the permitting process from scratch. In a rural county where septic approval can take months, this is a meaningful time and cost advantage. ____________________ Shipping Container One-trip 40-foot high-cube shipping container on site, in excellent condition.
