Key Investment Benefits
Affordable Entry Point – At $1,001 per acre, this property provides an economical investment in large-acreage Western land with direct access to Highway 395.

Minimal Holding & Maintenance Costs – With no major infrastructure, this land is a low-cost holding ideal for long-term passive investment.
Reliable Access & Infrastructure Potential – The property fronts Highway 395 and County Road 2-16, ensuring year-round access. Additionally, transmission lines cross 14 acres, creating future utility connection potential.
