How many acres? With irrigation or stock water or without? With buildings (ie, a house) or not?
Raw land, without irrigation water rights, runs perhaps $200 to $400/acre, more if there are services installed. In Nevada, you can always drill a domestic well (ie, water for your house, family, domestic animals and perhaps a 1/2 acre yard). They don’t meter your domestic well, so you aren’t held to a strict account of how much you use.
Irrigation water rights are getting bid up to 10’s of thousands of dollars per acre foot if you’re within the areas where Reno/Carson/Vegas are buying water rights. An acre-foot is the amount of water it takes to apply one foot of water to an acre per growing season (April-October). Typically, most land with irrigation water has four to five feet of water rights that go with it. If you don’t make “beneficial use” of irrigation or stock water for five years, the state can yank your water rights, so if you buy property with water rights other than domestic, be sure the rights are “vested” (ie, pre-date NV water law and not subject to “use it or lose it” regs) or you’re prepared to use the water at least once every five years.
Before you buy property in the center of the state, you should think real hard whether or not you can deal with the isolation. You have to be pretty handy and be able to think ahead and not get hurt in most all situations, because medical services are a long, long way away in some of these places.
There’s more private land available along the I-80 corridor than anywhere else in NV, because those were the railroad lands.
If you’ve got more questions, just freepmail me and I’d be happy to answer any questions I can.
Appreciate the info. After I do a bit of geography research, I’ll get back in touch. I live with two oldish cats currently, so being self-sufficient is familiar.
I found Vegas.com and it has a lot of information.
Thanks again.
No problem.
That’s the sculpture. Thank you.
I made the mistake one time about complaining to a guy who parked in a handicapped parking space that it was for people who needed it and he should not be parking there. He said that he thought his artificial leg gave him the right to park there. Was I embarrassed. He did not limp or show any sign of his handicap. However, that said. I have watched people get in the chairs go around the building and then get out and walk to their cars fine. Lazy is all they were.
The docs tell me working out on the eliptical is damaging my knees.......then again they say they do not have to send me off for physical therapy as I am motivated to work out. I can’t win either way. There is no easy answer.
Sorry about your arthritis. My Grand Mother had it so bad it finally killed her. It was horrible watching that women suffer. I hope you do not have that kind. Rheumatoid arthritis is a horrible thing to have.
-well I am far from being a grandmother.....this started in my early 40s, not so fun.
Yeah we just stayed there a few weeks ago.. for the first time. We live in Pahrump, came into town to see a movie, and I hit a 600 dollar jackpot, so we played some more, won some more and went shopping. We were tired and decided to spend the night, 99 bucks and we got a room in the new tower.. the rooms are NICE.
Have always liked the Palms myself.
Contrary to what a lot of people think it can start at any age. I went to school with a girl that had it in her late teens and it was so bad she had to have her finger joints replaced.
