40 Acres on High Ground in Elko County NV with Mountain Views and Buildable Area

If you have been looking for a private piece of land where your family can spread out, stay close together, and enjoy wide open space away from crowded neighborhoods, this 40-acre mountain property in Elko County, Nevada is worth a look.

Located in the Mountain Meadow Ranches subdivision near Wells, NV, this property sits high above the surrounding area with long-distance mountain and desert views. Most of the land is elevated and sloped, giving it a true “top of the mountain” feel, while one flatter section provides a more practical area for a future cabin, home, RV setup, or family gathering spot.

The higher elevation creates extra privacy and separation from nearby properties. It is the kind of place where you can enjoy quiet mornings, cooler air, open skies, and room for future plans without feeling boxed in by neighbors.

Access comes from a county-maintained dirt road off SR233, with Interstate 80 nearby. West Wendover is about 47 minutes away for fuel, groceries, and supplies. Salt Lake City is about 2 hours and 25 minutes away.

The property is zoned Open Space District (OS), allowing single-family homes, agricultural use, mobile homes, tiny homes, camping, and RV use under county guidelines. Camping and RV use are allowed up to 28 days per year without septic.

Utilities will require setup. Water will need a well or alternative source. Septic is required, and alternative power will most likely be needed since no visible power poles were found nearby. Propane service is available in the area.

With low annual taxes of only $69.04 and no HOA, this property gives buyers flexibility without high holding costs. It can work as a future retirement property, a long-term family gathering place, or land to hold while nearby parcels become available for relatives or future expansion.
