10 acres land for sale in Montello, NV with power running along it! It's sits about 1/4 mile W of the graveled Pilot Road with stunning big views of the Pilot Mountains - oh this one is a catch! It's in Elko County by the Idaho Utah State line 2 hours W of Salt Lake City. Stunning mountain views and decent access to this rural off the beaten path property zoned for a home or RV! What a pretty place in Cowboy Country!
All the photos were taken in June 2012 of the property and surrounding views. I actually stopped at the federal survey marker at the 1/2 mile point along the section to take photos of another property in the area and this property touches that marker in it's SE corner! At first I couldn't figure out why power showed in the aerial photos but not in my photos looking south, only along Pilot Road. So I played with Google Earth and took the view back a few years ago and see that there has indeed been power strung along the south since I was there in 2012! It looks like it got strung to a neighbors to the west. You will need to contact the local power company for the cost to hook up to it.
It sits about 1/4 mile west of Pilot Valley Road. There is a bladed dirt road and power that leads west and runs right thru the property. Our maps show this road runs a little north of where it should which is not too uncommon for old roads to be off out here. Finding the federal survey marker will help but ultimately if you wanted to build you would want to do a survey to mark your corners first.
From the NE to the SE across the Tecoma and Pilot Valleys are stunning long views of the Pilot Mountains. Pilot Peak sits SE across the Pilot Valley. At 10,716 feet, she is the highest peak in the Pilot Mountain Range and can be seen for miles across the valley! Rhyolite Butte, a cool rock formation at the north end of the range can be seen across the Tecoma Valley.
There’s not a lot of people living out here but I’ve noticed that majority of the people who do live here seem to live along Pilot Road which runs along the Pilot Mountain Range. On several occasions now I have seen the county blading Pilot Road. The Tecoma Volunteer Fire Department and garbage transfer station sit along Pilot Road.
My Grandfather told me I was related to the great Kit Carson and I read an interesting story about how Pilot Peak got its name. It was an easily recognized landmark from the Great Salt Lake Desert and during John C. Fremont's third expedition mapping the Great Basin, he sent Kit Carson ahead to scout for water sources to see if his entire party could cross the desert. Carson found a perennial spring just east of the peak and lit a large bonfire signaling Fremont that the crossing was possible.
In 2012 I traveled around the east side of the Pilot Mountains and found herd after herd of deer and elk, rabbits, a mirage on the Great Salt Lake Desert, and the pink, orange and purple sunset over the Pilot Mountains! It was well worth the 2 hour drive and I included a video of it in the additional photos area!
From the NW to the SW are pretty views of the treed Murdock Mountains and the Toano Mountains. A few locals educated me about how sacred these mountains were to the natives who lived here many years ago when we stopped in for a bite to eat at the Cowboy Bar Cafe in 2012. They told me that the Pilot Mountains, Toano Mountains and the valley between is filled with arrows, old sewing needs and lots more remnants from those who lived here many, many years ago!
I have explored the west side of the mountains and it is miles of jeep trails to explore with antelope running around. Apparently there are elk out here too although I have not seen them myself but in October 2014 we were stopped by a hunter with a quad asking if we had seen any elk. He said they liked to hang out in the mountain just across the valley to the west. He also commented on a few people that had improved their properties on this side of the mountains and sure enough down the road a ways we spotted a cute cabin! I snapped a picture of his truck and quad and included it in the additional photos area - fun!
We stopped at the Cowboy Bar Café again in 2013 for a bite to eat and to warm up and met a couple cowboys that said they worked at the Gamble Ranch and I spent the next hour bending their ear! They said it had been a very cold winter and it was common for some cattle to die and we had just finished picking up a big skull out by this property. I included a few photos in the additional photos area of these truly nice gentlemen - thanks guys!
There is a dedicated easement surrounding each parcel for ingress and egress on the parcel map. This land was once part of the large Gamble Ranch and it is open range land. This was split up many years ago but there still is the old ranch to the north of Montello. It is a beautiful drive up to this ranch and the road takes you on an incredible drive through a narrow fertile valley with gorgeous crops growing along the river!
This property adjoins one square miles of BLM land on its south as seen in the BLM map. The parcel map shows this 10 acres sits in the very south of the section. A section = 1 square mile = 640 acres. For more information on BLM land you can visit www.glm.gov.
This is a very rural and remote valley well off the beaten path with a few people scattered up and down it and with the town of Montello, population 138, being the hub for the valley. It offers a gas/mini grocery store, post office and restaurant. I don't ever recall NOT seeing an antelope when I visited this valley and I have seen wild horses roaming out here as well - absolutely stunning when you see them for your first time!
One afternoon I came across a family with a pink baby blanket out exploring on a side by side who said they were out shedding. I asked what shedding was and learned that they were collecting antlers from the antelope and others that had shed them...ya ok I got it! It looked like a fun family affair and I thought they sure are starting their princess out young! : )
Elko is about 2 hours to the west where you will find a hospital and major shopping. Wendover is a larger town to the SE about an hour on Interstate 80 and people in this valley commute there for work as well as groceries. There is also a mine that has been expanding its operations along I80 to the South.
I seldom come across properties in this valley with power as power is rare here! Hot dog! What a great place to build a home and hang your hat in Cowboy Country! Enjoy! Char the Explorer : )
