Back in 1998, somebody dug up a secret underground vault in Pahrump, Nevada and pulled out a fortune in silver belonging to Las Vegas casino owner Ted Binion. Buried treasure. Right here in this same valley. True story - look it up.
Now, nobody is promising silver under this particular parcel. But there is something worth grabbing on it just the same, and it is sitting in plain sight at 4410 North Big Rock Avenue.
The lot runs 19,994 square feet. Just shy of half an acre. Two hundred feet deep on both sides, 107 feet of frontage on Big Rock, 93 feet across the back. Pull up a map of Pahrump and look at most parcels in the area. Most of them are noticeably smaller. This one is not. That is the whole game on a piece of vacant land - getting more dirt for the dollar than the guy next door - and on this stretch of Nye County, this lot delivers.
Depending on who you ask, Pahrump is no backwater anymore. Until the 1960s the place had no paved road in or out and one radio phone in a market. Then NV-160 got built, connecting straight to Las Vegas. Then NV-372 went in, opening a shorter route west to Shoshone, Death Valley, and on toward Los Angeles. By 2005, Nye County was logged as one of the fastest-growing counties in the entire United States. The Vegas exurb crowd has been quietly moving in ever since. Oh, and in November 2017 a Koenigsegg Agera RS hit 277.9 miles per hour on NV-160 right outside town - a world production-car record at the time. Pahrump shows up in the headlines more than people realize.
The lot is zoned Village Residential. Access is by dirt road. Nye County, Nevada. Those are the facts. Now here is how you take it home.
No bank. No credit check. No application stuffed with paperwork that takes six weeks and a notarized blood sample to process. If you can put the down payment together, you are approved. That is the entire qualification process. Title comes clean, guaranteed.
Purchase price: $22,695. Down payment: $227. Monthly: $227.
Half-acre parcels in a county the rest of the country has been pouring into do not stay listed forever. Somebody is going to put a flag on this one. Make sure it is your flag.
