Property report: 10-acre off-grid basecamp
Full write-up for APN 010-58H-023 — BLM adjacency, OS zoning, GPS corners, owner-financing terms, and nearby recreation around Montello, Wells, and Elko.
Executive summary
Rare 10-acre high-desert parcel in Elko County’s Gamble District with a direct boundary against federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) public land. The offering is built around recreational freedom, unrestricted views, no HOA, and affordable owner financing.
Direct federal BLM boundary
The property borders thousands of acres of public BLM land. That expands the usable backyard for hiking, ATV riding, camping, and hunting without crossing private property. Because federal land cannot be turned into residential subdivisions, it also acts as a permanent buffer for privacy and mountain views.
Zoning and use
Flexible OS (Open Space) zoning. Recreational RV camping is permitted for up to 28 days per year without a permit. The parcel is a blank canvas for an off-grid cabin, tiny home, or solar setup; a well and septic require standard county permits.
Location
East of Montello in Elko County, Nevada, under 3 hours straight down I-80 from Salt Lake City. Minutes from Angel Lake (high-altitude fishing at 8,500 ft) and Twelvemile Hot Springs (about 100°F natural geothermal soaking). The town of Elko is the regional hub for Basque dining and western history; Wells is the nearby service town.
