This incredible 40-acre property in Pilot Valley offers something truly rare in the Nevada desert - McDonald Creek, a year-round stream that flows right through the land, bringing life, beauty, and lasting value to this peaceful setting.Located just south of Montello and nestled at the base of the iconic Pilot Peak, the property is steeped in rich history and natural wonder. Pilot Peak once guided pioneers traveling the Hastings Cutoff, including the infamous Donner Party, and nearby Montello was a thriving railroad town in the early 1900s. Today, the area is a quiet escape, known for its rugged beauty, wide-open space, and strong sense of independence.This corner lot borders BLM land to the north and east, giving you direct access to thousands of acres of public land. It's a haven for wildlife - turkey, antelope, deer, and elk roam the area year-round - making it an ideal location for hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, or anyone looking to reconnect with nature.With stunning mountain views, flowing water, and unmatched privacy, this Pilot Valley property is perfect for an off-grid retreat, camping base, or long-term investment in Nevada's untamed high desert.
