Gardnerville/Minden has some interesting dynamics. First, unlike most of Nevada it has a lot of privately owned land. Second, a lot of these very large, privately owned properties have water rights.. that is huge. The owners have shown zero interest in selling. A lot of these properties are not ranches or farms.. hence very likely that when they are passed down to the kids the property stays in the family. Finally, a lot of these owners are not actually Nevadans. As of 2021, 65% of all income earned by Douglas County residents leaves the state within 6 months.
As for where I am hoping to buy.. it is south of Fallon. It is part of an old cattle ranch that the previous owners subdivided.
