Recreational & Residential Land for Sale in Gardnerville, Nevada

Patented Gold & Silver Mine + 65 AFA Water Rights (Two Springs) | 20 Acres off US-395 | ~35 Minutes to Lake Tahoe

An exceptionally rare Nevada asset that speaks to multiple buyer profiles--water-rights investors, luxury retreat builders, developers, and legacy land buyers. The historic Danite Mine is a patented gold and silver mine with 65 AFA water rights sourced from two separate springs, set on 20 private acres near Gardnerville and just off US-395--approximately 35 minutes to Lake Tahoe and its world-class skiing and year-round recreation.

This is the kind of property that combines what's hardest to find in one place: private title, real water, true privacy, and proximity to a world-class destination--creating virtually unlimited upside depending on your vision.

Water Rights You Can See: Two Spring Sources + A Desert Oasis with Mountain Views!

Included are 65 acre-feet annually (AFA) of water rights, divided between two spring sources for added flexibility and optionality. One spring is part of the approach--you drive through it on the way to the property, a rare feature that makes the value of water unmistakable.

More than a water asset, the spring creates a lush oasis in the middle of the desert--a natural gathering point and drinking source for the wild horses that roam the area.

Potential strategies may include holding, leasing, or selling water rights (buyer to verify transferability and permitted uses).

High Elevation Panoramas: Topaz to Kingsbury Grade

Set at elevation, the property delivers commanding vistas: views from the Topaz Lake area all the way to Kingsbury Grade and Gardnerville. Each evening, enjoy stunning sunsets over the Sierra Nevada, with the valley and mountains shifting through layers of light.

Privacy Without Losing Convenience

This is true seclusion--no close neighbors, expansive views, and quiet--yet it remains practical:

• Dirt-road access approximately 10 minutes off the main road helps preserve privacy
• 20 minutes to Walmart and everyday essentials
• Quick access to US-395 for easy regional travel

In other words: be in the middle of nowhere--without being far from anything.

Patented Claim = Control

A patented mining claim is private property, offering ownership certainty and control that typical claims do not. Whether your plan is to build, hold, invest, explore, or position for future regional growth, this is a uniquely flexible asset.

Highly Protected Property -- Access by Appointment Only
