171 Smithneck isnt just a piece of land?its the kind of opportunity people regret missing. This nearly one-acre, flat corner parcel (0.96 acres) already has water and power in place, removing two of the biggest hurdles to building. Properties like this ready-to-go, in a location this desirable, dont sit around for long. Just 35 minutes to Truckee, 50 minutes to Lake Tahoe, and an easy drive to Reno, you get the rare balance of true seclusion without sacrificing access to everything you need. Set at 5,180 feet in Sierra Brooks, just outside Loyalton, this is where people come to slow down?and stay. Surrounded by the Sierra Lakes Basin, with fishing, hiking, and biking right at your fingertips, youre not just buying land?youre buying a lifestyle most people only talk about. And with Graeagle and Portola nearby, youre close to some of the most charming summer destinations in the region. If youve been thinking about building, this is your moment. Whether its a barn dominium, modular home, or your custom-designed retreat, this property is ready. Bring your horses. Start that garden youve always talked about. Create the sanctuary you keep putting off. The Sierra Brooks community makes it even easier?low annual HOA fees ($158), and youll have access to a clubhouse, campground, and basketball court. Theres even a fire hydrant at the corner, helping reduce insurance costs?something savvy buyers know matters. This level parcel sits in a Fire Wise community with paved access, offering both safety and peace of mind. Youll need a septic system, but public water is already available. Privacy, space, and quiet are built in?but youre still just a short drive from local shops, and only about 45 minutes from Reno if you want big-city convenience. Heres the reality: properties like this are exactly what people mean when they say they want to escape the hustle. The difference is, most people wait too long. Dont be one of them.
