About Our Inventory: The Hemingway Land Company is making a concerted effort to purchase a variety of parcels in a number of subdivisions throughout the town of Pahrump in Nye County, Nevada. Each of the properties we'll be listing here will be residential lots with one or more utilities available to help accomodate home construction and easy country living. We like this region because it's a small town that's well developed and yet still inexpensive, it sits in close proximity to a lot of great attractions throughout Southern Nevada and because property values here benefit from the success and subsequent growth of nearby Las Vegas. We are investing heavily in this region now and in the months ahead and look forward to bringing you more unique parcels to help those looking to relocate to the area, or those simply looking to invest. Either way, if we don't have your ideal parcel in our inventory now, we likely will in the weeks and months ahead.
About Our Spreadsheet: The spreadsheet linked on this page is provided to help our buyers better compare and contrast individual properties to determine which is best suited to their needs and most ideal for purchase. The spreadsheet contains helpful information such as parcel numbers, acreage and details about road access and available utilities. Most helpfully, however, it contains the physical addresses of each lot, which when clicked, will bring the property up in a seperate window in Google Maps. This will help you evaluate the location of the land and hopefully help determine which property you're more interested in scouting and/or purchasing. In addition to this information, we've also provided links to plat maps (to get a sense of the exact shape and dimensions of the lots) as well as pricing information, financing options (when available) and finally a 'Buy Now' link which when clicked will take you to a secure checkout page where you can enter credit or debit card information to purchase the desired property.
How To Purchase: Anyone interested in purchasing one of our Pahrump properties can do so by clicking either the 'Buy Now' button on that property's specific listing page, or using that property's 'Buy Now' payment link on the spreadsheet. These links will take you to a secure site where you can enter credit or debit card payment information to purchase the land.
It should be noted that each property has two payment options: the first is for cash and the second is a financing option. The cash deposit is a Non-Refundabl Earnest Money Deposit of $500.00 and can be used whether you intend to fund the purchase with a credit or debit card, or whether you intend to close through a title company. The second option is a financing option which comes with a deposit and recurring monthly payment. This option is best for those who would prefer to fund their purchase gradually over a period of months.
Should you have any questions about the buying process, we encourage you to visit our How Buying Works page.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do you have any adjacent lots?
Only where indicated on the spreadsheet. If we have two or more properties that are next to one another we will always sell them that way as they are inherently and exponentially more valuable than if sold separately.
I’m looking at Property X and Property Y. Are THEY adjacent?
No. If they were adjacent we’d combine them into one listing.
I’m looking at Unit 1, Block 37, Lot G. Is that adjacent to Unit 5, Block 196, Lot A?
No. If you look at the spreadsheet we have linked on this page you’ll see the Legal Descriptions of the properties. These are written logically. Unit 1, Block 1, Lot A would be adjacent to Unit 1, Block 1, Lot B. So on and so forth. If you’re looking at two properties wondering if they’re adjacent - or even close by - simply review the legal descriptions or hyperlinked GPS coordinates.
Do you have any 5 or 10 acre lots? Or anything bigger than a third of an acre?
No. The Calvada Valley subdivisions were broken up over many years ago into lots ranging in size from a tenth of an acre to a third of an acre and a few larger lots occupying corners and cul de sacs. There is nothing larger, and the only way to get something larger is to purchase adjacent lots.
What are the chances you’ll get a bunch of adjacent lots that total 5 or 10 acres?
Highly unlikely. That much adjacent acreage in this region is the rural land equivalent of a unicorn. But if it’s that important to you we’d encourage you to subscribe to our weekly newsletter or YouTube channel. New properties debut on our site every Friday and are announced in those platforms first. By subscribing to either you’ll be among the first to know should we ever have a listing like that.
If you get a bunch of adjacent lots totaling x amount of acres, can you call me personally to let me know?
No. That’s what the website, the email blast and the YouTube channel are for.
How far away from Pahrump is Las Vegas?
The Las Vegas Strip is a roughly one hour drive time from Pahrump. Summerlin (western Vegas), however, is only forty minutes away. Summerlin is the Vegas suburbs and is home to a great deal of restaurants, shopping and recreation activities.
Do these lots have “legal access?”
Yes.
How are the roads in this area?
Very good, as all of these lots sit in developed areas made to encourage and accommodate future development. Many of the roads are paved and the few that aren’t usually consist of well maintained gravel, which likely means they’ll be paved in the near future. Either way, every property we’re listing will be easily accessible by any vehicle type.
To see the road conditions of a specific property, please review the photo gallery at the bottom of that property’s individual listing page.
What’s the situation with utilities?
Each lot is different and the best way to know which ones have power, underground telecom lines, water and sewer lines is to review their individual listing pages. Some have one or more, some have all, some are close to the nearest available utilities and some are on roads earmarked for future development where service is merely scheduled to be offered.
The major thing we want our buyers to understand is that unlike a lot of properties we list, all of these lots are in a residential area serviced by city utilities in a town that encourages development. This means that all of these utilities can be brought to an individual parcel, though some may cost more than others.
As with a lot of things, buyers are encouraged to do their own due diligence and speak with local utility companies about the availability of service or the cost in getting a certain service extended to a specific lot.
Who are the local utility companies and how can I contact them?
Nevada Energy (702) 402-5555
Sol Up Solar Energy (702) 710-0678
Southwest Gas (877) 860-6020
Cox Communications (702) 258-9222
Great Basin Water Company (844) 694-4404
Are there any covenants or restrictions for these subdivisions?
Yes. That said, the covenants and restrictions that exist in these regions are not the type you find with Home Owners Associations - dictating for instance how tall a fence can be, or the maximum square footage of a tool shed. Rather, these covenants defer greatly to state building and environmental codes. In other words, rules you’d have to follow anyway.
To see the covenants and restrictions that govern a particular property, please visit that property’s individual listing page where we link to that subdivision’s specific CCRs. If you know which subdivision the property you’re interested in is located, you may also review their respective CCRs here…
What’s the zoning like in this area?
Most of the lots in this region are zoned either VR-8 (Village Residential 8) or VR-10 (Village Residential 10) or VR-20 (Village Residential 20). To learn how a specific property is zoned, please visit the individual listing page.
When it comes to zoning, it’s important to keep in mind that Pahrump is a “small government” conservative western town which favors less regulation, not more. That said, Pahrump is also a developing residential community with an interest in seeing property values rise or remain stable. If your goal is to build a single family residence or live out of a mobile or modular home, you’ll likely get little resistance. If your plans are less conventional than that, it’s best to check with city government as to the viability of those plans and the costs of permitting.
It should be noted, however, that sometimes the easiest thing to do is just look at what the neighbors in that region are doing, how they live and what types of structures are on their land. This will usually give you the best indication of what is permitted and not permitted in a given region (or rather, what you can get away with).
Can I park/live/camp in my RV on this land?
Yes, but only with a building permit and only while building a permanent structure on the land.
Please keep in mind, these are not “recreational” lots - the type you might camp or RV on - but rather residential ones, best for residential and/or investment purposes.
Can I scout the property I’m interested in prior to purchase?
Yes. Please do. We encourage anyone who’s going to buy from us to view the land they’re interested in prior to purchase.
Can you take me on a tour of all the properties you have?
No. We’re investors, not realtors. Additionally, unlike realtors we have no office in Pahrump nor staff on standby waiting to give people guided tours.
How can I scout the property then?
It’s easy. Each of these properties has a physical address you can input into any smart phone or GPS. Those addresses can be found both on the above-linked spreadsheet as well as on the property’s specific listing page.
Is the land marked – like with a ‘For Sale’ sign?
No.
It should be noted, however, that occasionally a rogue realtor or ‘for sale’ sign shows up on or close to one of our lots. Hemingway Land, however, is not affiliated with any realtors, nor are any of our Pahrump properties represented by realtors.
Has the property been staked or surveyed?
Not recently and not by us, no.
This entire region was platted out years ago. Stakes or pins may have been used to mark property boundaries but it’s questionable whether they still exist or can be found. While they may be there, we’re not making that guarantee to our buyers.
The street addresses and GPS coordinates we give you to locate the lots are fairly accurate and should get you to a location that will give you an excellent sense of precisely what chunk of land it is that you’d be buying. For a specific sense of where the lot begins and ends, it is ultimately best to hire a local surveyor.
Why don’t you get the lots surveyed?
Three reasons:
1 - For our purposes of creating listings, we have software that tells us everything we need to know about the property’s size, shape and location.
2 - We never know if our end buyer will want or require a survey.
3 - If the survey costs us $1,000 we’re simply going to goose the price of the land $2,000. Hence, it’s ultimately cheaper for the buyer to pay for the survey themselves.
Do you have a Plat Map of the region that you can provide for me?
Yes. Every property has a plat map in the gallery at the bottom of its listing page. Additionally, plat maps for each lot are linked in the master spreadsheet.
How can I buy one of these properties?
Simply click the ‘Buy Now’ button at the top of the listing page of the property that interests you most. This is the blue/turquoise square with the price and the words ‘Buy Now’ written on it. We also have ‘Buy Now’ links in the spreadsheet. Simply find the property that interests you and then navigate over to the Q and R columns of the sheet. ‘Buy Now’ buttons are also linked there.
It should be noted that we offer two options on each listing page: a cash option and a financing option. The cash option only requires a $500.00 Non-Refundable Earnest Money Deposit. We do this because we do not anticipate the average buyer can charge multiple thousands of dollars on their credit/debit card in one transaction.
Please Note: If you elect to purchase for cash, we will expect you to pay the remaining balance within a timely manner (a few days, say). Please do not utilize this option if you don’t have the money or the intention of completing the transaction. It will be a waste of our time and your money.
What if I want to close through a title company?
That’s fine. For anyone interested in funding their purchase through a title company simply use the Cash ‘Buy Now’ button to make the aforementioned Non-Refundable Earnest Money Deposit of $500.00. After we have your deposit, we will draft a sale/purchase agreement which both parties (buyer and seller) will sign. Upon collecting your signature, we’ll submit the contract to the title company and let them do the rest.
To learn more about this process, or to see a generic copy of one of our Sale/Purchase Agreements, you can visit this page on our website entitled How It Works - Buying From Us.
How much extra will title insurance and escrow costs run me?
We received title insurance through Cow County Title and would recommend them to our buyers looking to acquire title insurance as well. As the lots have already been insured by their company, it should make the escrow process quicker and cheaper. That said, we’d recommend budgeting $800 - $1,000.
Do you offer financing?
Yes.
Included below are the price points for our various properties, the terms offered and samples of our Land Contracts. We encourage anyone interested in purchasing this way, to review the contract prior to placing their deposit.

$8,000 Lots: $3,000.00 Down + $250.00/Month x 26 Months with 180 Days Same As Cash Guarantee - Sample Land Contract
If I finance the property, won’t I be paying more for it?
Only if you pay it off as slowly as humanly possible.
Our contracts contain only pre-payment incentives and no pre-payment penalties.
Additionally, every contract will come with a 180-Days-Same-As-Cash Guarantee.
When will the property be deeded into my name?
If you pay us all the money at once, it will be deeded into your name immediately. If you elect to finance the land, we will not deed it into your name until such a time as all the payments have been made. Until that time, the land contract linked above will be the document that demonstrates your equitable interest in the property.
How soon can I start using the land?
As soon as you give us money, it’s yours to do with as you please.
Disclaimer: While The Hemingway Land Company does extensive research on all our properties prior to listing them, there are always County-specific rules/regulations we will not be aware of. The information provided on this page is, to the best of our knowledge, correct. All prospective buyers, however, are encouraged to contact the county at the links and numbers provided in this table to confirm that whatever plans that buyer has for the property in question are in fact legal, feasible and permitted. Due diligence is the buyer’s responsibility and all sales are final.
