Aslan-
What draws you out there, if you don't mind me asking?
My wife has relatives in LV and we both have friends there. One nice thing about Pahrump is that it sits on a huge water aquifer (approx 22 million acre feet of water). Another is that it is virtually crime free. Pahrump has a population of 35,000 and is growing somewhere betwen 10% and 20% a year. Knowing my wife wanted to retire to the LV area, I purchased a lot in Pahrump from a friend in Fairfax, VA, sight unseen. I paid $28,000 and sold it two years later for more than double. I then purchased an acre lot for $75,000 in an area where I would want to live if I moved there.
My plan is to scour LV for an ideal place to live. I have a few areas in mind. One near or in Spanish Trails near Rainbow--One way north past the Sante Fe where they still have two acre lots--a few areas near but not in Summerlin--not to mention a few other places.
If I can't find exactly what I want, I plan to build a home on my lot in Pahrump. it's growing so fast out there I may not be driving the 60 miles to LV as often as I originally thought.
Do you currently live in the LV area?
