About This Home

2486 Cartwright Road

Built in 2021, this well-designed 3 bedroom, 2 bath home offers 1,888 sq ft of comfortable living in scenic Virginia City Highlands. The open great room features cathedral ceilings, abundant natural light, and a seamless flow into the dining and kitchen and great room areas. The kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with ample cabinetry, generous counter space, and modern appliances, the great room wonderful wall space and an electric fireplace—ideal for both everyday use and entertaining. A dedicated solarium is part of the square footage of the home provides a perfect space for plants, hobbies, or a relaxing retreat. The spacious primary suite includes a well-appointed bath with dual sinks and a walk-in shower. Outdoors, the mostly fenced property offers room to enjoy the mountain setting, complete with a chicken coop, run and 6 chickens and 1 rooster for those seeking a touch of rural living and having fresh eggs every day. An oversized garage and functional layout round out this inviting Highlands property. Virginia City Highlands, located just north of historic Virginia City in Northern Nevada, is a hidden gem straddling Storey and Washoe Counties, offering residents a perfect blend of privacy, natural beauty, and accessibility. Elevated at approximately 6,000 feet, this unincorporated community spans about 24 square miles of low-density living, with homesites ranging from 1 to 40 acres, ensuring plenty of elbow room and a sense of seclusion. Developed in the early 1970s after its origins as a private land tract for rocket testing and ranching, the area has evolved into a peaceful enclave where wild horses roam freely across designated reserves, thanks to the efforts of local homeowners associations that established the Virginia Range Wildlife Protection Association in 1980. Imagine waking to the sight of these majestic animals grazing nearby, or enjoying sunrises that paint the valleys in hues of gold and crimson, all while being just a short drive from the vibrant energy of Reno. Life in Virginia City Highlands embodies the essence of Northern Nevada's high-desert allure—a harmonious mix of rugged independence and luxurious country living. Residents relish the expansive countryside, where diverse architectural styles dot the landscape, from cozy cabins to custom estates, all framed by panoramic views of landmarks like Geiger Lookout Point, which borders the community and offers breathtaking overlooks of the surrounding mountains, hillsides, and valleys. The area's natural features invite endless outdoor adventures: hike or horseback ride through miles of trails in the Virginia Range, explore off-road paths with ATVs, or stargaze under some of the clearest night skies in the region. Wildlife enthusiasts will appreciate the sanctuary-like environment, home not only to wild horses but also to deer, birds of prey, and other native species that thrive in this pristine habitat. Yet, for all its rural charm, Virginia City Highlands is remarkably convenient. Positioned along Nevada State Route 341 via Cartwright and Lousetown Roads, you're only about 20-30 minutes from South Reno's amenities, including shopping, dining options, and access to Reno-Tahoe International Airport. Head south just a few miles, and you'll find yourself in legendary Virginia City, the epicenter of the 1859 Comstock Lode silver rush that once made this the richest place on Earth.
