145 Esmeralda Drive is a unique mixed-use property comprised of two buildings situated on a 2.13-acre parcel in scenic Washoe Valley, Nevada. Zoned Low Density Suburban (LDS), the site accommodates low-density residential as well as light commercial uses. To top it off - the property enjoys views of the Sierra Nevada mountains to the west, and the Virginia Range to the east. The existing improvements are turnkey and provide a rare combination of investment income and owner-user flexibility. Although currently configured as a single parcel, the two buildings are positioned to create semi-private, 1+ acre settings that can function largely independent of one another. The first building is a 2,400 SF wood-frame structure constructed in 1996. It is currently leased to a childcare operator and includes a residential component that allows the tenant to live on-site. The property also benefits from a cell tower lease that generates passive income, which will transfer with the sale. The second building is a 4,000 SF masonry and metal structure originally built in 2001. Current ownership has extensively renovated the property with high-end finishes to include a 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence and lounge area, complemented by an attached 2,200 SF shop. The grounds are fully improved with concrete and paved surfaces, landscaped yard areas, a water feature, detached storage shed, and more. Offered vacant at closing, this building presents an exceptional opportunity for an owner-user, live/work occupant, weekend retreat, or potential small-event venue. Centrally located between Reno and Carson City, Washoe Valley has retained its rural, ranch-oriented character, yet is just minutes from the region's major employment and population centers. The property offers a compelling blend of privacy, functionality, and accessibility, with easy access to surrounding markets such as Reno, Sparks, Carson City, and Gardnerville. Potential users include contractors, landscapers, automotive enthusiasts, and other business owners seeking a flexible live/work environment. This is truly a one-of-a-kind property. Touring in person is highly recommended to fully understand the property's versatility and potential. Please contact the listing agents for additional information or to schedule a showing.

Welcome to 29 Willow Bend Lane, where the hard part of building your dream home has already been done. Set behind the gates of Franktown Estates on Toiyabe Golf Club, this exceptional 1.62-acre homesite occupies one of the most desirable and private settings within the community. Positioned at the end of Willow Bend near the 18th green, the property captures expansive views across the golf course, Washoe Valley, Washoe Lake and the surrounding Sierra Nevada mountains. And while the setting alone makes this property special, what has already been completed makes it an extraordinary opportunity. This is not a piece of land where the next owner has to start from scratch. Utilities are metered, HOA plans are approved, permits are in place, and the property is ready to move toward construction. Months of planning, approvals, coordination and upfront expense have already been handled, giving the next owner the opportunity to skip much of the uncertainty and time typically associated with preparing a custom homesite. The 1.62-acre parcel is considerably larger than many of the neighboring FrankTown Estates golf-course lots, with public records confirming its level topography, golf-course frontage and mountain, valley, water and golf views. The Willow Bend cul-de-sac is also tucked away from the primary community traffic while remaining within easy walking distance of the clubhouse and driving range. From the homesite, the landscape unfolds in nearly every direction. Green fairways sit against the high desert, Washoe Lake stretches across the valley, and the Sierra rises dramatically beyond it all. The aerial views show just how uniquely positioned this parcel is, surrounded by open space and golf rather than rows of neighboring homes. There are plenty of beautiful lots in Northern Nevada. There are far fewer where you can find acreage, privacy, golf-course frontage, lake and mountain views, a gated setting, and a substantial amount of the pre-construction work already completed. 29 Willow Bend isn't simply an opportunity to buy land. It's an opportunity to start much closer to the finish line. Bring the vision. Much of the groundwork is already done.
