Property Description
LUXURY PROPERTY AUCTION: 16-28 April. Accepting starting bids through 31 March. Starting bids expected at 2M+. Earn an incentive by 31 March. An incomparable desert sanctuary of nearly 400 acres commands the imagination from the moment the surrounding mountains come into view. Fred's Field occupies a private valley adjacent to the Black Rock Desert Conservation Area, where 447 acre-feet of fresh flowing spring water animates the land year-round. Panoramic views of the Buffalo, Selenite, and Granite Peak mountain ranges form a dramatic natural amphitheater, offering a rare sense of seclusion without sacrificing scale. The Black Rock Desert one of the most storied landscapes in the American West and home to the globally celebrated Burning Man Festival borders the property, lending cultural cachet alongside boundless recreational possibilities: hiking, mountain biking, land sailing, high-powered rocketry, hot springs soaking, astrophotography, and world-class stargazing. Squaw Creek Reservoir lies just ten minutes away, inviting fishing, kayaking, and paddleboarding. This is a singular Western legacy holding of unparalleled scope.
