Hard to find parcel of land in one of Nevada’s old mining towns! Contact, Nevada is in the northeast portion of the state, and is only about 15 minutes south of the Idaho border. Gold was discovered here in 1870, and population was about 300 by the 1920s. But a fire destroyed much of the town in 1942, and it has now been given “ghost town” status. According to Nevada Expeditions, “A small population still remains in Contact, most working either in Jackpot or for the highway maintenance station just below town. A handful of historic buildings remain among some newer homes, and the townsite is dominated by the concrete shell of the old Community Social Hall.”
The nearby Faraday Copper Project offers tremendous upside potential. Improved technologies in mineral extraction could result in this becoming an economic driver for the area.
This is an ideal campsite for exploring the many nearby mountains and peaks, fishing, hunting, or going on photo safaris in the Nevada Outback. The county allows camping or RV parking for 28 days at a time. The services and conveniences of Jackpot, NV are only 15 minutes away, and include multiple casinos and a golf course.
