Nevada Land For Sale
BLM - Can I Get Free Land in the BLM?
No. The BLM occasionally sells land - but only at fair market value, as required by law. The advertisement by private companies not associated with the Federal government may ask you to send in money for information about how to buy land for $1.25 an acre (or a similarly low figure). The BLM recommends that you read carefully any advertisement on this subject and be cautious about sending money. The BLM will provide you free and accurate information about land sales. ...

H.R. 3705, to provide for the sale of certain public lands in the Ivanpah Valley, Nevada, to
ENSIGN. Just because I'm pretty familiar with this area, why would it change? There's no other private land available out there to build any kind of infrastructure to increase the value of that. We talked about that in this Committee when we were talking about the southern Nevada lands bill. Land in the desert—this is no water rights; this is no—this is as barren of land—as a matter of fact, Mr. Vento, when you were talking about this land, if you could see this land, this is as barren a land as you can possibly get. Most of it is a dry lake bed that—alkali—that nothing grows on, and this land is as worthless a land as you can possibly imagine. Why would this land increase in value if nothing else is done? If the county doesn't do this, take this land down—the BLM is not in the business of improving the land to increase the value—so, if the county government doesn't do this, there's no other private land out there, how can you increase the value of t ...

Nevada Natural Resources Status Report
Two of the most significant single land ownership changes involve federal government transactions. In 1989, approximately 660,000 acres was transferred from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) under the Nevada National Forest and BLM Enhancement Act. In 1985, the Navy added 177,000 acres to the Fallon Naval Air Station land base to accommodate an expanded military mission. Today, land transactions are focused mainly on consolidating private and public lands to more effectively and prudently conserve, manage, and develop land and water resources. The level of activity involving public and private land sales and exchanges has intensified in recent years, primarily in and around cities and urbanizing towns. ... [Read More]
Public Rewards from Public Lands
Nowhere is this pressure more acute than in the Las Vegas area. In response to the critical need for space in the Las Vegas Valley, Congress passed the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act of 1998. Under this law, BLM-Nevada will auction off nearly 27,000 acres of the valley's public land, which is difficult to manage for multiple uses. Eighty-five percent of the land-sale proceeds will remain in Nevada, where Federal agencies will use the money to buy environmentally sensitive land; write a multi-species habitat conservation plan in Clark County; develop parks, trails, and natural areas in Clark County; and make capital improvements at Lake Mead National Recreation Area, the Desert National Wildlife Refuge, Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, and the Spring Mountain National Recreation Area. Ten percent of the land-sale proceeds will go to the Southern Nevada Water Authority and five percent to the Nevada State Permanent School Fund. ... [Read More]

United States Senator John Ensign
In addition to denying local governments all federal funds for developing seized land, Ensign’s legislation would cut off incentives, such as tax code benefits, to private developers. By doing so, there would be no demand for seized property, making potentially seized land unattractive to commercial developers. ... Ensign began working on the problem immediately after the recent Supreme Court decision allowing local governments to force the sale of private property for commercial projects. Ensign’s legislation would deny often-crucial tax incentives to private corporations and other entities looking to develop seized land. ... [Read More]
