About 2960 Jacks Valley Road
100 Private Acres Above Genoa — Two Estate Sites, Endless Forest, No Neighbors. Rarely does raw land offer this kind of drama. This is the alternative to the country club: The property is served by a private, gated, road, 100 acres in the Carson Range foothills where you build exactly what you want, with no HOA, no design review board, and no one looking back at you. A two-mile private drive climbs through Water Canyon and opens onto commanding 360-degree views — Genoa's historic valley floor, Jacks Valley spread out below, the Sierra rising to the west, and the lights of Carson City far in the distance. The setting feels far larger than its acreage, with a mix of level building pads, sloped terrain, and wooded, rural character that horses and outdoor enthusiasts will love. The parcel borders BLM and National Forest on the mountain side and adjoins additional undeveloped acreage, so the land you control extends far beyond the land you own. Ride, hike, or hunt from your back door across thousands of acres of protected open space that will never be developed. Two distinct building sites give you real options: a single 15,000+ sq ft legacy residence on the most dramatic promontory, or a full family compound with a main home, guest residence, barn, and outbuildings spread across level pads and wooded terrain. Well and septic required, utilities not yet in place — a blank canvas for an architect-driven mountain estate with zero compromises. Minutes to historic Genoa - Nevada oldest settlement - 20 minutes to Carson City's private aviation, 35 minutes to Lake Tahoe's south shore, world-class skiing,and roughly an hour to Reno-Tahoe International. Nevada offers no state income tax and Douglas County remains one of the most private, low-density jurisdictions in the Sierra. For the buyer who has looked at Clear Creek and wants something bigger, wilder, and entirely their own. Golf course, meadow, mountain, valley, and city views layer together from nearly every angle of the property. This is a rare opportunity to build a legacy.
