Retro Camper with Mountain Views

2 sites · Lodging2 acres · Jean, NV
Welcome to your peaceful, desert getaway. This property has been around since before Clark County was founded in 1910. Only 35 minutes from the Strip, the house on site housed the owner of the Yellow Pine Mining Company in the early 1900s. The property is home to Joshua trees, desert mountain views, beautiful sunsets, and some of the best star gazing around. Head across the street, to the Pioneer Saloon, for some great food and live music.

Sage Desert Dreams

1 site · Lodging4 acres · Mount Charleston, NV
Get out of the city and enjoy the peace and quiet of nature when you stay in this unique place. Local Deer and fox roaming the area if you are lucky to see them. Wake up to a gorgeous mountain/valley view , BBQ during the day and enjoy smore's with the firepit at night. Miles of hiking right off the property and in the surrounding areas. Lots of local dirt bike and side by side riders in the area as well. There are virtually no neighbors. You will feel as though you have the entire valley to yourself! 4-wheel drive highly recommended and it is off-road/ off-grid driving... I have seen 2-wheel and Tesla's make it up there as well, you will need to be a confident driver.

Tranqvillium

Tranqvillium was purchased in 2016 with the intention of creating Gaia Earthen Technologies Sustainable Living Educational and Research Center. Construction started in 2016 and now we have our first temporary building and working on the others. The daily operation is run by Tranqvillium, an intentional community of people who don't like to spend their money on rent and utility bills.Learn more about this land:The location is about an hour west of Las Vegas in the California Mojave Desert. Even though the lights of Vegas are visible on the Eastern horizon, above Tranqvillium there is no light pollution and the entirety of the visible part of the Milky Way is shining down on us. Tecopa Hot Springs is 30 min West from us, along with China Ranch date farm. From China ranch it's a 40 min hike through Mars like terrain to a swimming hole complete with a small waterfall, where the Amargosa River comes above ground. The ancient lake bed where Tranqvillium is located is surrounded by medium height mountains, which are perfect for rock scrambling, and the world famous Red Rock climbing site is nearby too. The place is very rugged and is recommended for experienced campers who are not taken aback by wilderness living.
