Sandy Valley, Nevada

Homes and Property Listed In Sandy Valley

Some people live off the grid and enjoy the wild, wild west attitude of living exactly as they want. Others enjoy the wide-open spaces with ranching and farming.

What’s great is that residents can enjoy the country. They enjoy the privacy, as well as having the convenience to pop into or commute to the city if they want.

Sandy Valley is near the California State Line west of I-15. The slogan for  Sandy Valley Ranch is “45 Miles and 100 Years from Las Vegas.” Sandy Valley was first populated in the 1800s as an original stop on the Old Spanish Trail for its California to New Mexico Run.

Sandy Valley can be anything you want it to be. The things I like best about Sandy Valley are the weather and the affordability. Outside employment is 20-45 minutes away in Las Vegas, Henderson,  Jean, or Primm.

Sandy Valley home listings are minimal for a few reasons. The first one is that people like it there- the weather is great. Next is that modular homes that are not attached to a foundation are considered personal property and only the land will be sold thru a Realtor.

Living in Sandy Valley is affordable and not too hot- you can grow fruit, have a garden and even raise livestock at home. Definitely a town with very few CCRs.

The population was over 2100 people in 2010, and Sandy Valley continues to grow. There are under 1000  housing structures, and 25% of the residents are under 18.

The elevation is approx. 2265 feet. It is only 10 miles to a 4311 ft. elevation peak, but just 50 miles away, there’s a mountain with an elevation of 11,837 feet. It’s not just flat desert land!

The climate is wonderful if you like dry air with blue skies, under 6 inches of rain annually, and only snow flurries. Sandy Valley seems not to be too hot or too cold. From June to September, the average high temperature is over 90 degrees.

Downtown Sandy Valley

There is no actual “Main Street,” however the area is small enough that one tour of town lets you know where everything is. Businesses in the valley include the Sandy Valley General Store and Deli, which still has a hitching post out front.

There’s also a neighborhood bar, several churches, a café, the library, a post office, and a shooting club.

The neighboring city of Goodsprings shares the Principal of the school with Sandy Valley. The local school is part of the Clark County School District, and grades K-12 are all in the same complex. It’s not unusual to see kids arrive at school on their ATV’s off the beaten path. The school has grown so much that there are now modular classrooms surrounding the main building.

Down the road are the senior citizen center, the community center, and a park. The park has shaded tables between a great jungle gym area and a baseball field. They are all together in the same area as the local volunteer fire department. The library is part of the Las Vegas Clark County Library District. The LVCCLD is an exceptional resource, and Sandy Valley enjoys the same books and media as every other Clark County library.

Sandy Valley is the home to Sky Ranch Airport and that also has a Bed and Breakfast Dude Ranch that hosts horse shows and small Rodeo events. There’s even a motocross park for the kids and tourists just a few miles down the road.

Sod Farms are lovely green crop circles in the desert. Tourist recreation adventure companies use the valley for numerous activities and entertainment.
