Virginia City Highlands & surrounding land

- Review recorded CC&Rs, any HOA or road association, current dues, architectural rules and resale documents.
- For acreage or land, confirm zoning, legal access, road maintenance, utility availability and separately documented water or irrigation rights.
- Confirm well or septic systems where applicable, flood exposure and property insurance availability early in your review.
- For regional job connections, check the actual route and travel conditions. A regional employment corridor does not establish a fixed commute time.
