BLM to Sell 13,300 Acres of Rural Nevada Public Lands

The Bureau of Land Management is scheduled at 10 a.m., Wednesday, Feb. 9, 2005, to offer for sale to the public approximately 13,300 acres of agency-administered public lands located in southeastern Lincoln County, Nev. The public auction will be held inside Mesquite City Hall, at 10 East Mesquite Blvd., in Mesquite, Nev.

The oral competitive auction is in compliance with the Lincoln County Conservation, Recreation and Development Act, signed into law by President Bush on Nov. 30, 2004. A portion of the act stipulates that the BLM offer the aforementioned lands to the public within 75 days of the act’s passage.

The to-be sold public lands will be offered in eight parcels that range in size from 666 to 4,357 acres. Bidding will begin at each parcel’s appraised value, which ranges from $299,000 to $4,662,000.

The BLM has contracted with the General Services Administration to help facilitate the sale. General sale information may be obtained at GSA's website. Specific information on the available parcels is available on the BLM Ely Field office website. Interested individuals may also contact Kevin Finn, BLM Ely Field Office realty specialist, at (775) 289-1849.
