Beautifully Updated Historic Gem

What I Love:

There is something wonderfully nostalgic about this pair of historic Silver City properties. Both parcels together offer nearly a full acre of peaceful space, mountain air, and timeless character, yet the interiors still feel warm and thoughtfully refreshed. The 70 Fourth Street home welcomes you with rich wood floors, sunlit windows, a bright open-concept layout, and beautiful wooden ceilings accented by exposed beams that instantly give the space heart and texture. The loft adds extra room for sleeping or lounging, while the updated kitchen, full bathroom, and convenient laundry area make everyday living surprisingly comfortable for a vintage retreat. The covered deck offers a quiet landing place to breathe, relax, and enjoy the gentle stillness of the surroundings.

Along with its .61-acre lot, the property also includes additional structures: one perfect for storage and another larger shed that can easily flex into a workshop or creative studio. The included 285 Main Street parcel adds even more possibility. Its .33-acre lot brings the total to .94 acres, and while its main structure does not currently have a working septic system, it still offers potential as an office or extra storage space. Both parcels together create endless options for expansion, creative use, or building something new. And although the offering is being sold as is, it still presents a meaningful opportunity for weekenders, full-time residents, or buyers looking for a unique investment or project with rich Silver City spirit.

About the Town:

Silver City carries the charm of a small Nevada community shaped by history, rugged landscape, and a gentle, unhurried rhythm. The hills surrounding town glow with warm tones at sunrise, and the evenings often feel like the perfect moment to slow down and breathe in the desert air. Quiet roads, starry skies, and the preserved character of local buildings give the area a sense of authenticity that is rare and grounding.

Nearby, you’ll find easy access to local culture, small dining spots, and the creative energy that defines this historic region. The town attracts artists, makers, outdoor explorers, and anyone who appreciates peaceful living with character. Whether you enjoy scenic drives, desert walks, or simply unwinding on a porch with wide-open views, Silver City offers a lifestyle that feels both inspiring and deeply restorative.
