The South Smoke Creek Ranch is a 1,165 acre Northern Nevada ranch with roots dating back to 1857 along the historic Noble Emigrant Trail. Located just 2 hours north of Reno, the ranch offers a blend of tranquility and accessibility, providing seclusion while still easily accessible by County maintained roads. The ranch is nearly completely surrounded by Public Lands.
The Ranch is as unique as it is scenic; comprised of native ranch land, expansive sub irrigated meadows, a 7+/- acre reservoir and over 6 miles of year-round riparian stream corridor. There is a carefully thought out NRCS conservation easement recorded on a portion of the property (approx. 17 years remaining), reflecting a commitment to environmental stewardship while preserving the propertys inherent beauty and historic ranch operations.

The Ranch is as unique as it is scenic; comprised of native ranch land, expansive sub irrigated meadows, a 7+/- acre reservoir and over 6 miles of year-round riparian stream corridor. There is a carefully thought out NRCS conservation easement recorded on a portion of the property (approx. 17 years remaining), reflecting a commitment to environmental stewardship while preserving the propertys inherent beauty and historic ranch operations. The NRCS has made significant investments in the ranch, particularly in fencing and stream corridor preservation, safeguarding its ecological integrity for generations to come. Importantly, this easement does not impede the development of prime building areas, offering flexibility for prospective owners.
The Ranch includes valuable Nevada water rights, ensuring a reliable water supply for agricultural and recreational activities.
The South Smoke Creek Ranch is quiet, private and provides for historic cattle grazing (approx. 600-800 AUMs). The ranch is completely fenced and features a variety of native wildlife with excellent game bird, water fowl and small game hunting. Hunt clubs are permitted on the ranch. There are no existing improvements on the South Smoke Creek ranch, which provides for an owner/investor to develop their own ranch headquarters and desired improvements.
The South Smoke Creek Ranch is located in tax friendly Nevada and includes the attributes one would expect in prime Nevada ranch land. This is an exceptional opportunity for an investor/buyer!
