Have you grown tired of looking at the mass-produced, bubble-wrapped "ranchettes" that everyone seems to be offering these days? Would you like an authentic piece of the old west, complete with all the warts, the challenges, and the rewards that such a property can bring?

If the smell of horses and cattle, or the sight of a little dirt and dust offends you, this isn't the place for you. This is the genuine article, the former headquarters of a working ranch that dates back to shortly after the Civil War.

The original portion of the main house was constructed some time after the Civil War. Local lore maintaines that the stair case was salvaged from Fort Churchill after it was abandoned by the military. The house has been added to over the years, and has all the quirks, and all the charm that one expects from such a long history.

The house sits on 16.9 acres, in a grove of trees, surrounded on three sides by the original ranch property, which is now part of Lahontan Park. It has an attached two car garage. The main house, the outbuildings, and the corrals all lie on a bench below the street level, but above the valley floor. The guest house and the main gate lie at the same level as the street. and are all that someone driving by will see. This is privacy at its best.

The outbuildings include a shop, several small miscellaneous buildings, and an old barn with corrals. The ranch equipment, such as tractors, dozer, etc. can be negotiated.

This property includes an 1800 square foot manufactured home with a detached three car garage that can serve as a rental, an office, a foreman's quarters, or a home for mom and pop.
