South Creek Ranch

South Creek Ranch nestles against a backdrop of the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains from a private access road. Just west of the California/ Nevada border, it is only 17 miles from downtown Reno, NV. The farmstead site was historically the headquarters for a larger ranching operation and includes a full set of working corrals, complete with a loading chute and squeeze chute. Perimeter-fenced and cross-fenced, the current owner runs approximately 60+ pairs with replacement heifers and bulls. A large irrigation reservoir collecting water from South Creek is located along the southwest boundary. A second smaller in-stream reservoir collects water from Purdy Creek, which traverses the western portion of the ranch in a northerly direction. The ranch is developed primarily to 200 acres of irrigated meadow hay and 71 acres of irrigated pasture with a 17-acre farmstead and 48.8 acres of native grazing land. Native meadow hay production runs at 300+/- tons annually, with plenty for winter feed. Excess hay is sold by the bale.The headquarters consist of a main Mid-Century Modern residence, a caretaker or guest house, a bunkhouse and an incredible refurbished historical Stone House, a huge barn, a newer hay barn, and multiple outbuildings.PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS:336.91 acres inside working hay and cattle ranchAdjudicated water rights for 288.10 acresFenced and cross-fencedCurrently running 60+ head of pairs as well as replacement heifers and bullTop quality Meadow Grass Hay200 acres of irrigated meadow hay71 acres of irrigated pasture48.8 acres of native grazing land17-acre farmstead with 3 homes, barns, and multiple ancillary outbuildingLarge horse stalls, tack, and feed rooms in the old 6000 sf barn2,000 sqft climate-controlled shop buildingTwo ponds, one with bass and one with troutIt is a beautiful setting with huge mature shade trees, several fruit-bearing trees, and a lush lawnLovely outdoor area and patio perfect for barbeque and entertainingOld Stonehouse with ranch kitchen adjacent to outdoor entertainment areasAdjacent to Fish and Wildlife property along the northern boundaryEndless recreation opportunities with Lake Tahoe, Lakes Basin, and Reno all close byQuiet, private, and secluded with gorgeous open views yet just a mile +/- from Bordertown and 17 miles from downtown RenoAccess to Washoe County Schools by cooperation contract with Sierra County
