Description of the Land
|
This is a unique ranch property. It is located in Northeastern Nevada in an area of scenic beauty, not just within the confines of the ranch, but for a radius of 50 miles around the ranch.
Its location is in one of the major deer hunting areas of Nevada with deer residing in not only the high mountain areas, but also in the lower elevations. Antelope are present throughout the area and some 20 miles north is an area, which has been acquired by the Elk Foundation and has a growing population of elk. The ranch is in the area of one of the highest sage hen populations in the state of Nevada. There are a number of fishable streams within 20 miles of the property and Wildhorse Reservoir, one of the notable fisheries of the State, is an easy one-hour drive away. One little known feature of the ranch is a storage reservoir located on the private land, which the Nevada Division of Wildlife has investigated as a possible location for planting red band trout, a species native to the Bruneau River system and limited in number. The Division of Wildlife would plant the reservoir and with a license, private fishing could be continued with the request that fish capable of spawning would remain in the reservoir to later be milked for their eggs and placed in a hatchery. Therefore, this area has available almost all game common to Northern Nevada.
The elevation of the headquarters of this ranch, 6,360 feet, provides relatively cool days during the summers, with the nights usually requiring a jacket. The ranch includes Mason Mountain, with an elevation of 7,473 feet, which provides vistas unparalleled in the Great Basin Region. The ranch is accessed by 56 miles of highway from Elko and approximately 16 miles of county maintained gravel roads, a trip of approximately one and a half hours during the late Spring, Summer and early Fall. Spring and fall storms may make the last 16 miles impassible for a short period. In the winter, the gravel road is not maintained and access to the property is by snowmobile. As snowmobiling in this area has become a popular winter sport, the area now provides year-round recreation.
The ranch is composed of approximately 3,700 acres in a block being approximately 4 miles from north to south and up to 3 miles from east to west. This expanse of private lands coupled with small live waters would allow release of upland game birds for private hunts. In addition, the expanse and topography provides an opportunity to travel and ride on privately owned lands.
Within an easy driving distance there is Jarbidge, a historic mining town, Copper Mountain at an elevation of 9,800 feet, the Jarbidge Wilderness area, the headwaters of Marys River, Wildhorse Reservoir, Mountain City and the town of Tuscarora in the Independence Valley. In addition, the area has mile upon mile of 4x4 roads, with every mile showing something of interest. Northeastern Nevada has been interesting to such notables as Bing Crosby, who owned the PX Ranch. |
