Stunning Sierra Valley Ranch, just 2 miles west of the quaint little town of Loyalton, CA. The Sierra Valley is the highest alpine valley in the Sierras and sits in a desirable location just 35 minutes from Reno, Nevada and just 40 minutes from Truckee, CA.  The ranch offers 360 degree views of the beautiful valley and surrounding Sierra Nevada mountains. The ranch sits at an elevation of 5000 feet so there are four distinct seasons with snow in the winter and mild summers. The ranch has abundant water. It is irrigated from Smithneck Creek and there are water rights for 410.6 acre feet of water. Numerous irrigation canals and water control structures help flood irrigate the land. If additional water were needed there is a well that can be used for irrigation and livestock water. Currently the ranch runs 220 pair for a 7 month season. There are two homes, one is the 2000 square foot main farmhouse with 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms and the second residence is a two bedroom, one bath home. There is a historic wooden barn built in 1918 that has been reinforced with sections rebuilt. It is a beautiful feature on the property but also a functional barn. There are a set of wooden working corrals and a loading chute. The ranch is fenced and cross fenced into eight separate pastures that can be used for rotational grazing. The pastures are made up of native meadow grasses but have been improved with some forage grasses and clovers.  This property is a must see for your rancher clients
