About this House
What's unique:Pine forestNearly endless open spaceNatural springAbundant wildlifeYear-round creekYear-round water
Some properties are simply owned. Others become part of a legacy. Smithneck Creek Ranch offers nearly 356 acres at the edge of the Sierra Valley, where year-round Smithneck Creek winds through open meadows, pine forest and an extraordinary landscape shaped by mother nature. The ranch encompasses approximately 160 acres of Timberland Production Zone, 80 acres of General Forestry and 116 acres of Agriculture, creating a remarkable blend of productive ground, forest and recreation. Approximately 50 acres have historically been used for alfalfa production, with seasonal cattle grazing supporting approximately 30 pairs. All mineral rights are included, while the natural spring, year-round creek and seven runoff-catch ponds provide a remarkable collection of water resources across the property. Bordering U.S. Forest Service land, Smithneck Creek Ranch offers exceptional privacy and direct access to a landscape made for hunting, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, camping and exploring. Abundant wildlife, year-round water and nearly endless open space make this an extraordinary setting for a working ranch, private mountain estate, family retreat or recreational legacy property. The Sierra County General Plan designates the property for potential 5- and 10-acre parcels, subject to applicable county and regulatory approvals, adding another dimension to its long-term possibilities. Despite its sense of seclusion, the ranch offers convenient access just three miles from Loyalton and approximately 43 miles from Reno, with Truckee, Lake Tahoe, Graeagle, the Lakes Basin, Frenchman Lake and Lake Davis all within easy reach. Smithneck Creek Ranch is more than acreage. It is water, forest, meadow and freedom—a rare opportunity to become the steward of an extraordinary piece of the Sierra Valley.
