Austin, NV 89310 - Lander County

Introducing the Smith Creek Ranch, a remarkable property for sale in Austin, Nevada. Spanning an expansive 195,000 acres, this ranch offers an impressive year-round capacity for 900 cows and holds a highly coveted 12-month BLM permit. With a great winter permit and the opportunity for summer grazing in the majestic mountains, the Smith Creek Ranch provides a diverse and flexible environment for cattle ranching. The ranch also has a development easement on the deeded land. This easement does not affect the capacity or grazing capabilities of the ranch but rather serves to limit development on the deeded ground. The positive aspect of this easement is that it has prompted the ranch to implement an outcome-based grazing plan, ensuring adaptability based on prevailing conditions. Additionally, the easement contributes to the proper management of the feral horse herd, maintaining their population at the correct management number. Not only does the Smith Creek Ranch operate under an outcome-based grazing program, but it also maintains a strict horse number and provides stored water for irrigation. With notable features such as a historic horse barn and a meticulously restored Pony Express station, the ranch seamlessly blends a touch of history with modern amenities. Equipped with a reliable off-grid power system, the Smith Creek Ranch operates efficiently and offers an unparalleled level of privacy.
