PROPERTY INFORMATION
10 acres of land for sale in Montello Nevada about 7 miles NW of town near the Gamble Ranch in the lower foothills of the Toano Mountains. It’s by the Idaho Utah Nevada state lines by Wendover and Wells in Elko County. It is about 2.5 hours W of Salt Lake City, 1.5 hours E of Elko and 6 hours N of Las Vegas. The property is zoned for either a home or RV and adjoins 6 square mile of BLM land! 5 star view of the Pilot Mountains and Toano Mountains! It’s in a rural off the beaten path valley with wild horses and antelope roaming!

All of the photos were taken in April 2012 only 30 acres east of this property in the NE corner of the section. I believe you can see this property looking towards the close by Toano Mountains in image #14, 15 & 40. The image #’s are at the top of the images. The section line road headed north and east are both bladed to that point although they are overgrown from lack of use. I definitely suggest a truck to access this area. I think you can drive over the tundra but you better bring some walking shoes as I’m not sure about the big rolling hills.

The pictures are worth a thousand words and brought a huge smile to my face going thru them just now! The Toano Mountains sit close by from the NW to the SW and continue on down to the S. There are pretty trees that filter down the hillsides she is so close by and it looks in the aerial photos that some of them are scattered across the property. This property is tucked into these lower foothills with a gentle roll in the hills between the intermittent streams. It slopes down from the west to the east towards the valley floor.

Just to the north of the property is the Gamble Canyon which is one of the jeep trails that takes you west thru these mountains. I have explored the west side of these mountains and it is miles of jeep trails to explore with antelope running around. I have seen a few hunters and people exploring land coming out of these canyons as well. Apparently there are elk out here although I have not seen them myself but in October 2014 we were stopped by a hunter with a quad asking if we had seen any elk. He said they liked to hang out in the mountain just across the valley to the west. He also commented on a few people that had improved their properties on the west side of the mountains.

It has sweeping views of the Pilot Mountains Range from the NE to the SE. Pilot Peak sits to the SE at 10,716 feet and my oh my does this have some gorgeous views! Her peaks are ever changing with the seasons! Rhyolite Butte is a beautiful fascinating rock mesa at 5,965 feet sits at the NE end of this range and can be seen across the Tecoma Valley! When you get up close it really is pretty to look at and shoots straight up in the air, such a unique shape.

This property adjoins 6 sections of BLM lands (Bureau of Land Management) on its northern property line as seen in the parcel and BLM map. A section = 1 square mile = 640 acres. BLM land is orange and private land is white. For more information on BLM land you can visit BLM.gov.

There is a dedicated easement surrounding each parcel for ingress and egress on the parcel map. This land was once part of the large Gamble Ranch and it is open range land. This was split up many years ago but there still is the old ranch to the north of Montello. It is a beautiful drive up to this ranch and the road takes you on an incredible drive through a narrow fertile valley with gorgeous crops growing along the river!

In 2012 I drove around the Pilot Mountains and included several photos and a video of it in the additional photos area. I found deer, elk, antelope, rabbits, a mirage on the Great Salt Lake Desert, and the pink, orange and purple sunset over the Pilot Mountains! I am not sure what's more stunning, the way the dry salt flat looks like real water or the stunning elk! Loved it!

A few locals educated me about how sacred these mountains were to the natives who lived here many years ago when we stopped in for a bite to eat at the Cowboy Bar Cafe in 2012. They told me that the Pilot Mountains, Toano Mountains and the valley between is filled with arrows, old sewing needs and lots more remnants from those who lived here many, many years ago!

We stopped at the Cowboy Bar Café again in 2013 for a bite to eat and to warm up and met a couple cowboys that said they worked at the Gamble Ranch and I spent the next hour bending their ear! They said it had been a very cold winter and it was common for some cattle to die and we had just finished picking up a big skull out by this property. I included a few photos in the additional photos area of these truly nice gentlemen - thanks guys!

Pilot Valley is the very first place I ever saw a herd of wild horses! I had heard about them before and they were so stunning – standing there watching me across the valley – tails blowing in the wind! I love my job - TYG!


This is a very rural and remote valley well off the beaten path with a few people scattered up and down it and with the town of Montello, population 138, being the hub for the valley. It offers a gas/mini grocery store, post office and restaurant. I don't ever recall NOT seeing an antelope when I visited this valley and I have seen wild horses roaming out here as well - absolutely stunning when you see them for your first time!

In 2013 we came across some people out exploring on a side by side just N of Montello. It was a family with a young child with them and they said they were out shedding. I asked what shedding was and learned that they were collecting antlers from the antelope and others that had shed them...ya ok I got it – fun photo below! : )

Elko is about 2 hours to the west where you will find a hospital and major shopping. Wendover is a larger town to the SE about an hour on Interstate 80 and people in this valley commute there for work as well as groceries. There is also a mine that has been expanding its operations along I80 to the S.

The photos are worth a thousand words and to really see just how beautiful this property for sale is be sure and read the hint below on how to get these photos to be as big as possible when viewing them! Oh it is pretty the trees filtering down the hillsides in the nearby Toano Mountains. Zoned for either a home, manufactured home or RV, I think this would be a beautiful spot for someone seeking a rural off grid place to make a getaway! Enjoy! Char the Explorer : )

Elko County Montello Area Photos

All of these photos were taken on our journeys to the small town of Montello, Nevada and Elko County! Located in NE Nevada near the Idaho/Utah/Nevada state lines, Montello is a small community but offers a gas/mini grocery store, post office and restaurant.

In January 2015 I spoke to Elko County Public Works Dept and was told they were putting in a metered water station in Montello where you can get drinkable water to haul. The county is in charge of it and access is thru a key pad with a pin # for a monthly fee. You can contact them for further information.

Wendover is a larger town to the SE on I80 and people in this valley commute there for work as well and groceries.

The big town of Elko is about 1.5 hours to the west where you will find a hospital and major shopping. The population of Elko County is over 52,000. The Great Salt Lake sits on the other side of the Pilot Mountains to the east and Salt Lake City is about two hours away. Reno sits on the other side of the state.

The valley is surrounded by two mountain ranges with Pilot Peak to the East and the Toano Mountain Range to the East. The elevation of Pilot Peak reaches up to 10,716 feet.

A video I made of my drive around the E side of the Pilot Mountain Range and the Great Sale Lake Desert in June 2012. It was filled with elk! Incredible!

 

Elko County is located in northeastern Nevada, 295 miles east of Reno and 237 miles west of Salt Lake City. With 17,135 square miles it is one of the largest counties in the USA and is the heart of NE Nevada. A book listing American towns with the highest quality of life declared Elko, Nevada, "The Best Small Town in America."

It is a small city, and a booming trading and service center for a mining and ranching area roughly the size of New England. In 2005 Relocate-America.com has named Elko City as 1 of the "Top 100 Places To Live" in the United States.

The weather in Elko County is considered ideal by many. Summer finds hot, dry afternoons with temperatures in the 90s, cooling to the low 40s and 50s by morning. Winters are moderate with lows typically in the 20s or 30s. Daytime highs during the winter months are in the 40s or 50s. Snowfall averages 42 inches per year and generally melts quickly. Yearly rainfall ranges from 9 to 10.5 inches. Sunny skies are usually seen over 300 days a year!

The land is mountainous and interspersed with low, flat valleys. The Humboldt River flows through the county. Elko County provides unlimited recreational opportunities with fishing, big game hunting (mule deer, elk, antelope and bighorn sheep), snowmobiling, ice fishing, mountain biking, hiking, camping, boating and skiing.

A video of my first journey around the Ruby Mountains in June 2004! Includes Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge, the Humboldt River and the Last Chance Ranch II by Spring Creek and Elko, Nevada!
