PROPERTY INFORMATION

 


1.03 acres of land for sale nestled between Elko and Spring Creek, Nevada with beautiful views of the Ruby Mountains and hardly anyone around! It sits in an secluded rural, off grid country setting in the lower foothills of the Elko Hills about 2.5 hours S of Twin Falls, Idaho and 5 hours NE of Reno, NV. It’s not too far from town and close to some fabulous fishing holes including South Fork State Rec Area! All of the photos were taken April 2013 about 2 miles west of this property for sale in Last Chance Ranch Unit 2 which is the closest I have been to this property in the past several years. I also included a little video I made on my journey to this unit in 2006. Its located about 2 miles NE of Spring Creek and 7 miles E of Elko as the crow flies. The roads that lead along the section lines were actually in decent shape as seen in the video. The roads along the blocks were overgrown. There is power running just under a less than a mile to the NW but still quite a ways away. The area was tall scattered sage brush that was greening early in the spring. It sits tucked in the Elko Hills with a gradual rolling hill that slopes to the east. There are sweeping views from the SE to the NE of the Ruby Mountains that pop out behind the Elko Hills – my notes said yayyyy! From the NW to the NE are the treed Elko Hills – my notes again say “expansive views”! I really thought this had some great views tucked in the Elko Hills – a very private rural area off the beaten path yet pretty close to the bustling town of Elko! Called the Swiss Alps of Nevada, the Ruby Mountains snow capped peaks reach up to 11,317 feet at Ruby Dome! Oh I love to marvel at them each time I visit. Sometimes they are filled with snow, sometimes a burnt orange in fall colors, always changing and always stunning! Part of the Humboldt National Forest, the largest forest in the lower 48 states, lies within the Ruby Mountains! I see a structure on Google Earth 2 blocks to the north but otherwise I do not see anyone else out in this area. I studied the way they were taking to get to the property and it appears they are coming in from the SE. There are several roads that lead out to this section and a major road called Boyd Kennedy comes in a few miles to the SE and then bends up to the NE. It looks like it goes up to the top of the Elko Hills and I was thinking that might go up to where those towers are to the N. You definitely will need to do some exploring to find the best way in. I don’t think very many people are going to find you out here at this time! The Last Chance Ranch sits just NE of Spring Creek as seen in the maps. Spring Creek is a bedroom community about ten minutes south of the town of Elko and the Northeastern Nevada Regional Hospital sits just on the other side of the hill to the west on the Lamoille Highway. So it’s about a 20 minute drive to downtown Elko for a garlic steak sandwich at the Star Hotel! I myself own land overlooking the Ruby Mountains and I keep telling myself someday I am going to build myself a little place there and watch it snow on the Ruby Mountains! Within an hour’s drive of the property are some famous fishing holes, Wildhorse Reservoir, Ruby Lake, and South Fork Reservoir!

Wildhorse Reservoir is a 2,800 acre premium trout reservoir 60 miles north of the town of Elko. In 2011 I ran into some men who had just hauled a 350 pound elk from the Wild Horse State Recreation Area and of course I have included photos of those as well! Hunters know the area for its elk, deer, mountain lion and bird but it's the fishermen that tell tall stories about ice fishing at Wildhorse. Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge sits on the SE side of the Ruby Mountains. With over 12,000 acres this area is a special habitat to over 207 species of birds providing feeding, nesting and a resting stop in the Pacific Flyway. On one of my first visits to Elko County some nice gentlemen told me that Ruby Lake was the best fishing in the state! South Fork Reservoir and State Rec area is about 20 minutes S of Elko. It covers 1,650 acres and is surrounded by 2,200 acres of wildlife-filled meadow land and rolling hills and known for its trophy-class trout and bass. I thought it would be a great getaway spot for someone to hang out in their RV and enjoy the deer and view of the Rubies as well as a good investment in the meantime. Imagine the change in the colors in the valley and mountain sides with the seasons! I've seen signs along the interstate as well as the main drag thru town that say HIRING and it’s been difficult to get a hotel room Monday thru Thursday because of all of the workers coming to this area to work during the week. Elko continues to be a growing area even in this difficult economy and I continue to think that these lots so close to town are a good investment. And every time I put one of these up for sale they are gone pretty quick! Char the Explorer : )

A video of my journeys thru Meadow Valley Ranchos Unit 11, the Hamilton-Bullion Trail and the South Fork State Reservoir where I sat thru a cattle drive in Elko, Nevada!

 

The Hamilton-Bullion Trail is an 11 mile loop for horses, hikers and mountain bikers. It goes from Elko onto BLM land and over hills offering scenic views of the Ruby Mountains, South Fork Reservoir and the Humboldt River. South Fork covers 1,650 acres and is surrounded by 2,200 acres of wildlife-filled meadow land and rolling hills. Known for its trophy-class trout and bass, and bird watching.

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 population of Elko County is over 52,000, the town of Elko is over 18,000 and the town of Spring Creek is 12,000. Lately, Elko has evolved into a showcase for Western American Folk Art. Long famous for the National Basque Festival, held each Independence Day, a new era in Elko's cultural history began in 1985, when the first Cowboy Poetry Gathering was held. Estimates are 8000 - 10000 people attended the festival this January!

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, with the Ruby Mountains stretching across it in a north-south direction. The elevation in the valleys is about 5000 and reaches up to 11,300 feet at Ruby Dome. The elevation of Pilot Peak on the east side of Elko County reaches up to 10,716 feet. 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!
