Sierra Spirit Ranch - A Rare Nevada Legacy Ranch. Welcome to Sierra Spirit Ranch (SSR), a truly exceptional property tucked within a greenbelt of the Pinenut Mountains. This ranch includes water rights, 2 agricultural wells, fenced fields, Pinenut Creek, and a 360-degree view of the mountains and the Carson Valley. There is a sweeping view of the Sierra Nevadas to the West and the Pinenut Mountains to the East. Set on 21.7 private acres and surrounded by BLM land, this one-of-a-kind ranch delivers unmatched seclusion, sweeping views, and a lifestyle defined by beauty, freedom, and possibility. At an elevation of 5700', the property is 15 minutes from Gardnerville, accessed via a 3-mile county-maintained dirt road (Pinenut Road #2). Despite its peaceful remoteness, SSR is ideally located only 1 hour from Reno Tahoe International Airport and 45 minutes to Heavenly and South Lake Tahoe. Wildlife abounds, from a wide variety of birds to iconic wild mustangs that frequently roam past the fence line. Evenings here bring unforgettable sunsets and brilliantly starlit skies, while the surrounding landscape offers limitless opportunities for horseback riding, mountain biking, dirt biking, hiking, or off-road vehicle exploring in every direction right out the side gate. The lower 8-acre field currently brings in around 1000dollars/month for horses and goats. The Ranch has just under 14 acre feet of water rights, making it a very valuable water rights property. Main Residence - 2680 sqft; 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, + bonus room. This beautifully remodeled single-level ranch home offers panoramic mountain views out every window. The home features an open-concept design with abundant natural light, engineered hardwood flooring throughout, and a spacious kitchen and dining area that flows into a stunning 680 sq ft family room. The 2 full bathrooms have heated tile floors. Each bedroom has mountain views. Renovation updates in 2020 include: new appliances, cabinets, engineered wood floor, James Hardie concrete siding, windows, and roof. Guest House - 704sqft; 1 bedroom, 1 bath. Fully remodeled in 2019, this charming guest home offers an open layout with mountain views and abundant natural light. Renovation updates include: new appliances, cabinets, counters, windows, heated tile in the kitchen and bathroom, a heat/ac split unit, and a metal roof. The RV Garage & Studio Sunroom - 1664 sqft. Constructed with 2x8 walls for added insulation and strength, this versatile structure is divided into two expansive 52' x 16' spaces. The Studio Sunroom is a standout feature—bright, inspiring, and truly a must-see. Renovated in 2023 with new windows, siding, concrete flooring, and a metal roof. The Workshop - 768 sqft. An open, functional workspace with stunning Sierra Nevada views, upgraded in 2022 with new windows, siding, and a metal roof—perfect for projects, storage, or creative pursuits. Sierra Spirit Ranch is more than a property—it's a lifestyle. With major improvements already completed, you're free to focus on what matters most: gardening, ranching, recreation, or simply soaking in the peace and natural beauty that surrounds you. Enjoy morning coffee as wild mustangs pass by, and end your days with stunning sunsets followed by vast, star-filled skies. With abundant sunshine, fresh mountain air, mature fruit trees, a lavender farm, and pristine spring water, this is a place to truly reconnect—with nature, with others, and with yourself.
