Incredible big chunk of land in the hills of the Ninemile Mountains overlooking 21 Mile Draw! Stunning!

---

This fabulous 40 acres is located in a rural area in northeastern Nevada, approximately 14 miles northwest of the town of Montello as the crow flies. All of the photos were taken in July of 2008 of the property and surrounding views. This sure was a fun and beautiful piece of land to explore! It is in foothills of the Ninemile Mountains overlooking Twentyone Mile Draw and the Toano Mountains! Montello is a small town of about 480 people sitting in the northeastern corner of Nevada not too far from the Utah/Nevada/Idaho state line. We took a road out to this area north of Wells by the Winecup Ranch and this road lead due east out over the southern tip of the Ninemile Mountains and right through this property! Unbelievable! We saw survey tape along the road where we estimated the east side of the property was using the gps as seen in one of the photos below.

The property sits in one of these foothills covered with beautiful healthy trees that were covered in pretty blue colored berries! The property is made up of rolling hills going up one hill and back down to the next. There is an awesome view of the 21 Mile Draw from the northeast to the southeast - Awesome! Across the draw is a beautiful view of the Toano Mountain Range - very pretty! There are great views of the NineMile Peaks from the west to the northwest. The peaks are big and beautiful and since you're part of the same mountain the views of the peaks are fabulous! This land was once part of the Gamble Ranch north of Montello.

We have supplied several maps above showing where the property sits and the roads that lead out to the area. The aerial photos shows the jeep trail running through the property. We recently granted a 50 foot easement through the property to Ruby Pipeline LLC that contains about 1.536 acres. They will be constructing a pipeline to carry natural gas from the Rocky Mountain region to growing markets in the western USA. I believe this pipeline follows the road we found through the property - that is a guess though. They will be constructing this pipeline within the next year and are to leave the property in the same condition it was found in. I do believe that this will improve the road to this property even more since they will need to bring in their equipment as they construct this pipeline. We have copies of the easement above. They expect to have this completed within the next year.

This parcel adjoins 640 acres of BLM land on the east side of the property!! For information on BLM land visit BLM.gov. The parcel map shows an intermittent stream running through the east side of the property. It was dry when we drove through it.

I can't say enough about how beautiful I thought this land was. This valley is surrounded by an abundance of wildlife in two mountain ranges! If you have been looking for a place to get away from it all while you hunt or explore be sure and check this out! It is definitely off the beaten path and you will need a truck and even better a 4wd in places to get through some of the places where the intermittent streams run but for the most part it was a very fun and adventurous drive out to the property. This would be a terrific place for a sportsman looking for a place to get away from it all and hang out and do some hunting! My notes say "Fabulous plus a bag of chip"! Enjoy! Char the Explorer : )

AREA INFORMATION: Update June 2009 This time the trip was a family trip with me (Char), Mark, Amber and Buddy. We swung down into Winnemucca, then over to Elko and back home through Wildhorse. I had heard from a few of the locals that it had rained there every day for the past 30 days. One of the gals in the assessors office let me know that she had seen wildflowers blooming that she had never seen before! I read in the Elko newspaper that it was the second wettest June on record, the first being in 1913 and the records go back to 1888! A total of 10.71 inches of rain has fallen since October 1, 2008, well above the average water year of 9.59 inches - and there's still a few more months to go! We were amazed at the fabulous green scapes that draped the hills and valleys. It was so incredibly beautiful!! The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has issued a draft study of the proposed $3 billion Ruby Pipeline that would go through Elko County carrying natural gas from Wyoming through Utah and Nevada and into Oregon. We happened to own 40 acres of land that this proposed 50 foot easement goes through and we recently granted an easement to Ruby Pipeline for this. I thought this would improve the road to the property. The project will require about 3000 workers to complete including 100 or so in the Elko and Wells area and it is estimated the investment in Elko County would be $716 million. Wow again! As always I will keep my ears open for more information on this. The big "E" on the Elko Hills with the Ruby Mountains looming behind them - you can see Ruby Dome still had plenty of snow on her! These next pictures were taken about 10 miles NE of Elko near River Valley Ranches. The Ruby Mountains had snow in her peaks still and the valley and Adobe Range were so green! Amber playing ball with Buddy - he was so happy to get out of the truck for a while and play ball!       The hillsides were so green and thats the North Fork of the Humboldt River flowing through the valley below: The new building for the mining company looks like the outside is near finished and wildflowers blooming along the roadside by Wildhorse:   These next photos were taken of Wildhorse - beautiful pelicans were enjoying the afternoon along with lots of fishermen and campers!       Update May 2009: My first chance to see Elko County this spring was a beautiful welcome sight! The reeds along the Humboldt River were a beautiful orangish/red and the valley was green. The Ruby Mountains were loaded with snow and Pilot Peak out by Montello still had quite a bit on her as well! I noticed a new building along the main drag in town and was told it is one of the mining companies moving headquarters into town! A local realtor was saying that although the prices of land had dropped the prices in Elko had remained strong with only a slight drop in value. And the mines and mineral exploration continue to do very well. An article in the Wall Street Journal in April 2009 stated "Mining companies are keeping the construction industry humming and adding jobs in mountainous Elko, Nev. Gold fever has inoculated this historic cow town from the state's economic malaise, making it an island of relative prosperity in a state flooded with unemployed workers." It goes on to discuss the impact the price of gold is having on Elko at over $800 an ounce, tight rental-housing market and the thousand of job applications the mines are receiving compared to a year ago when they were having to hold job fairs to attract workers. Beautiful reddish/orange reeds lined the Humboldt River!   A new building for one of the mining companies moving headquarters into the town of Elko by the airport!           A beautiful spring up in the Toano Mountain Range!   The Christmas tree along Hwy 233 that marks the entrance into the road to Cobre out near Montello. This also takes you up into the Toano Mountains:   The strip along Montello was busy as always and there was plenty of snow on Pilot Peak!   Some of the locals in the Toano Mountain Range:   Elko County is located in northeastern Nevada, 295 miles east of Reno and 237 miles west of Salt Lake City. Click Here for Elko's road map. With 17,135 square miles it is one of the largest counties in the USA. 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. If is a very friendly town where it is common to see kids with belt buckles bigger than themselves being worn proudly! I am always up for a trip to Elko County to explore land and have actually saved a 20 acre piece there for myself in hopes of watching it snow on the Ruby Mountains some year! Enjoy the pictures from my journey below but be sure and click on the Elko County link to see the rest! The rest of the pictures below were taken on our many visits to Elko. For more pictures from our journeys and information about the area be sure and click on our Elko County web page link below! The big "E" in the Elko Hills above the town of Elko with Ruby Dome looming large in the Ruby Mountains in the distance. Called the Swiss Alps of Nevada, Ruby Dome reaches up to 11,300 feet:   Wild horses in Pilot Valley on the east side of the county near Wendover and Montello! I've seen them twice now out there - fabuluos!   The bright lights of Wendover at night! Wendover is a bustling little gambling town located on the Nevada/Utah State line:    The rural town of Montello.         The famous Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge. 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. I asked these two men from California, who had just came from fishing down at Ruby Lake, if this was their favorite fishing place in this county and they let me know that this was the best fishing place in the state!   Wildhorse Reservoir north of Elko and a cattle drive near Wildhorse on one of my first trips ever to Elko! My job doesn't get any better than that!   For more of our pictures of the area and information on the county click here: Elko County Links to additional information: City of Elko Website Elko County Official Website History of Elko County Here is an interesting link for you to check out from a previous customer of ours, Montello Alpaca Company, who is building a home and an alpaca ranch in Montello.
