Ranch Property
For Sale:

Triple T headquarters is situated in the northern portion of Big Smokey Valley approximately 23 miles north of Carvers and 23 miles southeast of Austin. Las Vegas is approximately 270 miles south…Reno approximately 130 miles west. Big Smokey Valley splits the Toiyabe Mountains, rising sharply to the west, and the Toquima Mountains, sloping to the East. Both ranges support peaks in excess of 11,700’ ASL elevating from a valley floor of approximately 6,000’. Historic central Nevada ranching mystique is still well expressed at the TTT.

The TTT deeded, BLM and USFS exceeds over SIXTY THOUSAND ACRES. The area is steeped in mining history dating back to the 1860’s which was soon followed by farming and ranching to meet the demands of area miners. Round Mountain Gold, Smokey Valley Common Operation, is located approximately 30 miles to the south and is reportedly the largest gold mine of its type in the world.

Although currently part of the R O Ranch, the TTT is a stand alone operation capable of maintaining approximately 500-600 AUs on a year long basis. The ranch consists basically of three deeded parcels tied with BLM and USFS permits. 2008 plans to install a new pivot (gravity flow pressure) utilizing existing water, will make for an easy to operate, family and/or one employee unit. A permit has been approved for a supplemental well to assure late season irrigation. Any prospective Buyer interested in a central Nevada ranch will find the allurement of the TTT and surrounding area very enticing.

ESTIMATED CAPACITY: With the installation of the 2008 pivot the TTT should rate comfortably at 600 AU’s on a year long basis. The ranch is basically a beef factory with limited alternative economic function.

White Sage (Winter Fat), 4 Wing, Schadscale And Bud Sage Are The Predominate Winter Forage With Native Grasses Providing Other Seasonal Feed.

2007 Weaning Weights Averaged 440# Both Steers, & Heifers. Combined

The primary water source at the HQ’s unit is Baumann Creek, which is conveyed via a concrete lined ditch to a small reservoir. Large springs provide irrigation for both the Adobe and Blue Springs pastures.

The new pivot will be of gravity pressure and cover approximately 120 acres about half of which is currently irrigated.

In addition to irrigation water there are numerous springs, seeps, seasonal streams and wells which provide stock water throughout the range.

The main home is a recently remodeled 3 BR, 2 bath home in top condition. In addition there are two newer doublewide modular homes in good condition. A 7 stall concrete block horse/calving barn with tack room, good set of pipe Corrals with working pens and hydraulic squeeze chute.

The Triple T (TTT) provides an excellent opportunity to own a traditional central Nevada "buckaroo" operation. Minimal labor requirements, outside winter range and convenient cattle flow should provide a better than average return when combined with proper management.
