About 19320 89 Highway

When Mark Twain famously remarked about the Sierra Nevada, The mountains are imposing in their sublimity & their majesty of form & altitude, from any point of view..'' it's easy to imagine he was writing this from the 630.93 acre Davis Ranch in Alpine County, CA, just a short 26-minute drive south of Minden/Gardnerville, NV. As you enter the property through the mighty timber gates, you'll be greeted by the charming love shack,' a rustic cabin with bunk beds. Just outside, a brick-laden outdoor eating area features a stone-crafted fireplace & BBQ. Recently expanded 5 BD/3 BA modular home with an oversized four-car garage sits nestled. The entire property generates enough solar power to be completely off the grid, with a backup propane generator & a 1,000-gallon propane tank. Enviable water throughout the ranch with over 794 acre-feet of surface water rights from year-round Randall Springs Creek & Indian Creek. Additional water on the property includes springs, ponds, & two ag wells in the meadow pastures. These water resources support a total of 300 irrig. acres, with an additional 50 acres benefiting from sub-irrig. The abundant irrig. pastures support about 159 yearlings & 10 bulls seasonally with a cattle lease in place. See prop. brochure for more information.
