BURNS HERMITAGE GUEST RANCH, HUNTING RANCH, RETREAT REMOTE EASTERN PORTION OF LINCOLN COUNTY, NEVADA
In my 20 years in the Real Estate business, specializing in unique properties, the Burns Hermitage ranch, consisting of 160 deeded acres, is the most remote, isolated ranch retreat I’ve ever seen! When the pavement ends from Nevada or Utah you are approx. 50 miles from this property on well maintained but sparsely traveled dirt roads. This is an area of Nevada where 98% of the land is BLM land. The 160 acres is completely surrounded by BLM land.
Distances from civilization, 70 miles from Pioche NV., 90 miles from Ely NV., 110 miles from St. George, Utah, 100 miles from Cedar City, Utah, 55 miles from Great Basin National Park, 250 miles from Las Vegas and 400 miles from Reno! Elevation ranges from 6300 ft. to 6700 ft.
Jim and Mary Burns purchased the property from Father Leo of the Caliente Catholic Church in 1992. The property had been used by the Church as a Monastery for Catholic Monks. Jim and Mary had been big game hunters for years. When they ran across the Hermitage property for sale it was a perfect fit as they recognized that some of the best hunting in the U.S. for Trophy Elk and Mule Deer was in the Mountain ranges between Nevada and Utah. This is hunting area 231 in Nevada and the Southern region for Utah.
The improvements on the property include five cabins, two are duplex’s. The owner’s home includes a state of the art commercial kitchen and group dining area. The Burns retrofitted all the cabins with indoor plumbing, toilets, sinks, kitchens and kitchenettes. One of the cabins includes a spacious recreation room with a pool table, 52 inch TV, videos and board games! One of the cabins is the old Sanctuary used by the Monks! All cabins are completely and tastefully furnished including bedding, towels, dishes etc. Keep in mind these improvements are located in the most remote area imaginable. Other improvements include a stable, corrals, garage and workshop and various vehicles and equipment including four wheelers, Ford flatbed truck, John Deer Gator, Ski Doo, two flat bed trailers, a couple riding lawn mowers, generators, all in good condition with low hours
This unique, private and remote property is totally off the grid! There are two wells and year round, spring fed, Milk Creek that supply all the water necessary to run this compound. All refrigerators, stoves, heaters and lighting run on propane. Milk Creek also supplies water to the approx. one acre pond on the property. The pond is approx. 18 feet deep and was designed and approved by the U.S. Ag Dept. The pond has been stocked with fish from the Trophy Trout Company out of Richfield, Utah. 33 acre feet of
Water rights go with the property. The pond has also been used recreationally for swimming, boating and other water sports associated with the youth camps that have utilized the facilities.
Wild life in the area include Trophy Elk and Mule Deer, Antelope, Mountain Lion, Bobcat, Badger, Red Fox, Grey Fox, Kit Fox, Turkey, Chukkar, Dove, Sage Grouse, Ducks, Geese and Coyote, making this property an ideal hunting retreat. Jim and Mary have accommodated hunters and hunting groups for years that come from all over the U.S. including hunters from New Hampshire, Vermont, Florida, Colorado and Texas as well as the more local regulars from Utah, Nevada and Calif.
The Burns Hermitage Ranch has been used as a retreat, youth summer camp, work camp, family guest ranch and is well known for accommodating hunters and hunting groups. There are probably many other possible uses such as private recreational get-a-way, multi family retreat, shared ownership retreat, private hunting compound, Church Camp, Scout Camp, Corporate retreat, nature camp, survivalist camp etc.
If you are in the market for that one of a kind property that is extremely remote, extremely private, yet accessible most of the year, with improvements and accommodations you wouldn’t expect in such a remote area, the Burns Hermitage Ranch is available!
This one of a kind property is offered for sale for $1,500,000.
