Updated improvements at ranch headquarters include a new 2,800 sq. ft. building complex split between a shop and an 8 bedroom living quarters well suited for owner/manager or hunting lodge. The ranch is located in one one of the best hunting areas of Nevada and includes 2 bull elk tags annually in units 104,108 and 121.
