Smith, NV 89430 - Lyon County

Heller Ranch reflects a cherished history of ranch stewardship characterized by service and commitment to family, country, Nevada, and community.   Located just one hour and 30 minutes southeast of Reno, NV, in Smith  Valley, NV, the 184.9-acre ranch is a testament to the region’s enduring agricultural legacy.

119 irrigated acres with over four CFS of highly sought-after permitted water rights support a productive, income-generating premium grass hay operation. Three cuttings of premium grass hay are harvested annually, with 7.1 tons per acre.

Four fully landscaped acres with mature shade trees, lush lawns, and a vegetable garden adorn the ranch headquarters. There are four homes on the property. The 4,934 sq. ft. 4 bedroom / 3.5 bathroom main home features an outdoor pool, a high-ceiling living room with a custom rock mantle wood fireplace, a large kitchen with stainless steel appliances,  an island, and abundant natural light with great views of the ranch. The 1,100 sq. ft. guest home, 1,500 sq. ft. bunkhouse, and a 1,286 sq. ft. manufactured caretaker home provide ample space for family, friends, or ranch labor housing.

Heller Ranch has all the ranching infrastructure you could need, including a fenced horse-riding arena, four-stall horse barn, dedicated tack room with saddle and bridle racks, equipment shed, hay barn, heated cattle barn, various outbuildings, and a large heated shop, complete with two RV-size doors and a car lift.
