Heller Ranch

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 179.89-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 and income-generating premium grass hay operation.
