18500 toll road

Welcome to Ranchita. This 10 acre horse property served as the stage stop to Virginia City in the 1850s. It is perched with views of the city and a peaceful creek. The parcel includes a well-maintained barn, coral, workshop, fireplace and a nursery shed which is ideal for gardening or hobby projects. Live off the grid yet minutes from major shopping complex, dining and entertainment. Under 30 minutes to Lake Tahoe, Virginia City and Reno. Enjoy the open floor plan with the modern conveniences you hoped for. Whether you are looking for a tranquil homestead, a functional equestrian property, or a scenic escape close to town, this charming property has it all. The horseshoes embedded in the front and rear entrances to the home were found in the grounds surrounding The Ranchita. The Foot of the Grade (The Ranchita) became a well-traveled route to all seeking the riches of Virginia City. Fortunes were found and lost in the famed mines of the Comstock Lode. The rock work around the home was gathered from the grounds. Bee hives and fruit trees line the Bains Creek with runs through the property seasonally.
