25 Ranch位于内华达州北部，是一个历史悠久、规模庞大的牧牛场，售价为36,525,000美元。该牧场占地约126,018英亩，横跨四个县。作为该州最大和最古老的牧场之一，该牧场拥有众多可追溯到19世纪70年代和80年代的既得和法定水权。该牧场于近几年得到了改善，已建有一个主屋、众多住宅、畜栏、谷仓、商铺和辅助建筑。此外，25 Ranch还拥有众多水源、可长期放牧的大型牧场（收到土地管理局批准）和全年6500头奶牛的承载能力。内华达州北部拥有历史最悠久的牧牛场之一，包括现今25 Ranch在内的众多牧场房产均是在19世纪70年代建立并确定下来的。这些地块最初分别由Russell Land and Cattle Co.和W.T. Jenkins Co.分别经营；在20世纪40年代，W.T. Jenkins Co.将所有房产整合为目前的25 Ranch。19世纪70年代初，W.T. Jenkins Co.的创始人W.T.詹金斯从威尔士移居内华达州开采黄金和白银以谋求财富。他的梦想很快破灭，之后他开始经营牧羊业。詹金斯与一个名叫乔·迪恩（Joe Dean）的残忍牧场主在内华达山脉（Nevada range）进行了一场致命枪战，并取得胜利。迪恩试图把W.T.赶出美国，但没有成功。之后W.T.Jenkins便开始同时牧养牛羊。W.T.的女儿路易斯·玛弗尔（Louise Marvel）在18岁时就开始负责管理牧场的运营，并逐渐打造出内华达州最大的牧场产业之一。包括W.T. Jenkins Co.控股部分的25 Ranch的地块于1964年出售，最终25 Ranch的现任业主于1989年收购了该公司，并从那时起一直经营着这家牧场企业。25 Ranch由分散在该牧场地块上的几个牧场单元组成，包括Izzenhood牧场、Blossom牧场、石溪（Rock Creek）牧场、圣约翰（St. John's）牧场、Stampede牧场、饲料场、河流牧场（River Ranch）、DL牧场和电线围栏营地，都是整个牧场经营的组成部分。大多数牛都在河流牧场（River Ranch）和Izzenhood牧场区过冬，位于牧场和经土地管理局批准的放牧区，然后在春夏两季的放牧季节向北迁移到更高海拔地区以获取更新鲜的饲料。目前大部分灌溉土地均为放牧状态，无需收获，因为没有冬季补充的需要。在正常年份，草地既可以用于种植，也可用来放牧。经土地管理局批准的放牧区南部可供约4000头奶牛南部，并无需喂食干草。唯一的干草需求来自骑用马和特殊的牧牛所需。放牧区内共有524,083英亩土地，包括309,390英亩的公共土地和214,693英亩的私人土地。25 Ranch拥有大量经过认证、裁决和既得的用水权。该房产的总裁定用水权约为15,234.15英亩。除了裁定用水权，25 Ranch还有权从8个水源地和8个独立认证地块（内华达州水资源办公室有公共记录）获得灌溉用水。
The 25 Ranch is a historic and expansive cattle ranch situated in northern Nevada and being offered for sale at the price of $36,525,000. The property encompasses approximately 126,018 +/- deeded acres and spans across four counties. As one of the largest and oldest ranches in the state, the Ranch holds many vested and decreed water rights dating back to the 1870s and 1880s. Over the years, the Ranch has been improved with a main residence, numerous dwellings, corrals, barns, shops, and support buildings. Additionally, the 25 Ranch features numerous water sources, vast, long-standing BLM grazing permits and a carrying capacity of 6,500± cows on a year-round basis.
One of the foremost historic cattle ranches in northern Nevada, many of the ranching properties consisting of what now comprises the 25 Ranch were established and settled in the 1870’s. These lands were originally separately assembled and operated by Russell Land and Cattle Co. and by W.T. Jenkins Co. In the 1940’s, W.T. Jenkins Co. merged all of these holdings into the current 25 Ranch operation. W.T. Jenkins, the founder of W.T. Jenkins Co., migrated to Nevada from Wales in the early 1870’s seeking his fortune mining for gold and silver. His dream soon dissipated, and he then commenced operations in the sheep business. After standing victorious in a fatal gunfight in the mountains of the open Nevada range with a ruthless cattleman named Joe Dean, who unsuccessfully attempted to run W.T. out of the country, W.T. Jenkins subsequently began raising both sheep and cattle. W.T.’s daughter, Louise Marvel, assumed the lead role of managing the ranch operations at the tender young age of 18 and gradually created one of the largest ranching operations in the State of Nevada. The extensive 25 Ranch lands which comprised a portion of the W.T. Jenkins Co. holdings were sold in 1964 and ultimately the current owner of the 25 Ranch acquired the outfit in 1989 and has continuously operated this ranching enterprise since that time.
The 25 Ranch is comprised of several ranch units scattered throughout the 25 Ranch fee lands, consisting of Izzenhood Ranch,Blossom Ranch, Rock Creek Ranch,St. John’s Ranch, Stampede Ranch, Feed Lot, River Ranch, DL Ranch, and the Wire Corral Camp, all of which are integral parts of the ranching operation. Most of the cattle are wintered in the River Ranch and Izzenhood areas, on both fee lands and the BLM grazing allotment, and then move north into higher elevations for fresher feed during the spring and summer grazing seasons. At the present time, most of the irrigated land is grazed and not harvested because there has not been a need for winter supplementation. In normal years, meadowlands can be used for both harvest land and grazing. Approximately 4000 cows can be wintered on the southern portion of the BLM grazing allotment without feeding hay. The only hay requirements are for saddle horses and special cattle needs. There are 524,083 acres within the grazing allotment, consisting of 309,390 acres of public land and 214, 693 acres of private land.
The 25 Ranch has an abundance of certificated, adjudicated and vested water rights. The total adjudicated water rights on the property are approximately 15,234.15± Acre-Feet. In addition to the adjudicated water rights, the 25 Ranch is also entitled to water for irrigation use from 8 sources and under 8 separate certificates (which are of public record in the Nevada Division of Water Resources Office).
