Description

The *875-acre* Palomino Farms stands as a cherished agricultural hallmark of the Palomino Valley. It is located just a 8-minute drive to Sparks, NV and a 30-minute drive to Reno, NV, one of the fastest-growing metropolitan regions in the United States.
Palomino Farms is a multifaceted and innovative farm with high-quality alfalfa and alfalfa orchard grass mix production at its heart. 220.60 irrigated acres under one Zimmatic and one Valley pivot, coupled with 46.25 acres under wheel line irrigation, produces approximately 4.2 to 5.25 tons per acre of high-quality alfalfa. The crop is bolstered by 1,266 + acre feet of underground water rights, two 600+ ft. ag wells, and two 150 HP pumps for each. Additionally, there are approximately 450 acres of rangeland to boot.
Palomino Farms has been on the cutting edge of innovative and sustainable water solutions in an ever-changing world through OneWater Nevada Initiative, a collaboration with the University of Nevada, Reno, City of Reno, City of Sparks, Washoe County, and the Truckee Meadows Water Authority. This promising initiative would pipe recycled water from nearby northern Nevada urban communities, significantly reducing the need for groundwater pumping on the farm. Additionally, extensive research and testing have confirmed an opportunity for a massive volume of Truckee River water to be stored in a large underground aquifer beneath Palomino Farms.
Home Sweet Home is a comfortable 1,100 sq. ft. updated three-bedroom, two-bath home with a lawn. It includes a large kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a cozy living room. Ranch infrastructure includes a pole hay barn, equipment shed, shop, and outbuildings.
It is extremely rare to find such a productive alfalfa farm with enviable water rights and buildable lots in Washoe County. Discover the endless opportunities with Palomino Farms!
