The Jones Boys Ranch covers 435 deeded acres near Lockes, NV, a ghost town on U.S. Highway 6.
There are two houses on the property: The main home has three beds and two baths, the bunk house has 2/2.
A spring produces over 200 gpm according to the listing.
The deeded acreage is surrounded by the Butterfield Allotment, on which the property has grazing preference.
The allotment overlaps a small portion of the Quinn and White River HAs.

The parcel offers 4,776 active AUMs on 122,080 public acres, according to the Allotment Master Report, enough to support 398 wild horses.
The stocking rate would be 3.3 wild horses per thousand public acres.
This brings more distress to the bureaucrats and ranchers, who insist that public lands in the western U.S. can only support one wild horse per thousand acres (27,000 animals on 27 million acres).
The allotment is in the Custodial category with condition unknown. This is unusual for a parcel of this size. Buyers should discuss with the Tonopah Field Office.
As with other base properties, the new owner could petition the BLM for a change in livestock type and season of use so horses could roam the area, as American Prairie did for bison in Montana.
