Bently Ranch is on the market for the first time ever selling all of their agricultural holdings. Situated on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountain range in Minden, Nevada, the property is located just 25 minutes from the popular Lake Tahoe area and just minutes from downtown Minden and Gardnerville. This incredible 12, 369.69 deeded acre property is being sold as one unit, offering a once in a lifetime opportunity.
