FLYING ME RANCH
6755 FRANKTOWN ROAD, WASHOE VALLEY, NEVADA 89704
Your Story Starts Here
Cradled against the soaring Sierras in the northwest corner of Nevada, a historic property awaits its next adventure - the Flying ME Ranch. Here, in a sun-kissed valley under the crisp azure skies, the wild spirit of the west whispers to those ready to listen. The ranch's roots wander back to the founding of the Silver State. When settlers first arrived in sagebrush-covered acres of Washoe Valley, they called it "The Garden of Eden." Later, the valley's lumber and agriculture would power the economic engine that brought silver from the framed Comstock Lode in Virginia City to the rest of the world. Today, this more than 80-acre property boasts a veritable compound of a thoughtfully restored histored structure and newly constructed residential and recreational buildings. At its heart sits a ranch home filled with modern conveniences, luxurious amenities, and bespoke design touches. The Flying ME Ranch's next chapter is waiting for its next author. Will it be you?
This historic Flying ME Ranch is located just 18 minutes from Reno and approximately 30 minutes from Lake Tahoe. Backing up to National Forest and situated on two parcels totaling approximately 85 fenced acres, this epic one-of-a-kind property in West Washoe Valley, Nevada will take your breath away. The panoramic views of Washoe Valley and Washoe Lake are stunning.
The land consists of two parcels. On the approx. 54-acre parcel, the home and all the outbuildings reside on fenced and cross-fenced pastures and forest. On the secluded south-end of the property near the big pine trees runs Lewers Creek and adjacent pond used for irrigation storage and recreation. There are several springs on this parcel as well. The current zoning of MDR and GR allows for subdividing this parcel accordingly in two. Franktown Road separates the approximate 30-acre parcel currently used for cultivating hay and grazing. The current zoning of MDR and GR also allows for subdividing this parcel into two parcels.
Water rights are abundant (192.67 AFA of surface water rights & 89.83 AFA of supplemental underground water rights) to maintain these properties in their current state. With Nevada’s welcoming tax structure and the lifestyle that Reno/Tahoe have to offer, you won’t find a more desirable property.

THE RESIDENCE
Sitting at the top of the meadow and up against the giant pines, this incredible design and architecture of the one level 4,584 s.f. home built in 2010, incorporates a view from almost every room, and the grand entrance off the porte-cochere welcomes you in. A thoughtfully arranged gourmet kitchen is the perfect layout for family and friends, equipped with all the finest appliances, a butler’s pantry, and a full walk-in pantry. Multiple dining areas in this home include counter-seating, nook and formal dining. The great room features vaulted ceilings with cedar planks, a captivating stone floor-to-ceiling woodburning fireplace with custom Mahogany wood mantel (moved from South America in the 1940s), and massive panoramic windows to gaze upon the picturesque landscape.
The well-conceived full-service bar captures the views through the great room with ample seating, and the custom glass-inlayed cabinets are perfect for portraying your fine glassware and spirits. Situated at the end of the bar you will walk through a custom-built, ornate steel door to the 320-bottle wine room. The primary suite is just the right size, and the gorgeous bathroom with jetted tub, walk in shower, separate vanities and closets will serve your every need. On the north wing you will find 2 well-appointed en-suite bedrooms, a single bedroom, and a separate full bathroom. The multipurpose room off the adjoining garage has a full bathroom, bench seating with cubbies and hooks, utility sink, island, designated washer/dryer area as well as a spot for an additional refrigerator and freezer all surrounded by a plethora of custom cabinets. Two oversized 2-car garages separated by a carport, one complete with a built-in dog-washing station.
No expense was spared from the design and construction to the rich hickory hardwoods and stone finishes all creating the character and warmth of this lovely home. The enormous, covered patio off the great room and primary suite brings to life relaxing outdoor space. The outdoor kitchen with a built-in Traeger Smoker, and gas BBQ, along with bar seating and in-ground gas firepit is the perfect setting to socialize with friends and family. The grounds around the home are extraordinary and meticulously maintained.

THE RANCH
FLYING ME RANCH
On the approx. 54-acre parcel, the home and all the outbuildings reside on fenced and cross-fenced pastures and forest. On the secluded south-end of the property near the big pine trees runs Lewers Creek and adjacent pond used for irrigation storage and recreation. There are several springs on this parcel as well. The current zoning of MDR and GR allows for subdividing this parcel accordingly in two. Franktown Road separates the approximate 30-acre parcel currently used for cultivating hay and grazing. The current zoning of MDR and GR also allows for subdividing this parcel into two parcels.
Across the driveway and up an elegant walkway is the custom-built horse barn with five stalls, tack room and shop. Adjacent to the house and barn is a fully restored historic building brought down from Virginia City on the V&T Railroad in approximately 1866 and was a former blacksmith shop. Across the pasture and beyond the old apple orchard is a 50’ x 30’ steel building with approximately 20’ doors, perfect for storing equipment, RVs, and hay.
