Cold Creek Nevada Real Estate

Cold Creek is one of the many long-lived Newark Valley ranches. In 1879, a post office was installed at the ranch to serve as the mail distribution point for the valley’s ranches. It flows from the eastern slope of the Diamond Range into Gilson Valley. A ranch and settlement was established on the creek in the mid-1870s. During the mining boom nearby Joy, Cold Creek was known as Cupperville. A school was active at Cold Creek for many years. The post office closed in 1936 and Cold Creek continues to be an active ranch. It served the settlement from April 7, 1879 until March 28, 1913 and was the mail distribution point for several of the ranches in the valley. On March 28, 1913, the name of the post office changed to Simonsen. This post office served the area until May 15, 1936. Cold Creek is private property and continues to be an active ranch. Several of the original buildings remain.

Cold Creek's landscape boasts of north-south mountain ranges up to 13,000 feet in elevation, separated by long narrow valleys ranging from 5,000 to 7,000 feet in elevation. The highest point in the county is the summit of Wheeler Peak (which can be seen from Cold Creek) in the Snake Range at 13,063 feet above sea level. It is not a place for those like city comforts. This is a place of open ranges, wide open spaces and sparse vegetation. There are few people around, and these appeals to many. Homes range from small hunting and fishing cabins, to open ranches with large farmsteads. Prices range too, depending on the size of the home and of the property. There is no problem in raising livestock or having a horse ranch in this neck of the woods.

The average Cold Creek home price is about $298,000. Housing types available include Single Family, Residential, Commercial, Lots & Land, Investment Properties, Town Homes & Condominiums. Cold Creek is a perfect place for investors planning to invest a real estate because it offers good hunting, fishing, hiking and other outdoor sports that contribute to the quality of life enjoyed by resident and tourist alike. A herd of elk, deer or wild horses are often seen. The Chamber of Commerce motto of "Experience the Unexpected" is very appropriate.
