Property Description

FLORA All of the flora provides not only a habitat for wildlife, but shade for visitors during the warmer months. Earlier, we talked about one of the most striking features, the iconic Fan Palms. Those and the hundreds of cottonwoods and native mesquites require no watering due to their close proximity to the springs and the ground water that flows be- neath the surface. There are over 600 other drought tolerant trees, bushes, and shrubs that are irrigated with water pro- vided by nature through natural springs system with a little help from irrigation lines. Without this watering, most would survive on the limited, typical rainfall. Collectively, they provide shade, cover, and nesting sites for a number of different wildlife species. Completing the needs of the local fauna, they produce copious amounts of small fruit in the fall that provide sustenance for that wide variety of wildlife. FAUNA And wildlife there is. Everything that lives in the Mojave Desert is represented here along with numerous transients from other eco-zones. For me personally, I’ve always most enjoyed the numerous species of birds that frequent the property. Along with the year round residents, various birds are seasonally present. There are also migratory transients that stop over to rest and get water. Some of my favorite members of the Community are the Hummingbirds, Orioles, and Western Tanagers that breed and raise their young here during the Spring and Summer. There are also different varieties of Towhees, Finch’s, Woodpeckers, Sparrows, Hawks and Owls, many Quail. Some seasonal and others full time. It’s a bird watchers delightLOOKING FORWARD WHY THIS PROPERTY So, what would you do with this unique and special property? Well, you’d have to use your imagination. It would make for a continued use as a beautiful, environmentally stable Nature Preserve and Wildlife Sanctuary, or a wonderful Family retreat. There is no public power or water, but there’s plenty of sun and seasonal breezes to harness green energy. Among other things it would also be ideal for a day trip nature area, or a Team Building Retreat. The possibilities and combinations are endless, but properties like this in Southern Nevada are not. This is a rare and incomparable piece of property that has become available for the first time in over 46 years, and I would encourage everyone who may be interested to take a look and envision how they would incorporate Juanita Springs into their dreams for the future. LOCATION It's approximately 85 miles NE of Las Vegas and 20 miles S of Mesquite NV. It is what's called a pocket ranch as it's surrounded by Federal land, and with the closest neighbor being 7miles away, providing seclusion. There is semi- paved road access that goes to and through a portion of the property. Two miles south of Juanita Springs is the edge of Gold Butte National Monument.
