Gardnerville Nevada Real Estate - November 2009 Homes for Sale
As of November 20, 2009, there are 422 homes available for sale in the Carson Valley, which is comprised of Genoa, Gardnerville and Minden (and a small sliver of Carson City known as Jacks Valley and Indian Hills).
There are several separate and distinct parts of the Carson Valley, and different reasons to live in each one. If you like horses, you may prefer the rural feel of the Johnson Lane or Ruhenstroth areas where homes on are on larger parcels of land and horses are allowed. If you don't want the hassle of yard work, you may prefer a home on a much smaller lot like Westwood, Arbor Gardens, Winhaven Patio Homes or Sequioa Village.
In this blog post, we're going to focus on what's for sale in the Gardnerville Ranchos, Chambers Field, Ruhenstroth, Buckeye-Pinenut, Fish Springs, and outlying Topaz Ranch Estates, Topaz Lake, Spring Valley and China Springs. All of these areas are considered part of Gardnerville, Nevada.
Gardnerville Homes for Sale - Gardnerville Ranchos - The Ranchos is a community of approximately 4,000 homes built between the late 1970's to the early 2000's. Home are - for the most part - single story on 1/5 acre lots and have a classic configuration of either 3 or 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a 2 car garage. Some homes do have 3 car garages. Today there are 49 homes available for sale in the Gardnerville Ranchos.
Gardnerville Homes for Sale - Chambers Field - Chambers Field is a close-in collection of neighborhoods east of Highway 88 and South of 395, west of the much larger subdivision known as the Gardnerville Ranchos. This area was historically used as ranching lands and dairies, but in recent years has been developed into small master-planned neighborhoods among the remaining rural sections. Subdivisions in Chambers Field include Rocky Terrace, Pleasantview, Rainshadow Ranch, and Cedar Creek. Today, there are 23 homes for sale in Chambers Field.
Gardnerville Homes for Sale - Buckeye/Pinenut, Ruhenstroth and Fish Springs - Today there are 52 homes available for sale in the these three areas. All three areas share a rural feel of larger parcels - often several acres or more, are horse property, and share incredible views of the Sierras. The Buckeye/Pinenut area is closer to town and as such is more
desirable for some homeowners.
Topaz Ranch Estates / Topaz Lake / Spring Valley & China Springs Homes for Sale - These four areas are grouped together because of their proximity to one another and their shared geographic location - they are all south of Gardnerville. PineView Estates is a relatively new subdivision with homes built in the 2000's with homes starting in the low $100,000's. Topaz Ranch Estates is a small valley with manufactured homes and stick built homes that vary in age over the last 3 decades. Most are on an acre or more. Topaz Lake is a resort community bordering California with a mixture of manufactured and stick built homes - many residents here are seasonal, spending summers in Topaz and winters in a milder climate. Spring Valley and China Springs are similar to Ruhenstroth and Fish Springs with a very rural feel. Most homes are on at least an acre or more, however they are built into an eastern mountain range on the east side of the valley so they often do not share the same views that the Carson Valley homes do. Today, there are 36 homes for sale in these four areas.

Originally licensed in Nevada in 1999, I serve the Carson Valley and outlying areas, including Reno, Sparks, Carson City, Washoe Valley, Dayton, Fernley, Smith Valley, Gardnerville, Minden and Genoa.For the first 4 years of my real estate career, I focused exclusively on commercial and investment real estate, including retail, mixed use, industrial, office and medical space.

Dear Steve and Christianne,
We enjoyed working with you on our recent house purchase. You answered all of our questions in a very timely way and you were always available to show us the house and get us any information we needed. You also made this sale go very smooth and fast by personally delivering all the documents that needed to be signed.
We were also impressed by the very professional but yet very friendly and personal way that you treated both parties involved. We hope we can have the opportunity to work together again.
- Russell Scossa
Dear Steve and Christianne,
Lane and I would like to thank you for a most professional handling of our real estate situation in Gardnerville. Starting with the great communication up front by explaining what we could expect in a very difficult market. In looking at my notes from our first meeting it actually turned out exactly as you said. The length of time you predicted to complete a sale in this market was correct, the amount of the sale was within a few percentage points. Most importantly to us were the following:
1.) Christianne’s expert job of staging the home.
2.) Stephen’s & Christianne’s knowledge of the market.
3.) Continual updates on where we were.
4.) The above and beyond the call of duty displayed by you. Helping get things out of the house, constantly making yourself available for those to whom we donated furniture to.
5.) The most up to date marketing tools, from the “Talking House”, to internet, to mailing people in the area to let them know it was available.
6.) Going the extra mile to work around our schedule which is always unpredictable in our business in the fall.
7.) Actually driving all the way up to Tahoe to get papers signed (when gas prices were at their highest), and even delivering things that we may have forgotten.
8.) Your understanding of my emotional frame of mind since it was my mother’s house, and your sensitivity in handling things so I did not have to spend much time there.
9.) Your continual “What else can we do?” attitude” toward the project.
10.) Your rallying of the real estate community to show the home.
11.) The most important thing may have been their Positive Energy and Enthusiasm. Stephen told us “We can sell this house”.
Lane recently said she wished you can handle our holdings in Calif. and Arizona, and of course I concur! Thank you again for your care, your professionalism, and your belief and commitment to excellence.
- John and Lane Emerick
Hi Steve and Christianne,
This is a pleasure to respond to your request. We have been trying to formulate a “Thank You” to include all the accolades you have earned. We have been residents of the Carson Valley since 1981, and as such have used different Realtors for both residential and business. By far you have been the hardest working Realtors we’ve known. We were impressed with the exposure you gave our property using far reaching advertising, and at your own expense. We also really appreciated how accessible and personal, yet professional you both are, we could always reach you by phone, with every worry or question. (A rare luxury in this day.) Your knowledge of real estate and your keen eye for detail have served us well. In each transaction you kept our best interests in first place, which saved us needless expense down the road. We recommend you to everyone without reserve. Thank you again for your friendship, and work ethic.
With Appreciation and Love - Bob and Linda Blackford
Dear Steve and Christianne,
Thank you both very much! You both are very understanding and respectful of our time. Thank you both for respecting our time as we both tried to respect yours! I am sure we will be doing future deals together. Thanks for the excellent gift. We really appreciate it. Again, thanks and may you all be healthy, wealthy and wise.
Thanks - Carlos and Ondy Valladares
Steve,
We just wanted to send a note of thanks for the top notch service you provided us during the search for and eventual purchase of our home in Minden. Living over 600 miles away and communicating mostly by email, you made our search easy because you were always willing to tour and photograph the properties we were interested in, thereby saving many hours of needless on-site visits for us. As a result, when we did visit Minden and meet with you, we had a much clearer picture of what we were looking for, and we have you to thank for helping us find the perfect property. Your continued help through the purchase process and your dedication to us as clients made us truly appreciate your level of expertise and professionalism in your field. We are very pleased to have a new home in Minden, but even more pleased to have you, Steve, as our friend.
- Lillian Rosen & Randy Nickson
