Quoting because these links and listings have a way of disappearing:
In the 1940s, Bing Crosby helped put the small city of Elko, Nev., on the map when he made it his family’s refuge from Hollywood. Now, one of the singer and actor’s former ranches is on the market for $7.28 million.
The property is located about 45 miles north of Elko, which is about 420 miles north of Las Vegas and has a population of roughly 18,000, according to the 2010 census. One of seven ranches Mr. Crosby operated in the area, the mountainside property spans about 3,000 acres and includes a working cattle ranch, a private airstrip and airplane hangar and various structures for ranch operations and hay barns, according to the seller Jim Boyer, a Lake Tahoe-based retired telecom entrepreneur.
The main home, a modest wooden property, comprises about 5,000 square feet with six bedrooms. The tiny original homestead on the property dates back to the 1860s and is preserved "like a museum piece," according to the listing.
