The Spring Creek Associationis a private property owners association with 5,420 lots residential lots, commercial lots, and numerous recreational amenities. It is located just south of Interstate 80 near Elko, Nevada, which is roughly equidistant from Reno, Nevada, Salt Lake City, Utah, and Idaho Falls, Idaho. The Association is managed by an onsite staff of approximately 35.
It covers nearly 15,000 acres and is located near the base of the Ruby Mountains. In addition to the above amenities, the Association has a campground, sports complex, golf clubhouse, and several parks. Other facilities include a maintenance yard, the administration building, and 136 miles of privately owned and maintained roads. The Association is not gated, so all roads are open to the public. Consequently, the Association has entered into an agreement with the County of Elko under which it receives annual grants to assist in road maintenance activities. The public access to the roads and major facilities maintained by the Association allowed it to qualify for tax exempt status under the Internal Revenue Code, so it pays no taxes on interest earnings from its reserve fund. Outdoor Recreation and Spring Creek have become synonymous. Lamoille Canyon, Southfork Reservoir State Park, and the Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge are all within a short drive.
Commercial lots within the Association include a major grocery store, pharmacy, post office, credit union, dental office, barbers, beauty salons, hardware store, variety store, gas stations/convenience stores, pizza parlors, sandwich shops, variety of restaurants, lounges, gaming, fitness centers, legal services, pet grooming, car washes, florist, realty office, manufactured home sales, refuse collection services, propane services, feed store, auto sales, building and construction contractors with space still available for new businesses to locate and grow.
