Walking Box Ranch - Searchlight, NV



Polyptych Ranch Descriptions: Walking Box Ranch (bottom picture) is a 160-acre ranch that was the desert home of Hollywood stars Clara Bow and Rex Bell in the 1930s and 40s. Still in relatively good shape, the main building is a 5,000 square-foot, two-story Spanish Colonial Revival ranch house. In 1931 it was a 400,000 acre cattle ranch in the desert located about 6 miles west of Searchlight, Nevada.  At one time there was more than 1,800 head of cattle on the ranch. The facilities include a two-story home, barn, caretaker’s residence, guesthouse, swimming pool, tennis court, cactus garden and a covered patio with a built-in barbecue. Here are three polyptych's that showcase some of the interior rooms and details of the ranch's main house.
