The property’s layout and amenities make it well-suited for accommodating horses or cattle. The pasture is irrigated via gated pipe and sub-irrigates so it stays green throughout the growing season.

Among the many structures on the property, is a 40ft x 74 ft steel shop. This spacious fully-insulated drive-through building includes 220-volt power, 5 doors, and additional living space.
