A Conservation Plan written by the NRCS offers many opportunities for land and habitat improvement for the variety of indigenous wildlife. The 17 acre buffer area of widths from 85 to 225, established in 2011 under a 10 year Conservation Resource Plan, adjoins the 4,400 of Bernard Creek/San Bernard River frontage, provides habitat improvement and acts as a filter for water runoff. The property is 70% wooded (various oaks, cedar, and elm) with all the native wildlife one would expect. There are two free-choice protein feeders for deer and there has been no hunting on the property in the last 12 years. There is also a acre pond with a pier that is stocked with bluegill and red ear sunfish.

The 40 x 80 insulated equipment barn/shop building includes a climate-controlled storage room and an adjoining pre-plumbed space for water and drain to add a bath, 16 and 18 x 12 overhead doors, and the rainwater catchment system which supplies whole-house domestic water filtered down to .5 microns (4 tanks holding 4,250 gallons each). The water well is used for irrigation of both the fenced yard landscaping and fruit orchard located behind the home but can also service the home with a softener and the changing of valves.

The well house has 110/220 electric hook up, land line telephone and is situated next to a 12 x 60 concrete slab available for RV parking.
