Lending well to the term "combination ranch," the property is traversed by scenic Smith Creek whose creek bottoms nurture fertile hay meadows and hardwood boundaries supporting wildlife habitat .

The remodeled ranch cabin, fire pit and scenic views area add to the comfort, character and ambiance of the property.

A barn attached to the cabin and a 1,000 yard gun range with covered firing line provide added storage and utility to the property.
