Great location to build a home. Electricity is obtainable nearby. Several seasonal creeks meander through the ranch to provide great water features about 8 to 9 months of the year. Cold Spring Creek traverses the northeast portion of the ranch. The large pond in the center of the ranch traps the runoff from the elevated areas and provides a great water source and natural habitat for wildlife.
