The pasture area comprises 130 acres of fine cattle and horse grazing, and has been in hay production through 2012.

An amazing feature of this ranch is the 1000 elevation mountain behind the homes and shop area with fantastic 25 mile views from the top, accessed by jeep, riding and walking trails. This gives the ranch a diversity of rich, level field land up front, and the heavily wooded rocky Hill Country topography of the mountain.
