This property was specifically designed with the horse lover in mind. The property includes 6 fenced large acreage paddocks, severed by two custom made barns. The main barn (custom built by well-known barn manufacturer Doug Pettigrew), includes three 12 x 16 regular stalls, two 16 x 16 foiling stalls, a 250 square foot roofed and insulated tack room (with built in air conditioning) and an additional 250 square foot feed room. It also includes a large covered back porch, with built in feeding shuts serving one of the large paddocks. Each stall in the barn has its own run connected to the larger acreage paddocks. The main barn has a built in timing system for the lights, a built in fly control system, and was specifically constructed for maximum ventilation in the summer and protection in the winter. The back of the barn opens up to a large fenced and lighted arena with sand footing. The custom 40 x 60 ft custom hay barn also has a covered back porch providing shelter serving two of the acreage paddocks, and sufficient space to provide storage for 200 large round bails. Adjacent to the hay barn is a shed that can be used as an accessory tack or feed room.

The mesquite wooded 30 acres of back property includes numerous trails.
