Besides the recreational opportunities, the ranch provides multiple agricultural uses. Designed to support livestock, this property is perfect for horses, cattle, sheep or swine. A system of corrals, stalls, and loading chutes are located adjacent to the 36 X 36 barn, complete with stalls and a tack room. Additional outbuildings such as a 2-bay equipment shed and storage sheds are also located on the land providing plenty of room to store hay, farm implements, or equipment.
