The home site contains a fully landscaped yard with gravel pathways and flower beds.  The yard is easy to maintain with an irrigation system fueled by the artesian well. The back of the home has a spacious back patio that overlooks the year-round East Pine Creek that meanders through the property. The timbered land surrounding the home is perfect for recreation with convenient access to public lands that border the property and acts as a haven for area wildlife such as elk and deer.
