Enclosed within the compound are notable features such as a 3-bay equipment storage building sporting a durable metal roof, a food prep facility complete with a metal roof, a walk-in cooler, and conveniently adjacent cold and hot smokers. Additionally, the premises house a 2-bay storage building, a single carport, a double carport accompanied by storage space, a spacious woodshed, and a well-constructed large turkey and chicken coop.

The metal shop stands out with its concrete flooring and a generously sized 12' x 14' roll-up door, enhancing the functionality of the farm and catering to diverse operational needs.

 Water

Spanning the eastern mountainous expanse of the acreage, a network of natural springs graces the landscape. Among these, two springs have been strategically tapped into, serving as essential sources for both irrigation and potable water for the entire ranch. There are also several other springs that are natural and untapped. Beyond their role in sustaining the ranch's water needs, these springs contribute to the sub-irrigation of the meadow, ensuring the lush vitality of the vegetation. 

The integrity of the watershed is further fortified by the protective embrace of extensive neighboring tracts of timberland, safeguarding the natural flow and quality of the water resources. This symbiotic relationship between the springs and the surrounding timberland underscores the environmental resilience and resourcefulness inherent to the ranch's location.
