WATER: There is a shallow well at the headquarters. This well supplies the home and the immediate area. There is a large dirt reservoir on the ranch that catches water, which the owner then pumps into storage tanks.

LIVESTOCK OPERATION: The owner has primarily used the ranch for recreational purposes, although you could run a small herd of cattle.

IMPROVEMENTS: The Headquarters has log home. This is a two-story home with one bedroom and bath on each floor. There is a wide overhang porch on two sides providing an excellent place to sit and look over the land below. The interior of the home is finished with an unusual grey pine shiplap siding. A wood stove located in the corner of the living room heats the interior. The ceilings are tongue and grove pine over rough cut beams and large log Vegas. The flooring is 12 square dark ceramic tile. If you want another bedroom one of the porches could be easily converted into a bedroom. There is also a recently completed storage shed.

WILDLIFE: There are wildlife on the ranch consisting of Elk, Mule Deer, Barbary Sheep, Quail and other species of animals. Because of the rim and the location of the ranch, it is a very private piece of property. You can completely control access to the upper portions of the ranch. Plenty of wildlife make the ranch their home, but many more can be found during hunting seasons on public lands that are in close proximity to the ranch. The wildlife tend to come to the safety and isolation the ranch affords.
