Above the main workshop, two guest suites providing an additional 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, multiple outbuildings (24x12, 30x24, 40x60) ensure ample storage and functionality. A chicken coop and garden area add to the property’s charm and self-sufficiency.

Water is a true highlight here: in addition to Cow House Creek defining the southern boundary, the ranch boasts four stock tanks, three water wells (two solar-powered), and approximately 35 acres of farmable land.
