You enter the house through a custom-made stained glass door into a large living area with a beautiful rock fireplace and birch ceiling. There are custom birch cabinets in the kitchen and baths and pergo floors throughout. The kitchen has all black appliances with a black sink and black designed counter tops. There are bay windows in the living room and kitchen and large windows in the other rooms including a picture window in the master bath that looks out on the hillside behind the house. A large covered porch runs across the front of the house and provides a perfect place to relax and watch your horses and other animals.
There is an older 1200 sq ft home located ar the base of the hill near the highway. This house has 2 bedrooms, 1 bath and a one-car garage and is currently rented. It could also be used for ranch help or as a guesthouse. The ranch is out of the city limits but has both city water and sewer.
About half of the ranch is currently developed with the balance in native trees and brush that provides excellent habitat for deer and other wildlife. The developed part is fenced and crossed femced (much with pipe fencing) and has automatic waterers in each paddock. There are 3 earthen ponds that catch runoff water.
There is a very nice modular barn with 6 stalls on each side of a wide center alley that has a concrete floor, lighting in each stall and hot and cold water. There is also a mare barn, 4-stall older barn, hay barn and small grainary.
