Ranch Improvements: On one of the highest points there is a 2-story lookout pavilion with spectacular views and a stone fireplace. There are several storage buildings, a good road system in place and is entirely high-fenced.

Water: The highlight of the water features is the spring fed creek that wraps around the main house, contained with a series of dams. These dams have extensive rock work which creates several swimming pool-like water features with a waterfall in between. There are a total of 8 different ponds along the spring fed creek system. The natural rock grotto is a very unique feature to this property and not something that you see every day. Springs drip off the roof and down the sides of the grotto to fill a rock-lined pool which eventually drains into the creek. There are 2 water wells, one that services the improvements.

Wildlife: This ranch is loaded with native and exotic wildlife which includes but is not limited to whitetail deer, turkey, elk, Scimitar-horned Oryx, Fallow deer, Axis deer, Black Buck and even a herd of Buffalo.

Terrain/Vegetation: There are seven different canyons and over 440 feet of elevation change ranging from 1660 to 2,100 feet above sea level.
