The property is 2 sides fenced with the unfenced side recently re-staked & flagged by a surveyor. This ranch offers convenient access off blacktop Summit Springs Road and CR 304 (Shovel Mountain Road) where 2 new pipe gate entrances were recently installed. Ranch roads up to the hilltop building site and rock water cistern have been improved with crushed limestone.

This well functions with the use of a generator and the depth/production are unknown. PEC power runs the North property line and is also run to the hilltop well location.
