A long all-weather drive winds in from County Road 1613 to a scenic hilltop homesite with wide views across the property.

On the northwestern side, a stand of mature native timber rises along steeper terrain, offering shade, seclusion, and a contrast to the open fields. Trails wind through the woods, ideal for exploring, riding, or slipping quietly into a hunting stand. Whitetail deer, hogs, and other native wildlife frequent the property. Water is well distributed with three ponds totaling roughly 3.4 acres. At the center of the ranch sits a mid-1990s country home of approximately 2,117 square feet with three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
