The land is a combination of irrigated meadows, forest, and creek bottom and overlooks the Arkansas River a mile below Turquoise Lake Recreation Area.Improvements include a two-story, four bedroom refurbished ranch house, large hay barn, three-bay open garage, four-bay garage, large dairy barn, milk cabin cottage, repair shop, tack room, calving shed, horse sheds, corrals, 1880s vintage log cabin, and vintage log barn.
