Topography
The topography of the ranch is extremely varied, with the CRP tracts overlooking native grassland with deep, tree-lined draws and bluffed valleys. Approximately 222 acres of land is native, and this area of the ranch is considered very scenic, with large trees, wooded valleys, and scenic canyons. 185.39 acres of land was previously in farmland and now enrolled in the CRP. Soils on the CRP tracts are mostly level to gently rolling in topography and contain a good cover of CRP grasses.

This CRP contract can be assumed by the buyer, and provide an annual CRP income of $3,707, or can be bought out of CRP, cancel the contract, and begin fully utilizing the excellent grass cover for grazing and wildlife cover now.
Improvements
The only structural improvement of value is a pole and wood-frame 40 x 30 hay barn. Exterior fences are considered good.
Water Features
Two old irrigation wells are located on the property. These wells were used several years ago with side-roll sprinklers to irrigate the valley bottom land. The condition of the wells are unknown, but could be investigated by the buyer to determine the feasibility for use for either maintaining a fishing pond or for irrigation. The water table is believed to be shallow on this ranch. Two domestic livestock wells are also located on the property. One is in good working condition and is being used. The other has not been in use.
