Two spacious run-ins provide shade and shelter for horses, while a round riding pen adds versatility for training sessions. The historic bank barn underwent a comprehensive restoration in 2023 to preserve its structural integrity and enhance functionality. Renovations included new poplar barn doors, reinforced posts, and a freshly repainted roof. The lower level was cleared, offering flexible space for future use, such as additional stalls or storage. The stone foundation was repointed, and water diversion systems were improved to protect against erosion and moisture damage. Netting was installed to safeguard the barn from birds and bees, ensuring a clean and secure environment. Water resources are abundant, with two wells, multiple natural springs, and Hays Creek flowing beneath the barn, providing a consistent and reliable water source for livestock and irrigation. The land has been carefully regraded and reseeded to promote healthy pasture growth and optimal drainage.

The property is zoned for two additional dwellings, offering exciting expansion opportunities.
