There are two varietals of grapes in the vineyard; Black Spanish (Red) and Blanc du Bois (White) The vines have a drip irrigation system on the same controller as the farmhouse.
The gated entrance featuring 4 rail wood fencing/gates was recently added along with the cobblestone paving and compacted gravel driveway leading to the farmhouse. The smokehouse functions as a storage shed and the barn houses a 1953 Ferguson Tractor along with additional farm equipment.
