The Colorado River provides great fishing as well as smooth rock banks that are ideal for camping and leisurely walks to enjoy the beautiful scenery all around. The rock river bed also offers numerous areas for wading and swimming. The 4 tanks supply additional water for livestock and wildlife. Two of the tanks are stocked with bass and one with catfish. The 4th tank is just a good watering place. The ranch has good perimeter fences and one division fence that separates the ranch into 2 pastures. County Road 427 crosses the ranch and provides access to a couple of neighboring ranches then ends. The east pasture is about 640 acres and has all four of the tanks. The west pasture is about 165 acres and has the entire river frontage. About 200+ acres of the ranch has had the brush and cedar cleared and native grasses planted.
The headquarters was completed in November 2005 and has two levels with about 2400 sq. ft. of living area (all electric with central heat and cooling), 800 sq. ft. garage/shop, 160 sq. ft. storage room, 400 sq. ft. covered patio and 240 sq. ft. of deck/patio. There are 3 bedrooms & 3 full baths. The living, dining & kitchen are in a large open area with 27’ ceilings and a beautiful native stone fireplace gracing one wall and the chimney extending all the way up the 27’ wall. The home is constructed almost entirely of metal and very efficiently air-conditioned and maintained and is a great home or family or corporate retreat. The area around the headquarters is covered with 7500 cubic yards of compacted crushed stone.
