Land, Water, and Agricultural Features
The agricultural portion of the property is well laid out
and designed for both hay production and livestock use. Consisting of
approximately 130.85± acres of irrigated ground served by four Zimmatic pivots,
the property supports a combination of alfalfa, timothy, and pasture
production. The balance of the acreage includes pivot corners and grazing areas
that complement the irrigated ground, providing flexibility for a variety of
agricultural operations. Multiple irrigation wells, established water rights, and
a history of productive use contribute to the property’s overall
functionality. A standout feature is the
thoughtful layout of the livestock facilities. The property is cross-fenced
into separate pastures with livestock water available throughout, while a
centrally located gathering area allows for efficient movement of both
livestock and equipment between fields. At the entrance, a well-constructed set
of steel working corrals includes multiple holding pens, a Powder River squeeze
tub, alley system, chute, and truck loading facilities. Whether utilized for
horses, cattle, or a small ranching operation, the infrastructure is already in
place to make day-to-day livestock management straightforward and efficient.
Outbuildings and Improvements
Supporting the agricultural operation are multiple
outbuildings including a 24’ x 40’ metal shop with attached lean-to, a tack
shed with saddle racks and hitching post, a storage CONEX with covered parking,
and a vehicle cover. A horse shelter located in the south pasture offers feed
bunks and tie-up areas. The property is served by Oregon Trail Electric
Cooperative, and infrastructure such as pump houses, storage sheds, and fenced
yards further enhance its operational efficiency. The septic system, installed
in 2001 and recently serviced, remains in good working order, while the home is
heated by electric forced air and a certified wood stove.
