The granite-based road that leads down to the home ensures easy year-round access to the ranch.

The main floor includes two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an additional office/ bedroom.

A hayloft with horse stalls in the back of the barn provides security for your horses when one is not riding them within the riding arena on within the overall ranch acreage.
