I envision this property being used for multiple purposes including grazing animals like goats, sheep or cattle, as well as horses. Bison would also do well on the land. I can see revitalizing the chicken coop for laying hens. I can also see the possibility of putting up one or more greenhouses for specialty plants.
General Information
Quality of Land
Parts of the 57 acre property were a sandstone quarry 50 years ago. It sits on a hill with a cliff on the west side and all but the cliff side has a perimeter fence. Approximately 50% has grass, sparse trees and other woody shrubs to be used for pasture. Currently there are three pastures, but room for more. We are willing to provide cisterns for water. We envision having goats and sheep for our livestock with either llamas and/or guard dogs for predator protection Also there is a small pond with a picnic area to be enjoyed by guests.. Approximately one acre is occupied by buildings associated with the property. All parts of the extensive property is connected by a series of rural road
