Over 18.5 acres of beautiful pastureland has been carefully groomed and seeded over the past three years, previously grazed by longhorn cattle. Heavy-duty woven wire fencing with telephone-pole corner bracing and guy-wire top and bottom strands ensures strength and durability for livestock or equestrian use.
