Recently remodeled and modernized, this home and the accompanying acreage will give that restful solitude we seek in our "home away from home".

There are two water wells on the property. One supplies water to the cabin and livestock. It is about 100 ft. deep with a submersible pump and pressure tank. It is an older well and is estimated to produce about 5-7 gpm. The second well is new and just completed. It is 1460 ft. deep with a 2 hp pump that will pump 10-12 gpm. The Richland Rural Water System is available to the property, but no meter has been purchased. There is one small pond on the property. Cap Rock Electric is the electricity provider.
The ranch has very good all-metal 8-strand barbed wire perimeter and cross fences. The yard and trap pasture fences are heavy gauge net wire. The cattle pens are treated oak and pine. There is a like new metal barn that is open on each end and used for storing feed and equipment. It could easily be converted into a horse barn by adding stalls.
The cabin is one-of-a-kind! It was built in the mid-1930’s by the owner, who was also a rock mason, and the craftmanship is excellent. The cabin has two bedrooms, one bath, utility/mud room, living room with a large opening into the dining and kitchen area. It was renovated and updated about 3 years ago. The exterior is a combination of different types of stone with interesting designs incorporated throughout the rock-work. It also has a beautiful rock fireplace with a stone mantle. The cabin is all-electric with central heating and cooling (heat pump). It has the original pine board floors, and insulated in every wall and the ceiling. All of the windows are double-pane vinyl Sears brand. The remodeling was done with an eye on efficiency and comfort with a western accent. The cabin comes with an electric range, built-in dishwasher and two wardrobes that are used for bedroom closet furniture.
There is an old stone outbuilding with a concrete floor that was once used as a smokehouse. It could be converted into a neat bunkhouse or used for storage. There is also a rock overhead water storage tank with an enclosed outdoor shower under it, a cellar and a cistern.
This is a great small cattle or horse ranch with good deer hunting. The cabin is great for a family retreat or a home for a small family. Give us a call and we will be happy to show it to you.
