Additional improvements include a carport, storage shed, a charming log cabin, and two historic structures that add character and authenticity to the property. Thoughtfully placed stone pathways and garden areas-crafted from materials found on the land-reflect years of care and stewardship. For those seeking a working property, the land offers excellent agricultural and grazing potential, supported by 10 shares of irrigation water. Ideal for horses, cattle, or specialty crops such as hops or orchards, the property benefits from low agricultural taxes and favorable growing conditions.
