ACREAGE AND DESCRIPTION

The home site is separate from the equestrian area and overlooks the pastures, pond and also the equestrian area. The acreage has extensive landscaping around all structures, including a tree lined paved driveway leading up to the home from the gated entry.
OPERATIONS
The 90 acres of grass hay is irrigated via pipe and also has risers spread over the property for irrigation with a gun. In addition, 19 of the 90 acres is sub-irrigated via punch tape and underground pump. The pump is large enough to allow sub-irrigation of the entire 90 acres in the future, if desired.
The grass hay is fertilized annually and has historically produced 150 to 170 tons of hay from two cuttings. The hay storage area will hold over 2,000 small bales and is large enough to accommodate a stacking wagon.
