An underground mainline, paired with a network of risers, ensures that the farm benefits from efficient irrigation - wheel lines supply irrigation over multiple fenced pastures.

A 644 SF guest home adds to the functionality of the property - providing the opportunity for extended family to live side by side or for the housing of farm help.
