Secluded parcel with hills, river frontage, wildlife, views, and access to countless outdoor activities all while being minutes from town.

Cottonwoods and Russian Olives make up the majority of the forest, although other species are present as well. Sagebrush, rabbitbrush various grasses cover the majority of the property while tamarisk is also present close to the creek. The northwest corner of the parcel has several corrals and is well-set up to provide the resources and access for a full-fledged livestock operation or farm as the entire 53 acres to the east of the road are entirely fences with 3 access gates.

The land is currently used for grazing with approximately 25 cow-calf pairs currently occupying the property. In addition to the cattle, the property is also home to a variety of upland game including doves, quail, and pheasants, along with the occasional mule deer.
