1176 living sq feet on the main level with 1176 sq feet walk-up/out basement!

Stocked pond providing a reliable water source and excellent fishing!

Historically, these oil wells produced over 3 barrels per day—which at today’s crude prices could equal roughly $80K+ per year in gross production value!

Three on-site oil wells historically produced up to 3 barrels of crude oil per day. The previous owner separated oil from water and utilized the natural salt content as a mineral supplement for his Wagyu cattle. Long before that, these same salt licks attracted wildlife and were used by Daniel Boone and early frontiersmen, making this land productive for centuries!

The farm features 10–12 livestock water boxes located in separate fields, making rotational grazing easy and efficient—all connected to city water!

4320 Sq feet! All barns and outbuildings have their own water and electricity!

Mineral-rich bottom fields nourished by limestone soils and clean creek water, producing healthy pasture and strong forage. These fertile grounds naturally support livestock, wildlife, and sustainable farming year after year!

This exposed limestone formation is naturally rich in calcium, magnesium, and trace minerals that slowly leach into the soil and water!

These minerals support strong bone development, digestion, and overall health in livestock, while also enriching pasture grasses—one of the reasons this land has supported healthy animals and wildlife!

Naturally divided pastures allow for easy rotational grazing, healthier forage recovery, and better livestock management—ideal for maximizing pasture performance and animal health
