At the heart of the land, a small pond, approximately 1.5 acres in size, is lined with trees and full of bass, croppies and bluegill. On the south acreage lies a forested area with steep limestone bluffs and lots of scenic views. On the northern acreage lies another large heavily-forested area with bubbling brooks after a good rain. The north also hosts a well-maintained, huge double-level barn built with 150-year old beams salvaged from the barn's predecessor. A smaller barn on the northern end can serve as a tool or hay shed. Deer, wild turkeys, bobcats, and other creatures native to the region are plentiful. Hunting has previously not been allowed on the land, and it has remained relatively undisturbed by humans.
