The property features a complement of pasture and beautiful mature pines, live oaks and cedar trees. Osceola turkey and whitetail deer frequent the land. A number of cow calf pairs graze the pasture grass amongst a hodgepodge of old fence lines that sometimes follow the property boundary lines. On the western end, large limestone boulders were once collected and placed under the shadows of large live oak limbs that suspend low off the forest floor. An old wooden barn with seven stalls and a tack room still stands along with a storage shed. Sunlight comes in through the barn roof in several places where the tin panel roof sections once gave shelter to horses. There's a gentle roll across this land that gradually slopes down to the east. Old fat pine logs, also referred to as "lighter knot," are scattered around the property. When tucked under split oak, these make excellent fuel for bonfires.
