The History that has taken place on this ranch is truly incredible. The springs on the ranch were used for many years as a stop over for the U.S. Cavalry throughout the 1800s, as the soldiers would water their horses and camp for the night. Many arrowheads and Native American artifacts have also been found on the ranch, with evidence of human activity in this area for 10,000+ years!
The ranch is uniquely positioned, back off of a private road, ensuring absolute privacy, and is also surrounded on nearly all sides by two large ranches, one is 2,500+ acres, and the other is 800+/- acres. The only thing you can see or hear on the ranch are the sights and sounds of nature, and flowing water along the creeks, no cars, road noise, just the peace and tranquility that comes with being in the Country!
