Major improvements include a new aerobic septic system and all new septic lines (2025), new power cable from main panel to house panel (2025), and three newly installed electric poles by GVEC. The property also features a 14-ft front entrance gate with keypad (2022), new house window shutters (2024), and all new windows and front door by Southwest Exteriors (2022).

For animal lovers, there’s an insulated doghouse with invisible fence (2022), animal and cattle pens plus a serviced chicken coop, and a cattle water tank (2022). A reverse plug for a generator (2022), 50-amp RV hookups, new shop light fixtures, and serviced rolling doors add even more functionality. The fireplace was fully serviced and operational (2022), and the HVAC is serviced annually to ensure efficiency and comfort year-round. Additional features include a shooting range and a transferable Vivint camera and security system, providing both recreation and peace of mind.
