The expansive grounds are already equipped with tortoise habitats, equine shelters, chicken coops, and RV hookups, while still offering plenty of room to expand and create the ranch, homestead, or desert compound you’ve envisioned. With approximately 4 fenced acres, there is ample space for animals, gardens, outdoor living, and future possibilities. Bring your vision and make this property your own!
