Fencing

There are 3 acres fenced. We do have a pet cow, pet sheep, and a pig on it right now. Looks like goat fencing but we are repairing it all the time.

Water Access

We are on town water so any water usage from the barn or house would have to be paid for. We can make an arrangement for this. There is also a creek that runs through the middle of the property.

Barns for Equipment/Storage

Very small barn and a couple of lean to/run in sheds in the pastures.
