A major highlight of the property is the 40'x28' detached garage with a concrete floor.

The acreage is primarily composed of thick, steep timber, offering a rugged river bottom landscape with natural cover and privacy. Trail access runs throughout portions of the property, allowing for easier navigation and recreational use. Timber harvest activity took place in 2022/23.
