The estate features two residences: a spacious main family home and a charming cottage situated in the northwest corner of the property, alongside a pristine wooded area of virgin walnut and maple timber.

The cottage, located in the northwest 4 acres of the estate, covers approximately 900 square feet. It consists of a living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom with shower, and a large sunroom that can serve as an additional guest bedroom if needed. The cottage was originally equipped with a solar power system, which has since been removed due to obsolescence. The cottage area also includes four garage/shop buildings, suitable for tractors, mowers, and other equipment. John Deere tractor and other support equipment included with home.
