Mature trees, natural landscaping, raised garden beds, an herb garden, and a charming chicken coop create a peaceful and self-sustaining high-desert setting with mountain vistas in every direction. An extensive drip irrigation system services plants and trees throughout the property, supporting the lush landscaping while promoting efficient water usage.
