Shared irrigation water with the neighboring two properties helps to make the duties of watering faster and helps get things wet faster! 9.68 shares of first decree Turner ditch and 3 shares of Deep Creek. In the spring those shares will equal approximately 0.50 cfs, or enough to irrigate 20 acres or so. 3 shares of Deep Creek is equal to 0.15 cfs at full flow (enough for 6 acres). The ditch usually begins to run in mid-April, and on good years runs into late October. It boasts an older large barn, a workshop, older orchard, fenced biodynamic garden, and a restored 100-year old chicken coop. Ready for livestock - all fences/stalls/irrigation in place with some upgrades irrigation would be even better. The biodynamic garden and massive berry patch have 14 species of berry bushes and trees with an automatic sprinkler system for the orchard and the park-like lawn. All lilac bushes have been pruned and will be thriving next year just like the one by the front door. There are very special 100 year old Fir Trees on the property and one even has a fort inside. There is also a magical forest where the Minnesota ditch runs through the property and you can hear the water rushing.
