New water lines have been installed to the outbuildings; the bunkhouse water line is in place but not connected. Propane tank is leased. Fiber optic internet is available at approximately 1 Gb/sec.

The owned residence includes recent improvements such as a new pellet stove, new flooring in the kitchen, entry, and living areas, and a brand-new dishwasher.

Additional on-site features include a bunkhouse, cherry tree, and two apple trees.
