The large pasture also features a two-stall shed. Additional structures include a goat barn with water and electricity, a fully equipped chicken barn, and a well-built cattle run extending along the pasture and into a pen behind the back barn for efficient livestock management. The property is a gardener’s paradise, with established gardens ready for fresh produce. A variety of mature fruit trees, including pecan, loquat, mango, blood orange, navel orange, avocado, red grapefruit, and lemon, add to the charm. Oak trees and a palm fern garden create a serene retreat. There are two wells on the property, with the primary well featuring a heavy-duty pump for irrigation and household use, while a secondary hand-pump well provides backup water access. The back portion of the land was previously an income-producing tropical nursery, offering the opportunity to revive an agricultural business.
