Supplements
The main house on the property contains 3,724 square feet and serves as the owner's retreat. It's considered to be of excellent quality and features rustic log construction larger than average diameter logs. Rooms include one large primary bedroom with large bathroom, one small secondary bedroom upstairs with a bathroom, a half bathroom downstairs, a large living room with fireplace, recreation room (billiards room), formal dining area, family room with fireplace, large kitchen and a small loft area upstairs. Other features include a large covered entry, covered balcony, large deck, private courtyard, and a two car garage with large storage/mechanical room. It should be noted that the main house is unique in the fact that its primary usage appears to be entertaining. It contains one primary bedroom, which is unique for a home of this size, and is not well equipped for overnight guests. This is most likely due to the number of secondary homes on the property and planned usage of the entire ranch.

The "Gingerbread House" is a two bedroom, two bathroom, two story, frame/wood/stone construction, and southwestern style home featuring a family room with fireplace, large screened porch and covered entry. The home is approximately 1,902 square feet and was noted to be built in 1985. The "Gingerbread House" is mainly functional as a guest or secondary house.

Features include above average or good quality construction, newer flooring, upgraded appliances including a built-in microwave, ceiling fans, vaulted ceilings, plant shelves, plantation shutters, mirrored closet doors, a soft water system, two car garage, garage service/utility room door, a deck and a screened in porch. The home is situated backing and siding a small stream that runs for a reported 12 months a year. It should be noted that this home appears to have been designed as a "stand alone" home versus the primary house and guest house design.
MANAGER'S HOUSE
