Water sources details
The property is supported by two drilled wells, providing reliable water access for residential and agricultural use. Baldwin Creek runs through the property, offering consistent seasonal flow typical of mountain-fed systems. Several natural springs are present on the land, contributing to strong groundwater recharge and overall water availability. Seasonal waterfalls also occur throughout the property, reflecting the natural hydrology and adding to the land’s unique character. This combination provides excellent water security and flexibility for irrigation and farm use.

The property is currently undergoing subdivision, and infrastructure availability will vary by lot. Existing infrastructure across the property includes access roads, established driveways, and utility availability in certain areas. Portions of the land also include wells, agricultural fields, and existing farm structures. The layout allows for flexible infrastructure development depending on the needs of the farm operation.

The easement is intended to preserve long-term agricultural viability and natural resources while allowing active working land use. Any specific use should be reviewed in accordance with easement terms.

Other tenure arrangement
The primary goal is to sell subdivided parcels of the property to farmers or agricultural users. I am open to flexible arrangements to facilitate a sale, including owner financing or lease-to-own options with strong terms (e.g., 50% down). Short- to mid-term leases may also be considered as a transition toward purchase. The intent is to match the right farmer with the right parcel while maintaining active agricultural use and responsible land stewardship.
