The ranch has mature, diverse timber, mainly hardwoods, and several planted pine tree stands. There is a well-maintained trail system that allows thoughtful access to the ranch. Much of the pasture has been terraced as it was historically farmland, which benefits the land by catching and holding rainfall along the contours.
