Additionally, there are groomed Nordic trails on the Ranch in the winter for public use that are approved by the Ranch owner annually and optionally. Groomed access to the Nordic trails from the house is available. There is a conservation easement on 90 of the 124.6 acres so no permanent structures may be built on it, but private use is allowed.

The Ranch includes a 4,000-square-foot main residence with four bedrooms (including a bunkroom) and four and a half bathrooms.
