On the property, you'll find a primary log home, two original homestead cabins, three guest or ranch hand log cabins, a shop, a spacious pole barn for equipment or hay storage, and an additional barn for hay and horses.

Inside the residential area are limited commercial and non-commercial recreational uses, rental, and new buildings allowed. The other two conservation areas are with the Forest Service and are located by the river and cover approximately 514 acres.
