Additional outdoor features include a fenced garden area, a fire pit situated near a row of mature spruce trees, and a 13-tree apple orchard located behind the pole building. Groomed trail systems throughout the property provide easy access for hunting, ATV riding, or property maintenance. A unique bonus is the presence of a gravel pit located in the field near the home.
