The property is currently leased for grazing and raising hay crops, supported by prime AG soils and a coastal micro-climate. An AG well with underground service lines provides irrigation to roughly 30 acres, while several fenced pasture areas create an easy rhythm for livestock and land stewardship. With the River Walk Trail passing through along the Eel River levy, daily life here naturally blends agriculture and outdoor recreation.
