DETAILED:
Outside Description:
We have huge large front and back porches with plenty of space. Each porch has 2 large rocking chairs, a barrel table to rest your items, outdoor sockets, 96 feet of string lights for each porch, spotlights, and porch lights. The back porch has a large dining table and a large lounging couch. There are outdoor blankets in the footlocker on the porch for chilly nights. The 6-person hot tub and the 15’ fire pit are to the left of the back porch, & we stock firewood for you to use. The fire pit has a wood rack, ash bucket, long fire pit forks, 8 polywood Adirondack chairs, plus more spare chairs at the barn, plus plenty of log stumps to sit around the fire pit and make s’mores, roast hot dogs, or have plenty of cocktails. There is also a picnic area to the north that is nearly completed. The area’s roadways and trails are ideal for walking, biking, hiking, ideal for UTV/ ATVs, both on and off the property (Keese Rd. is perfect for a long UTV tour). Because of the open land, there is a great biodiversity throughout the area. We are also super-dog friendly!
Stargazing, Celestial Events, & Astronomy:
The Outpost sits at an elevation of 2,100 feet and there is no light pollution or visual blockage - ideal for stargazers! It provides for a crystal-clear observation of the heavens and is perfect for watching all manner of celestial events such as a solar eclipse, meteor showers, lunar events, galaxy positions, planetary events, constellations, conjunctions, the Milky Way, and much, much more. We also provide a Celestron Travel Scope 60 Telescope and many astronomical books in our library.
Agritourism:
The Outpost is a great place to experience agritourism. We have a diversity of wildlife, including deer, coyotes, foxes, racoons, porcupines, armadillos, wild turkey, eagles, hawks, owls, hummingbirds, many other bird species, many species of insects and arthropods, a huge diversity of plants, flowers, and cacti, and so much more. There are numerous observation spots throughout the property, so you can get a close-up view of the animals. In the fall, we host an annual monarch butterfly migration. Hundreds of thousands of monarchs stop at our property to refuel on their journey to Mexico. Also in the fall, we have an annual Angus cattle grazing. The cattle help to maintain the health of the ecosystem by providing nutrients for the soil. We also planted some peaches and experimental vines.
Here are some additional details:
- The observation spots are in areas where the animals are most active near feeding areas including the back porch.
- The monarch butterfly migration is a spectacular event that is sure to amaze visitors of all ages. Please research first as environmental conditions may cause increases or decreases in populations and flowers.
- The diversity of plants, flowers, and cacti on the property is a feast for the eyes.
- The annual Angus cattle grazing is a unique opportunity to see these animals up close.
- The hummingbirds surround the cabin during spring & summer seasons.
- Listen to the coyotes’ howl and owls hoot during nightfall and daybreak.
