The river flows from west to east through the ranch. Not only is the river a beautiful part of the ranch, it is also a vital resource for wildlife habitat and the livestock operation. A new water pipeline with approximately 14 miles of pipeline installed feeds 23 water tanks throughout the ranch. The pipeline ties several water wells together and provides excellent water throughout the ranch. Of the 23 tanks, 6 of them are thermo-sinks which feature a unique design that uses geothermal warmth to keep the water line and float from freezing. The self circulating water keeps the water fresh and inhibits algae build up. The main headquarters is served by a water well, which is reported to be 840 feet deep. The Plum Creek drainage, which is typically intermittent, runs through the middle portion of the ranch for approximately 3 miles. There are also several seasonal reservoirs scattered throughout the property. All water rights permitted and adjudicated to the subject property will be transferred to the buyer.
