Brokers Comments

The good ones don’t get traded a lot and this is a good one! The Highwood Mountain Ranch has changed hands twice; once around 1915 and again in 1936. This ranch goes from benches of hay ground to rolling foothill pastures to timbered mountains, all the while being watered by 3 spring-fed creeks originating on the ranch. Located in a rainfall area of more than 18 inches. You don’t find them any better!
