When the water levels at Lake Hattie are high, the property has an island. A newly completed sea wall borders the north edge of the lake protecting the property and improvements from erosion and destruction. Antelope and wild horses frequent the property almost daily. Other animals that can be seen on the property include ducks, geese, pelicans, fox, coyotes, mule deer, and the occasional elk. With panoramic mountain views and an ideal access to Lake Hattie, this lot is one of most serene and tranquil on the Wild Horse Ranch where over 350 horses roam free.
