There are improved roads providing easy access up and down over 3.5 miles of private mountainsides.

Water: There are two working water wells, several ponds, one of which is reportedly 25 feet deep and stocked with fish, one is spring fed maintaining water levels throughout the year, and one covering over 5 acres when full. The house has a water meter with Blair Water Supply Corp.

Hunting: The hills of the CKS Ranch are teeming with whitetail deer, Rio Grande Turkey, Bob White quail, and wild hogs.
