Kulrich Property

This is our private home on 10 acres. The property has a ton of trees, wildlife, and a creek. We are exactly one mile down the road from Biers Brewery (dog friendly) and across from a farm. We are located in the country but less than 7 minutes from down town. Very low traffic area. We have private parking and an 8 month old fully vaccinated St. Bermastiff that loves to play (if your dog likes to also) or we can arrange for private use.

Birch Point Farm

This is an old farm, partly in production. Always pre-arrange a visit, no drop-ins. Great for curious explorers, great for dogs who respond well to verbal commands. NOT good for bolters or chicken-chasers. Lots of room to run, play frisbee/fetch, some areas fine for digging. Please help us deter deer😊
