The main house, completed in 1866, is a classic Italianate Revival mansion , which was built on a knoll overlooking the Ohio River valley. The Farm's 1,344 acre expanse begins on the tree-lined banks of the Ohio River, sweeps back over rich bottom crop land, then ascends to grassy slopes and forested hills. West Virginia Highway 62 cuts through the Farm, paralleled by a CSX railroad main line. The southern boundary of the property runs along the northern limits of the city of Point Pleasant , which is the County Seat of Mason County , West Virginia . The Mason County Airport is a short five minute drive away.
Farm land is used to produce forages.
There are two concentrations of farm buildings for livestock housing, feed storage and support, as well as, a dairy center for milking operations and storage. There are nine houses for Farm employees. Farm operations have now been shifted from milk production to cash crops and custom-feeding of livestock. Planning for the future, the family contracted with a firm of land planners for a feasibility study , and had the Farm surveyed by aerial photography and digitally mapped. A Land Development Plan was then completed, which includes conceptual designs for portions of the Farm that are especially suited to commercial and residential uses .
