The property—made up of four parcels, two north and two south of Gall Road—has farmland (leased), woodlands and the Little Bushkill Creek, with steep slopes on the eastern side of the stream. Scenic views are available in almost all directions from the highest elevation on the largest parcel. The Plainfield Township Recreation Trail runs through the western part of the property. An agricultural easement is on the northeast side and an agricultural security area is located on the eastern side of the property.
