Stray Farm

Is there anything to see at the site of Stray Farm? I know that it's just off the Pilkem/Langemark road, near the 'Iron Cross' crossroads. The great-grandfather of one of the pupils on my October tour (Lt. John Richard Hobhouse MC) was based in an OP there during 3rd Ypres. To be honest , from Google maps, it looks like a modern farm complex at the end of a private road, so access is probably doubtful.

I can see why Stray Farm was used as an OP, that location would give good vivibility to the east.
