Notes about the Property:
- Transfer of ownership of any and all mineral rights are excluded from all sales.
- This ranch has many desirable features that add value and set it apart from other properties in the area.
- It has been developed and maintained as a working ranch/farm for many decades. Family owned since the mid 1800’s and has been improved over several generations, with emphasis on farming, ranching and preservation of wildlife habitat.
- The ranch has several large cleared and fenced fields with desirable topsoil suitable for farming. Varied topography is a major feature of this ranch. That includes level wooded areas and pastures, elevated mesas and hills with long distance hill country views and two creeks running through the property with elevated bluffs overlooking them in some areas and gently sloping valleys leading down to them in other areas. These creeks could be dammed to create beautiful and useful small lakes. There are numerous building sites throughout the ranch that will suit any preference.
- An active ongoing cedar control program has been in place for many decades. The only cedars found on the ranch are very small scrubs and very few in number. It does have a significant number of dead oak trees, which is quite common for the Texas hill country, but looking past those, there are many more healthy oaks.
- The ranch has full perimeter fencing in good condition with new fence across the south and west property lines and several large cleared and cross fenced fields suitable for farming or planting food plots for cattle or a big game herd. There are plenty of whitetail and a resident axis deer herd on the ranch.
- There are several water retention ponds on the property. The roads throughout the property are of sufficient quality and will accommodate a 2 wheel drive sedan throughout most parts of the ranch.
- There is a level flat cleared area approximately 2500 feet long running NW to SE that could easily become an air strip for light planes.
Owners will subdivide property.
