LAND

The habitat on this ranch consists of a rolling, oak dominated savannah, interspersed with other native tree, brush, and grass species such as Texas persimmon, Mesquite, Cedar elm, Black hickory, and Little bluestem. Live oak is the primary and most visible oak species, with scattered Spanish oak, Blackjack oak, and Shinnery oak. At the center of the property near the cabin, there are some very special groves of mature Live oaks with large crowns. Soils consist of deep sandy loams along Deer Creek and the secondary drainages that feed it, to shallower, more rocky soils on the hillsides. The elevation ranges from 1,500 feet along Deer Creek up to 1,640 feet in multiple sections of the property.

WATER

Deer Creek runs for 4,235 feet through the upper end of ranch, flowing from east to west, with three smaller seasonal creeks flowing into it in the center of the property. There is a short dam near the cabin area that can back-up water during non-drought periods. Owning both sides of the creek, there is an opportunity to enlarge the dam and create a significant water feature. Along Deer Creek and all of the secondary drainages, there are many beautiful rock outcroppings which add to the unique character of this ranch. There is a water well (water at 12 feet, drilled to 125 feet), yielding 8 GPM that was completed in February 2024 which sits next to the cabin. The well is serviced with a windmill which pumps water into an adjacent concrete holding tank.

WILDLIFE

White-tailed deer are especially abundant and have been lightly hunted over the years. Rio Grande turkey, mourning & white-wing dove, and other indigenous wildlife species such as raptors, songbirds, various small mammals, and reptiles are also abundant and are commonly seen. There is an Ag-Exemption in-place. Deep, loamy soils found in the flats along Deer Creek provide multiple, ideal locations for food plots, hunting blinds, and feeder stations.

IMPROVEMENTS

Cabin, Fencing & Roads

There is a small 312 SF cabin built around 1940, complete with an old pot-bellied wood stove, that has served the family as a rustic hunting cabin through the years. The cabin sits in the center of the property along Deer Creek with the water well and water storage tank sitting nearby. There are two (2) wooden tower deer blinds that will convey in the sale. The ranch is entirely perimeter fenced and is in good condition. There are no interior cross fences, but there are approximately 2.50 acres of fenced-in area adjacent to the cabin that serve to trap livestock.
