CJ8 Turkey Creek Ranch
The CJ8 Turkey Creek Ranch is a spectacular south Texas high fenced ranch with everything in place to start enjoying on day one!

Covered porches with sitting and relaxing areas are found on the south and west sides along with an outdoor kitchen (complete with a drop down television). Nearby are also a firepit and a concrete cowboy hot/cold tub fed with naturally hot water from the deep Carrizo well or cooler water from the domestic well, and a small garden.

A short distance away are the foremans house, the game cleaning facility (including a walk-in cooler), equipment shed, feed silo, shop, former deer pens and the guest overflow/guide quarters.
The ranch is perimeter high fenced (great shape and maintained). The northern 121+/- acre pasture is separately high fenced and there is a 15 acre fenced pasture north of the lodge.
WATER
Turkey Creek, a wet weather creek, traverses the ranch for approximately 1.25 miles.
There are 7 lakes/ponds on the ranch, ranging from acre to over 2 acres in size, and all are supplemented with water from the high volume well. All of the lakes except one support recreational fish populations and the small lake near the lodge is used to produce baitfish and catfish. These lakes/ponds are the primary water source for the ranchs wildlife and exotic livestock.
The 7 lakes/ponds are supplemented via piped water from a high volume well located near the southern boundary. This irrigation well was drilled in 2006 to a depth of 2,200 feet and tested over 1,000 GPM. It is currently outfitted with a 75 HP electric submersible and produces approximately 600 GPM.
There is one domestic well and cattle are currently pastured just north of headquarters and utilize trough water from the domestic well. The domestic well is also used for the yard irrigation system, garden, the barns and pens at the headquarters.
City water is used for the residential structures and game cleaning facility.
ELECTRICITY
Electricity is available at several locations, including 3 phase power.
MINERALS
This offering is surface only. There are two well maintained active oil & gas sites on the ranch that are accessed from a different entrance so as to minimize impact on the ranch.
