ECOREGION: BLRR is located in the ecoregion of the Limestone Plains. The Limestone Plains ecoregion is composed of thin strata of Permian-age limestone, sandy limestones, and mudstone. The Limestone Plains are covered by mixed grass prairie of little bluestem, yellow Indiangrass, and buffalograss, with scattered honey mesquite. However, upland soils are often thin, rocky, and droughty in the vicinity of limestone outcrops. Drier (or eroded) areas support desert shrubs such as lotebush, agarita, tree cholla, and ephedra. At the southern end of the Limestone Plains, scattered plateau live oak grow with the mesquite shrub. As in some other limestone-based ecoregions in Texas, land use is dominated by grazing rather than cultivated agriculture. A minor amount of wheat or sorghum may be grown in deeper alluvial soils. For more information, visit the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department's (TPWD)official website.

WATER: The ranch has prime time frontage of about 2,700 feet on the always-running (per owner past 7 years) Concho River, which is up to 50 yards wide in this area, and an average of 4 to 6 feet deep depending upon season. This water is semi-clear, and great for fishing, swimming, boating and other water-based activities. Catfish up to 35 lbs. have been caught by owners, and bass, perch and bait fish are abundant as well.

The river is mostly dirt bank, but is easily accessible at multiple locations, and the present owners have put in a fishing boat on numerous occasions.

Another major water feature of BLRR is a system of 5 good stock tanks, and several other smaller ones, the largest of which covers about 4 acres when full. These impoundments are attractive to wildlife and waterfowl, and several are stocked with catfish, bass and perch.

A water system driven by a shallow well with submersible pump serves the entire ranch, and there are reservoirs strategically positioned to insure fresh water for livestock and wildlife in all areas. It is noted that there are several high volume wells west of the ranch in the Fuzzy Creek drainage, which passes through the subject. Both Fuzzy Creek and Pistol Creek flow water in wet times on the property.

Additionally, the property includes a paid-up meter from the Millersview-Doole Water Supply Company, which has never been activated, but is on the ready to do so at any time one might choose. For further information on area groundwater, contact the Lipan-Kickapoo Water Conservation District.

LAND: The property rolls down about 170 from north to south, with one major drainage defining the north side of the highway, and the confluence of two drainages defining the southern portion. This is mesquite and brush country, with scattered vegetation being woody shrubs and small hackberry and oak trees. Several vista points provide spectacular overlooks of the Concho Valley below.

Beautiful, enormous pecan trees line sections of the river, and a pecan bottom park is manicured and inviting. The lower section of Fuzzy Creek is also heavily wooded, with some large oak/elm/hackberry providing turkey roosts. An old pecan orchard still has about 30 active trees, and there are dozens more along the river.

Over 50% of the soils are loam or clay loam, and the ranch features good stands of native and introduced grasses, including coastal Bermuda, kleingrass, Wilmans lovegrass and curly mesquite. These grasses and shrubs support and provide cover for a variety of wildlife, including whitetail deer, turkey, dove, quail and varmints. The general livestock stocking rate for this type of country is one animal unit/10-15 acres.

IMPROVEMENTS: The ranch features an extensively-remodeled, stone ranch house of about 2,700 sf, with 3BR/3BA. Think combo of the sixties and Hill Country chic, its really kinda cool! The rambling home is the center of a compound that includes a classic ranch tank swimming pool, outbuildings, patios, pens, parking area, carport and hunting cabin. A large, 40x60 barn adjoins the home, and has concrete floor and work/storage areas, and a paved driveway connects the house to the highway.

Extensive personal property can be included with the sale, see attached list, at extra cost above the ranch sales price, to make this pretty much a turn-key possibility!

SUMMARY: This is a potential showplace just waiting for someone to come along and take it to the next level. The basics are in place, the dressing awaits. The improvements are functional and useful, with value. The variety of land from river bottom to hilltops is excellent, and the combo of ag/recreation is powerful on this unit. Rare is the chance to own improved Concho River land in this area with minerals, at this price. We welcome your inquiries, and appreciate your consideration.
