LAND & WILDLIFE

Outstanding views are the defining characteristic of this property. There is a high, peninsula shaped ridge that sits in the middle of the property offering 180-degree panoramic views to the south, east, and west. There are multiple potential build sites anywhere along this ridge. The highest elevation is 2,011 along the center ridge near the north boundary and falls to 1,927 at the south end of the property.

There are two seasonal creeks that run north to south along both sides of the high, center ridge. On the south end of the tract there are deeper soils within multiple natural openings, which could be an ideal location for a wildlife feeder or small food plot.

The dominant tree cover is a mixture of live oak, cedar elm, and other native varieties. Most of the live oaks on the property have downed limbs from the 2021 ice storm, but they appear to be healthy and rebounding nicely. The property hosts robust herds of White-tailed deer and Axis deer, with Rio Grande turkey and Mourning dove also being abundant.

COMMUNITY, HOA & PRIVACY

The Ranches at Crabapple Springs has 16 total tracts with 15 owners. There are currently two completed homes with full-time residents within the subdivision. The first is the HOA president and the second has a subdivision-wide grazing lease that provides an ag-exemption for all of the tracts. The HOA meets annually on the last Saturday of September and the dues are $500 per year. The subject property is very private as it sits in the northeast corner of the subdivision. It is very quiet and no road noise can be heard from anywhere on the property.

WATER, ELECTRICITY, & FENCING

The seasonal drainages on the property offer opportunities to construct a pond, as water would be sourced from the surrounding watershed. There is not a water well on the property, but groundwater is strong in the area.

There is CTEC power available at the south end of the tract. The north boundary is low fenced and is in good condition. The west and east boundaries are not fenced.
