Land

This 441.714 acres of Ag Exempt native land is covered with massive live oaks along the creek bed with more scattered in between several open areas of native grass. The property is mostly flat and slopes towards Elm Creek Drainage located at the Northeast corner. The drainage area serves as an excellent travel corridor for the deer, turkey, and hogs. The grass in the front pasture is mostly King Ranch Bluestem and Klein, with other native grasses mixed in making it perfect for cattle. There is approximately 90 acres of floodplain/creek bottom located at the back of the property along the Elm Creek Drainage.

Improvements/Utilities/Water

There are several power lines running across the property in two separate locations making for easy access. The power lines are even buried under the runway to keep away from the landing strip when it was previously in operation. The property is perimeter fenced and cross fenced with some of the interior fences in need of repair. A small stock tank in the front is also still holding water in the summer heat and provides much needed water to your herd. A recently tested water well is in place next to power line and just needs a pump, power and you are cattle ready.
