Evant, TX 76525(Hamilton County)

Certainly, one of the shining stars on this ranch is its Lampasas River frontage as it meanders around a beautiful coastal hay meadow of about 30 acres. The Lampasas is known to be a reliable source of water and maintained good flow, even in the recent drought. In addition to the river frontage, there is a newly dug stock tank at the other end of the ranch providing water to stock/wildlife at another point on the ranch. Lastly, there is one water well on the property and it services the small cabin and nearby cattle working pen. There are several other places on the ranch that have springs that feed into draws and eventually into the river. Of course, these springs can come and go based on rainfall, but do create a well-watered ranch to help support the livestock and various wildlife species that inhabit the property.

Land:

The land is a good mix of fertile pasture ground near the river to high hilltops with awesome distant views. This ranch offers a diverse topographic environment, yet maintains an easy, comfortable feeling and allows you to drive around to virtually every part of the ranch. Cover on the ranch is good, especially in the ravines that follow the bottom areas and draws. Much of the property has been cleared of cedar leaving areas of open, rolling, grass-covered hills and valleys with many spectacular Live Oak trees dotting the countryside. Other hardwoods include, Spanish Oak, Post Oak and Elm.

This ranch is located within the Southwest Hamilton Wildlife Association boundary and therefore has all of the rights and privileges associated with a wildlife minded organization. The SWHWA is made up of private land owners working together to benefit the wildlife within their associations boundary. The end result is a better hunting/wildlife experience yielding a higher quality, managed deer population for all involved.

Improvements:

A remodeled, cozy, 2 bedroom 1 bath cedar cabin sits on a knoll overlooking the hay meadow and on to the river. Alongside the cabin is a tidy, newly constructed (yet still not completely finished) bunkhouse. Rounding out the improvements is a barn/shop with an adjoining deer cleaning station and freestanding storage/feed building. Cattle are easily worked in the new pipe pens set near the home and other improvements. The property is about 75% perimeter fenced and it has been recently replaced. The only portion not fenced lies along the river frontage which has been deliberately left open to allow easy access to the river and keep the cows from the hay meadow.

Asking Price:

Listing price is $649,000 for the entire 163+ acres including the cabin and all other improvements.
