Springdale Ranch
The Springdale Ranch in SW Hamilton County is a ranch rich in history. It is named after the Springdale School that was built on site in 1878 as one of the first Schools in Hamilton County. In 1880 the teacher at Springdale School was T. A. Putnam who held a first grade certificate and was employed to teach a "Public Free School" for a term of 3 months at ten cents per day until the amount reached $25.00. School started on March 22 and ended on June 1. Gholson Creek traverses the ranch for approximately 4300 ft. Gholson Creek is rock bottom creek that rises one mile east of Pecan Wells, Tx and just west of FM 2005 in west Hamilton county and runs 11 miles to its mouth in the Cowhouse Creek one mile north of Shive.

Springdale ranch is 513 acres of untamed beauty that boasts 200 ft of elevation change from the banks of Gholson Creek to the top Of Chaney Peak, the fourth highest summit in Hamilton county at 1511 feet. Springdale ranch offers tremendous diversity and endless recreational opportunities. The front 2/3 of the ranch is rich native grass range land with scattered to thick tree cover of Live Oak, Spanish Oak, Pecan, Black walnut, Elm and a variety of native brush species. The clear waters of Gholson Creek are great for fishing and swimming or wading. Two Klein grass pastures provide hay production and grazing for livestock. The wooded creek bottom and wild rugged mountain offer excellent hunting for all kinds of game and varmints. There has been no deer hunting on this ranch since they bought in in 1998. The back 1/3 of the ranch is a wild and rugged mountain that is a pure wildlife habitat. The slopes of the mountain are solid timber with a mix of Spanish Oak, Red Bud, Elm, a variety of native brush and grass species. The top of the mountain is fairly flat with good soil and thick Shinery Oak brush with small open areas with large hardwood trees. From the top of the mountain you can see for miles in every direction and there are multiple "points" that offer great building sites. The ranch is modestly improved with a nice 1824 ft home with metal roof, central heat and air, country Kitchen and porches and 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. There is a nice 1400 st ft insulated shop, dog kennels, cattle pens, shed and windmill. There is a historic,restored log cabin sitting on the banks of Gholson creek. This is an awesome ranch that you must see to appreciate. THE OWNER BELIEVES TO OWN 100% OF THE MINERALS AND WILL TRANSFER THOSE TO THE BUYER WITH ACCEPTABLE OFFER.
