This is not your average Texas property area. The large quantity of easily reached underground water has turned the Dell Valley into a multi-million dollar agricultural area. Yearly irrigated production consists of cotton, wheat, vegetables, grape vineyards, and flowers grown for commercial use. There are also thousands of head of cattle and sheep produced. Truck farmers also thrive in the valley. The rich soil in the Dell Valley is primarily made up of topsoil and sandy loam. The ground is flat to gently rolling. The vegetation varies from light to thick native grasses and cactus to sage brush and small trees. This property is zoned Agricultural / Residential which means you are allowed to raise animals and horses, which are very common in the area.
There is full legal access by way of 60 foot wide road easement. This road easement is not graded in at this time. However, it can be cleared as needed.
