Water: Flat Rock Creek along with several other drainages traverse the property and will run water during wet time. There are 2 known springs on the ranch. One of the springs is named Coyote Spring and the other spring has a constant flow of water from of an old pipe that fills 2 cement troughs for livestock and wildlife. There is 1 pond on the property and several places that would be good locations to create additional water features. One working water well is near the center of the ranch that is powered by a submersible pump.
Improvements: There is electricity and a water well on the property plus numerous prime building sites with breathtaking views. There are a few old sheds and goat barns present on the ranch. The perimeter of the ranch is mostly low fencing with some being high-fence. The fences are in fair to poor condition.
Vegetation: Unlike many hill country ranches where cedar has choked out all the grasses and put stress on the hardwoods, this property has had years of cedar management allowing the trees to grow and grasses to spread. Some of the trees present on the property are Lacey Oak, Live Oak, Black Jack Oak, Spanish Oak, Cedar Elm, Pecan, Walnut, Sycamore and Persimmons.
Terrain: There is a good mixture of high hills with long distance views and creek bottoms with springs and deeper soils. Long distance views of the Texas Hill Country are all over this ranch. There is nearly 300 feet of elevation change on the property ranging 2000 feet ASL to 1710 feet ASL.
Wildlife: Native wildlife on the ranch includes, but is not limited to, whitetail deer, turkey, dove, hogs and varmints. Along with the native wildlife are free roaming exotic species such as Axis, Black Buck Antelope and Sika.
