0 McGowan Ranch Road , Menard, TX 76859(Menard County)

WATER: The site features about mi of frontage on the strong flowing San Saba River, which is said to have never stopped flowing in this area near the headwater springs. This frontage includes several wide, deeper holes suitable for swimming, floating, kayaking or rope swings. Fishing is excellent, with stringers of perch, bass and catfish not uncommon.

Seasonal Sheen Draw passes thru the eastern section of the ranch, holding potholes in wetter times. Groundwater is adequate in this area for livestock and domestic purposes, at depths of 150 250. For more information on area groundwater, contact the Menard County UWD at Off: (325) 396-3670.

LAND: This ranch shows a little more dramatic topo than most in the area, with a total fall of 125 feet from the high point to the most downstream river. The uplands are brushy, but not too thick, and there is presently an excellent stand of native grasses and forbs in place after good rains.

The liveoak and mesquite country, with some heavy stands of hardwoods along Sheen Draw, is a veritable turkey central. Excellent varied cover and shrubs benefit solid populations of whitetail deer, dove, varmints and some hogs. Agarita, persimmon and prickly pear are dominant, though never overly so.

The McGowan easement road cuts off the river section from the main portion of the ranch, but is easily crossed and navigated, and provides good access to much of the ranchs perimeter. Outside of that, there appear to be no other easements on site other than electric and phone service.

IMPROVEMENTS: The ranch is fenced and cross fenced, and some of the fencing is new, while interior ranch roads allow adequate passage over the majority of the site. There is electricity to several locations along the river as well.

SUMMARY: This is surely the most high-value offering in the area at this time, and is a fascinating ranch upon close examination.
