The Croton Creek ranch is a very scenic property described as semi rugged, beautiful and fairly remote. Elevations range from around 1,500 to above 1,775. Vegetation is generally dense over much of the ranch and generally consists of mesquite and low juniper. Soils are primarily fairly shallow and rocky with rugged hillsides and slopes consisting of rock and gypsum outcrops.

WATER FEATURES:

Two live creeks flow through the ranch. Croton Creek flows through the property for almost two miles. Weddington Creek flows through the ranch for approximately 3.25 miles. These creeks have proven to be generally reliable as they typically seem to run water. Aside from live water in the two creeks there are three earthen dirt tanks on the ranch.

HUNTING, WILDLIFE AND RECREATION:

This general area holds good populations of wildlife including whitetail deer, wild boar and bobwhite quail. There are predators such as coyotes and fox as well as good migratory and native flights of dove.

IMPROVEMENTS:

The ranch is very nicely improved by a move-in-ready modular home. This home is in new condition and contains three bedrooms, two baths, an office/storage room and three covered patios. A large railroad container is located near the home that would be very useful for storing feed and grain, ATVs, hunting vehicles, etc. Additionally, there is an insulated water storage building nearby that houses a large water tank and pressure tank. The ranch is fenced on three sides and fences are generally all in good condition. Along County Road 352 the boundary is currently not fenced, however, seller will fence this portion of the property at seller's expense. Fencing shall be constructed of pipe braces, five strand barbed wire and T-post construction, similar to existing perimeter fences.
