This ranch is located adjacent to the vast Pierce Ranch to the north and the 7,200 acre Blue Creek Ranch to the west and south. Both the adjoining ranches, and the area in general, are well known for fabulous water fowl hunting. There are three duck ponds currently located on the ranch. Two of the duck ponds are approximately 38 acres and the other is about 7 acres.

In addition to duck hunting, there are deer and wild hog hunting in the timber areas and along the creek.

Located between the creek and one of the duck ponds is a 25 acre area of beautiful oak trees with a 10 acre timber pond. This makes an excellent recreational area for fishing, duck hunting or canoeing.

Located in the northwest corner of the ranch, adjacent to the entrance, is a lake which is approximately 39 acres. Presently the lake area is divided into 4 smaller ponds. The divide levees could easily be removed and converted into one large recreational lake for fishing, water skiing and other water sports.

WATER: There are several domestic water wells located on the ranch along with 3 irrigation wells. Two of the irrigation wells are in poor condition. The ground water in this area is very good and a new irrigation well could be drilled to supply additional water.

IMPROVEMENTS: At the headquarters of the ranch is an old set of cattle pens, a 3,312 square foot barn, a 1,384 square foot camp house, a 528 square foot camp house, a 2,400 square foot Quonset barn and various small sheds and out buildings.

Located on the southern end of the farming area are three sprinkler irrigation systems. One 2,500 foot center pivot, a 1,400 foot lateral system and a 2,100 foot lateral. These systems can irrigate a total of about 570 acres.

The ranch is game fenced on its west and south boundaries, as well as a portion of the eastern boundary. There is typical barbed wire fencing on the remainder of the ranch along with cross fencing.

SOILS: The property is composed of excellent soil types which are conducive to farming and ranching. The soils are primarily Lake Charles Clay and Edna Complex.

COMMENTS: Properties of this size are seldom available and are not on the market long.
