LAND: It’s not often a ranch of this quality comes onto the market. So much diversity is packed into this hidden gem, it truly feels twice the size. Starting with direct access from I10, a new road (sedan friendly) will invite you in as you approach a solar powered gate. As the mechanical gate opens for you, you will immediately find a manicured canopy of oak trees drawing you towards a new custom cabin. The wrap-around porch and finish-out in this cabin are enough to satisfy the most selective owners. Starting at the north side of this tract, Buck Hollow watershed offers seasonal springs which support a high concentration of wildlife including whitetail, great axis, blackbuck, sika, turkey, and bobcat (no hogs). For eight years, the previous owner regularly fed 200 pounds of feed EACH NIGHT where the new cabin is located. It is not uncommon to see countless herds of axis and whitetail feeding together here in the evenings. Buck Hollow draw meanders thru this ranch offering picturesque scenery throughout. Multiple canyons on the property offer dramatic elevation changes. Selectively cut roads will lead you along gentle creek bottom valleys, and up to rougher hill top terrain where you’ll find breath-taking views. An area wildlife biologist recently spotted two Indian Mounds on the property, and several arrowheads and carving tools have since been discovered.

The terrain holds a variety of native trees and grasses. Cover consists of Spanish Oak, Live Oak, Shin Oak, Persimmon, and the occasional Mesquite. The acorn variety yield abundant natural food sources for the concentration of wildlife. Selective clearing of approximately 70 acres of cedar offers balance by maintaining key cover for wildlife, yet providing sensitive natural spring areas much needed cedar removal. A reseeding program was also implemented for these 70 acres using the following native grasses: Little Native Bluestem, Plains Bristlegrass, Haskell Gramma, Lometa Indiangrass, Green Sprangletop, Maximillian Sunflower, Native Sunflower, Purple and White Prairie Clover, and Englemann Daisy. The Texas drought has delayed the new grass growth, but this seed bank only needs a bit of rain to finish the project. The west pasture perimeter has relatively new high fencing. The north and east perimeter have standard height fencing, some new, some old. The south perimeter is fair and incomplete.

IMPROVEMENTS: The custom cabin was built in 2010 and boasts warm wood walls and trim, vaulted ceilings, washer/dryer, dishwasher, wrap-around porch, and tasteful finish-out and décor. It is supported by one water well, new jet pump, and on-site septic tank. A large container offers storage for feed and UTV’s. Several electrical outlets located in a park across from the cabin offer convenient parking for multiple RVs (or potential KOA)
