Newly constructed cattle pens complete with a sorting area and chute have been erected between and behind the pastures. The acreage is completely high fenced along the perimeter, with brand new interior high fence as well. The pasture area comprises 130 acres of fine cattle and horse grazing, and has been in hay production through 2012. A 30 easement was granted to neighbors outside the north high fenced perimeter, and is not seen from the house. An amazing feature of this ranch is the 1000 elevation mountain behind the homes and shop area with fantastic 25 mile views from the top, accessed by jeep, riding and walking trails. This gives the ranch a diversity of rich, level field land up front, and the heavily wooded rocky Hill Country topography of the mountain. Wildlife on the ranch include an abundance of turkey, dove and introduced 300 whitetail deer genetics. There is also a small cattle herd on the pastures and oak shaded pens. A newly constructed fishing tank is located at the edge of the pastures in front of the home. This is a rare combination of the finest in living quarters, ranching, recreation and hunting with a complete diversity of topography all in one turn-key offering!
