This is a wonderful multi-use ranch, consisting of approximately 75% park-like meadows of rolling hills covered in thick clean coastal and dotted with hundreds, if not thousands, of giant live oaks. The balance is just enough native south Texas brush including big bull mesquite to create an outstanding environment for the wildlife located on the ranch. The soil is a sandy loam perfect for all farming and ranching activities and through rotational grazing, the owners have stocked up to 250 animal units while still maintaining the integrity of the pastures. There are numerous high hills and expansive views that would be perfect for the construction of a new dream home. This well watered ranch has 14 surface tanks up to 5 acres in size, almost one per pasture, creating abundant watering sources for both livestock and wildlife.

The infrastructure is first class all the way. High on a hill, overlooking two lakes and rolling oak covered coastal pastures, is a comfortable two bedroom, three bathroom ranch home with a rock exterior and tile roof. There are front and back porches from which one could enjoy the expansive views and gentle south Texas breezes. It comes complete with a fireplace, security system and two car garage. A canopy of oaks shade the fenced yard of carpet grass complete with sprinkler system. At the headquarters area there is another 4 bedroom / 2 bathroom ranch house, multiple barns and sheds, grain silos and an elaborate set of covered pipe working pens with a hydraulic chute and several turnouts and catch pens. There are literally miles of fences and lanes in excellent condition that make moving cattle throughout the 15 pastures a snap as well as another very nice set of pipe working pens. A highlight of this jewel is the irrigation well. It is run by a diesel pump, is 510 deep, has a 14 inch casing and has been tested at over 1800 gallons per minute. It is used to irrigate the hay fields and keep some of the tanks full. There is another 6 water well at the main house that has a 10 hp pump and produces an estimated 200+ gallons per minute as well as a domestic well at the headquarters area and an additional windmill well at the secondary working pens.
