Water and Natural Resources:
The ranch is blessed with an abundant water table (Evangeline Aquifer). East Bernard Creek flows N to S through the ranch and offers live water 100% of the time. Ground water from wells also contribute to a stout natural water supply. There are 14 total wells; 7 electric wells, 2 windmills and numerous lakes and ponds.
Improvements and Cattle Operation:
In addition to the public road frontage along Orange Hill Road and Oilfield Road of 1.4 miles there are exceptional interior gravel roads that access all parts of the property estimated to total 6+ miles.
