A beautiful 225 acre tract of historical property that runs from the spring fed San Marcos River, on its northern border, to an access corridor, adjacent to I-10, to the south.

TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT

The topography has a wonderful roll to it, going from a high point of 420ft down to 350ft, near the river. The crown jewel of the Hall Ranch is the 1200+/- ft of San Marcos River frontage. This unspoiled spring-fed river is perfect for swimming, fishing, kayaking/canoeing or simply a family picnic, under the canopy of towering trees lining the river.

The rangeland has been strategically cleared with nice open areas spotted with mesquite, oak and pecan trees. Along the creeks and riverbeds, there are dense woods with towering elms, oaks, cottonwoods and abundant pecan trees. There are roughly 100 acres of floodplain on the ranch, providing rich soils for improved grasses and productive crops. Two separate fields have been planted in Tifton-85 bermudagrass. The smaller, upper 16-acre tract, is utilized for grazing, with the lower 23-acre tract producing 50-100 round bales of hay, yearly. The soils throughout the property range from sandy clay to fine sandy loam, providing excellent conditions for native and improved grasses, along with other crops.

The habitat consists of a strategic mix of open areas and dense woods, creating excellent conditions for wildlife which include turkey, deer, hog and dove. The dove hunting is very good, deer are plentiful, and healthy numbers of turkey are consistently seen.
