Land & Water

Mature bull Mesquite dot the landscape which is approximately 70 % brush and 30% pasture. In the 1990s, the entire property was open pasture but over time the brush has made a comeback providing excellent cover and forage for wildlife with most of the common high protein brush species present. The pastures contain a mix of native and introduced grass species. Therefore, both livestock and native wildlife can thrive here. The 105 acres has over 60 of elevation change ranging from 440 to 380. Most of the runoff from the property flows toward a pond in the southern portion of the property. With some cleanup and renovation this approximate .5 acre basin could be a great asset to the property for both fishing and wing shooting. The area immediate adjacent to the pond is a superb location for a dove food plot. The current owner has been supplementing feed to the whitetail deer but has not harvested a single animal from the property since 2011. Whitetail Deer, Rio Grande Turkey, Bobwhite Quail, Whitewing Dove, Mourning Dove, and feral hogs all frequent the property.

Trees and brush species observed on the property include Live Oak, Mesquite, Cedar Elm, Huisache, Granjeno, Lotebush, Narrowleaf foresteria, Brazil, Guayacan, Desert Yaupon, Texas Persimmon, Agarita, Twisted Acacia, and Lime Prickly Ash. Other notable species include Prickly Pear, Tasajillo, Cowpen Daisy, Western Ragweed, Yellow Indian Mallow, Texas Croton, Lazy Daisy, and Lantana. Grass species observed include Texas Grama, Plains Bristlegrass, Texas Bristlegrass, Hooded Windmill Grass, Texas Wintergrass, Coastal Bermuda, KR Bluestem, Threeawn, Bufflegrass, and Wilmans Lovegrass.

The entire perimeter fence was replaced in 2020 with 5-strand barbwire. There are three entrances off HWY 59 two of which are double gated, one being recessed for ease of access of long trailers. The main entrance to the home has a paved chip seal driveway.
