Brunes Mill Road, Columbus, TX 78934 - Colorado County

Located just north of Columbus and next door to the Big Easy Ranch is the Black Gold Ranch. It is a beautiful property with towering oaks, a large fishing lake, and a great high-fenced hunting property. The property includes immaculate improvements including a main home on a hill overlooking the lake, a guest house, and a lake house. A large, enclosed storage barn with A/C, buried electric lines (including 3-phase power), and a back gate that leads to the Big Easy makes this unique and very private property highly desirable and almost impossible to duplicate.

LOCATION

The ranch is on Brunes Mill Road eight (8) miles north of Columbus. The property has over a half mile of paved road frontage on Brunes Mill Road. The ranch is 80 miles from Houston and 87 miles from Austin.

TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT

The property is rolling topography with over 90 of relief. It combines thicker woods and more open grasslands with primarily mature live oaks as well as other large trees such as water oaks, elms, juniper, and hackberries. The soils are sandy loams and the property is well drained with the topography and has no floodplain. A small, wooded creek runs through the property which provides great cover for the wildlife.

WILDLIFE

The Black Gold Ranch is high-fenced and includes genetically superior white-tailed deer and several species of exotics. The lake on the property attracts ducks in the winter, and there is a surprising number of quail and pheasant that find their way to the ranch from bird releases on the Big Easy.

IMPROVEMENTS

WATER

An eight (8) acre lake is below the main home and is well stocked with trophy bass and catfish. The lake is maintained by an irrigation well so that water levels can be controlled and the lack of a creek running into the lake allows the owner to maintain a lake free of trash fish and operate a true trophy bass lake.

Groundwater here is plentiful, coming from the Gulf Coast Aquifer. There are two water wells on the property, one water well is 140 deep and utilized for the houses, while a deeper well (480), is used primarily for keeping the bass lake full and is on 3-phase power.

This beautiful property offers direct access to the Big Easy Club next door. From your private ranch you have easy and direct access to one of the top 18-hole golf courses in the State, a large clubhouse with outstanding food and amenities. Imagine driving your own golf cart to access the wonderful array of activities and never having to use public roads and then being able to go back home to your own private ranch when the activities are done!
