The Danza Del Rio Ranch presents an excellent hunting and recreational opportunity approximately 60 miles from Houston. This northwest Brazoria County ranch features huge oaks, good elevated field roads, lots of deer and hogs, is mostly out of the 100 year flood plain, and has a nice camp. It neighbors approximately 1,500 acres of the San Bernard Wildlife Refuge (Austins Woods portion) on two sides. 888 acres of this property are under conservation easement.
LOCATION
Approximately 3 miles north of Old Ocean/Highway 35. Primary access is the blacktop to the gate via CR 3 from either FM 524 or FM 1459. West Columbia is minutes away for gas, groceries, and great BBQ. An all-weather road leads from CR 3 to the camp.
TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT
Magnificent trophy live oaks dot this property and are well distributed across the ranch. Formerly cleared pasture land, the current owner planted thousands of trees, including sugarberry, green ash, American elm, cedar elm, water hickory, sweet pecan, water oak, willow oak, Shumard oak, nuttall oak, and live oaks approximately 10 years ago, restoring this property to a hardwood bottom.
Unlike much of the woodlands in Brazoria County, this property is largely outside of the 100 year flood plain, with post-Harvey maps showing only approximately 25- 30 acres as Zone A, all along Dance Bayou, which runs onto and along the propertys southwest fenceline.
Soils are predominantly Lake Charles Clay (blackland).
WILDLIFE
Deer and hogs are plentiful. Hunting is permitted under the conservation easement. Hunting opportunities are increased by a handful of field roads, pipeline right-of-ways, and other easements that provide plenty of edge habitat and potential blind locations.
IMPROVEMENTS
A comfortable camp with a detached garage sits off of the all-weather road into the ranch. The 2:2 house measures 1,200 SF, has a full kitchen and spacious living room and a nice covered porch. The garage is two-car with some additional storage area and a full bath. The home and yard are fenced in on approximately 1.4 acres and outside of the area under the conservation easement.
A 9,350 SF of cattle barn and lean-to covered area are a short distance away for additional storage. This area is also outside of the conservation easement. This would be a nice area for a small pond or new home.
MINERALS
Surface only. Owners are not believed to own any minerals. There is a pipeline meter station located on the property.
