1184 acres, subject to survey

SUMMARY:

This end of the road ranch has been in the same family for over seventy years. This is the first time the ranch has been for sale in seven decades. The total size of the Dobbs Ranch is 2560 acres. The family ownership proposes to sell the two northwest pastures consisting of 1,184+/- acres or approximately one-half of the ranch. However, the ownership might consider selling the entire 2560 acres.

A major cedar clearing project has been completed removing an estimated three hundred acres of cedar from ridges in the northeast Well Pasture. Live Oak, Shin Oak, Blue Oak and Pinion Pines trees are visible on the mountain tops and hill sides where cedar has been removed. This project will enhance wildlife habitat and livestock grazing.

TERRAIN & VEGETATION:

The terrain is a combination of rolling hill tops and deep, heavily wooded canyons separated by limestone ledge outcroppings. The rough wooded areas in the numerous canyons provides a haven for a variety of wild game animals to hide out. Vegetation includes live oak, pinion pine, mountain laurel, shin oak, kenneykennick, blueberry jumpier and blue oak trees. Grass species includes curly mesquite, love grass, dropseed, KR Bluestem, purple thereon and other species of grass native to the area.

HUNTING:

Several years ago livestock was removed from the ranch to enhance hunting. A year around wildlife feeding program was established after livestock was removed from the ranch. Whitetail deer, sika deer, aoudad, axis, occasional elk, and wild hogs are the primary game species that roam the ranch.

The water well near the entrance to the 1280 acres is about eighty seven deep and is equipped with windmill and submersible pump. The second water well is located on top of a hill near the middle area of the ranch and is equipped with submersible pump. The well is about 360 ft. deep. Pipe lines are laid north and south from this well to reservoirs. Additional water stations could be installed along the pipe lines.
