TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT
The improved portion is located on the west side near the frontage. This section is elevated with great views of the surrounding area and the river bottom. The majority of the bottomland provides income-producing hay crops and the remaining pastures afford native grassland for grazing and wildlife. The pasture areas consist of both improved and native grasses. The bottomland of the property is in the floodplain but is rare to exceed its banks. Many mature oak and pecan trees are around the improvements, along the river, and following the seasonal creek near the southern boundary.

WILDIFE
The ranch has great hunting options with many attractive qualities to draw in wildlife including large whitetail deer. The food plots provide an excellent food source and the river an unlimited water supply. Large Oak and other mature trees offer shade, cover, and an acorn crop. The river contributes abundant fishing opportunities for bass, catfish, crappie, and gar while providing a haven for migrating geese and resident populations of dove, duck, heron, and turkey.
