A low lying area runs through the middle of the ranch that turns into a small creek and feeds into a pond surrounded by live oak trees. The house has an electric well that serves the main house and nearby improvements as well as a concrete trough that provides water for one of the pastures. The second electric well supplies two small wildlife troughs, the quail pen and a pond in the front pasture. The third well is pumped by a windmill and fills the pond and a concrete trough in the middle pasture. There is also a fourth well that can be pumped with an air compressor.   Wildlife The ranch was originally purchased by the owner in 1997 as a quail hunting getaway. Since then, it has been managed to provide high quality habitat for quail and other wildlife. Before populations declined across south Texas, as many as 7-8 coveys could be found on the ranch. This year has seen a significant increase in the resident quail population, with birds holding across the entire ranch. Whitetail deer, turkey, hogs, mourning and white-wing dove, coyotes and bobcats are all common on the property as well. Over the last few years, the trees along the creek have become a roosting area for as many as 30 resident turkey.   Improvements The house is 1,968 sf with 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths and sits on a nice one acre yard. The house wraps around a 900 sf atrium that houses numerous small trees and plants. It’s a great place to grill and enjoy a meal or listen to the rain fall on the  metal roof. The yard and house area also has a 20X60 carport, 25X60 metal workshop, 250 gallon elevated diesel tank and a dog pen. These improvements make it easy to have everything you need on hand to manage and maintain the ranch. Other improvements include an uncovered 18X60 concrete slab and a 20X80 quail pen. The fencing is standard barbed wire and in good condition on most of the property with a few areas that need some attention.   Land This ranch is a mix of rolling hills, south Texas brush and open pasture.  The front pasture sits on a high hill and provides beautiful views of the surrounding area and is a great place to see a sunrise or sunset.
