The southeast corner consists of an open field area that has been cultivated in the past and is ready for the plow. The balance of the property is heavily covered with live oak trees of all sizes, many of them huge, and cedar. This place would be a show place if the cedar was thinned out. No survey was furnished. The topography is made up of level fields and rolling tree covered areas with the balance being a very scenic mountain that forms the western boundary. This place cries out to be the gentlemans ranch that youve been looking for. It is loaded with all types of native and exotic wildlife, including Axis Deer, Aoudad Sheep, and feral hogs. If the field area was planted you could attract several varieties of game birds as well. If this sounds like something that youve been looking for, hurry. Please understand that the value associated with this property is in the land. The existing improvements could be renovated or removed for new construction. At a minimum the existing fireplace should be kept. It has a date etched in the stone of December, 1887. I am very familar with this place as my Great Grandfather was the original owner and the improvements were constructed during his ownership.
