WATER.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              CREEK FRONTAGE.   2828 Ranch boasts a wet-weather creek that runs along the property’s edge. During a rainy wet-weather season, the creek has the opportunity to fill and run creating a soothing soundtrack of flowing water, an excellent secondary cool-off in the summer, and a haven for free-roaming wildlife.

LAKE SITE POTENTIAL.  Development ideas? With a few evaluations to conduct before doing so, you might find a perfect location on the ranch to construct a lake for a year-round water feature to highlight and maximize the potential of the land.

WATER WELL.   There is one water well on the ranch tapped in at 550+/- feet, with a new large pressure tank and producing good quality water.

WILDLIFE.  Low fencing allows the native wildlife to roam freely without the constraint of a tall barrier. From whitetail deer, hog and turkey to dove quail and a vast array of songbirds, this ranch is welcoming to a diversity of species who participate in their natural behaviors and benefit off the land as they forage freely. A 30,000+/- square foot area of the ranch is currently dedicated for an animal nursery. The area is bordered with a high-fence perimeter and complete with water supply, shade and a storage building that suits perfectly for a feed and tack room. This area of the ranch would also make an exceptional location to build an equipment barn or workshop.

VEGETATION.  In maintaining the health and aesthetics of the vegetation, dead trees and scrub cedar has been cleared. The land takes in a scene of large Live Oaks, Southern Walnut, Pecan and Sycamore. Proper maintenance and preservation efforts were made to benefit the health and aesthetics of the vegetation.

SOILS.  The majority of the ranch is underlain with Pratley Clay soils. This soil is known to have exceptional properties that make it highly beneficial for water retention capabilities, like building a fishing pond, lake, earthen structure, or taking on a big landscaping project due to the optimal moisture levels that allow plant growth to thrive. Kerrville Gravelly Clay Loam underlies the topsoils on a portion of the ranch also providing nutrients that support healthy vegetation development.

POWER.  Power is on the property. Solar powered lighting accents and illuminates the entry gate to the improvements.

IMPROVEMENTS.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    GATED ENTRANCES.  Two electric gated entrances not only function as privacy barriers but also welcoming entries to different facets of the ranch. Inset from the paved farm-to-market road is a gate that opens to the driveway and forestry of the ranch. Leading up to the improvements you are greeted by another electric gated entrance that opens to the area where the improvements are located.

You have direct access to the home through the garage. The extra space is great for storing tools, bicycles, pool toys or those bulky boxes of holiday decor. All-in-all, the attached garage/storage simply makes life a tad bit smoother, convenient and more relaxed.

COVERED PORCH. Raining outside and feel like stepping out on the porch to enjoy the sounds and scents that it brings with it…the covered porch is a perfect place for that.
