Land & Water
The property combines closed canopy forest, Post Oak savannah, and open pastures. The wet weather creek traverses the property in a general west-to-east direction with several other drainages feeding into it. This riparian area makes a great travel corridor for wildlife.
From the entrance on the north, the topography slopes down to the creek, then back up to the south end of the property.
There is approximately 40’ of elevation change. There is one stocked pond on the south side of the property which has not gone dry in the seller’s ownership. This pond can be supplemented by the water well. Another smaller pond near the gate serves as a wildlife water source. There is a small portion of the property within the 100-year floodplain.

Common wildlife in the area included Whitetail Deer, turkeys, feral hogs, migratory waterfowl, and songbirds. The owner has also seen Axis deer in the past. Trees observed on the property include copious Post Oaks, Blackjack Oaks, Cedar Elms, American Elm, Pecan, Hackberry, Sweet Gum, Black Willow, Osage Orange, Eastern Red Cedar, and Mesquite. The shrub and forb layer is comprised of Winged Elm, Yaupon, Lime Prickly Ash, Flame Leaf Sumac, Texas Persimmon, Prickly Pear, Tasajillo, American Beautyberry, Wooly Croton, Texas Croton, Broomweed, Dewberry vine, Mustang Grapes, Frost Weed, Green Briar, and Sunflowers. The grass layer is comprised of Little Bluestem, Coastal Bermuda, King Ranch Bluestem, Texas Wintergrass, Oldfield Three Awn, and Klein Grass. Soil types include fine sand, sandy loam, and clay loam.

The property has approximately 1200’ of frontage on Coastal Ln, a dead-end gravel county road with only three gates past the property. This, along with the dense tree cover, gives the property a secluded feel while being only 2/3rd of a mile from Hwy 183. The dense tree cover provides a good sound barrier from the highway muting out most of the road noise.

Improvements & Utilities
An all-weather gravel road runs north to south with a bypass loop to the east. There are multiple electric meters, including 440V service on the south end, per the owner. The water well is strong and recently had a new wire run in conduit from the breaker to the pump. The property is perimeter fenced with barbed wire in fair condition and holds livestock. Two pipelines run parallel to the main road. There is a single wide trailer and other rolling stock that is to be removed by the seller.

Taxes
The property is qualified for Agricultural Valuation via a grazing lease that can be terminated with notice. 2022 taxes on the property were approximately $235.00
