Topography, Rangeland & Habitat
Cedar Creek Ranch is a mixture of open pastures and heavily wooded creek bottoms that meander across the property. The mixture of tree species is incredible, dominated by tremendous majestic live oaks and pecans that dot the landscape. Other old-growth trees on the ranch include water oaks, elms, hackberries and osage orange, just to name a few.
The pastures on the ranch are in improved grasses and much of the understory in the forest has been opened up to create a park-like look to much of the bottomlands. Other areas of the ranch have been left natural to provide shelter, cover and sanctuary for the wildlife.
Wildlife
Creek Bend Ranch is set up well for multiple hunting opportunities. The white-tailed deer are abundant and are frequently seen browsing in the creek bottoms on the property. There are three tower blinds along with two fenced-in food plot areas which have historically been planted with varying crops to attract wildlife.
Doves are very prevalent in this area and of course, plenty of hogs can be found traveling along the creek.
Agriculture
The ranch is currently under 1D1 Ag and running cattle. There are multiple fenced pastures to facilitate a rotational grazing program.
Water
A major feature of the property is Cedar Creek which runs for just over a mile through the property such that the ranch enjoys both sides of the creek for around seven-tenths of a mile. The creek is a wet weather creek but is deep with a sandy bottom and huge trees lining its banks.
There are two picturesque ponds on the property that hold water well and provide great fishing opportunities.
