Topography, Rangeland & Habitat

The ranch showcases diverse habitats, including bottomland areas along the Brazos River and Lewisville Creek, with majestic oak, pecan, elm, cottonwood, and sycamore trees. These bottomlands feature rich alluvial soils supporting mixed pastures and denser brush, creating an ideal environment for an array of wildlife such as white-tailed deer, hogs, dove, duck, and local predators.

The higher pastures have magnificent views and are dominated by oak trees and sandy soils, providing improved pastures suitable for running cattle or great soils for horse pastures and hay production.

Well-maintained roads traverse the property, including a picturesque waterfall creek low water crossing over Lewisville Creek, reminiscent of hill country landscapes. Water is a prominent highlight of Deer Run Ranch, with approximately 1.1 miles of Brazos River frontage, several well-stocked ponds.  These water sources not only provide scenic beauty but also offer excellent waterfowl hunting during duck season and enjoyable fishing opportunities year-round.
