Topography, Rangeland & Habitat

Creek Bend 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.

Water

There are two picturesque ponds on the property that hold water well and provide great fishing opportunities.

Two wetland units have been built by the waterfowl-loving owner that can be filled during the winter by water wells and then dried out in the summer to grow forage to attract ducks during the season.

There are two water wells in use on the property and groundwater here is abundant. Other wells on the property produce high volumes of water to allow for multiple uses if desired.

Electricity

Minerals

The seller does not own any of the mineral estate. There are two producing sites on the property that make for minimal impact and add a nice caliche road and large water wells utilized for the wetland units.
