6129 CR RD 4249 , Millersview, TX 76862(Concho County)

There are four earthen stock tanks that provide water to both stock and wildlife located on the property. There is a soil conservation lake on the property that is approximately 5 acres in size that could possibly be managed as a waterfowl hotspot during wet years. There are two concrete holding tanks on the east and west sides of the property that can be filled by a rural water line. From these tanks water can be gravity fed across the ranch to troughs to provide water for both stock and wildlife. You could also create guzzlers for quail at these locations pretty easily. There is another 1000 gallon holding tank that is filled by rainwater that supplies a trough on the west side of the ranch.

Wildlife:

The abundance of wildlife on the Mehaffey Ranch makes this property a sportsmans dream. The property owner has managed the Whitetail deer population since the time of purchase of the ranch. There has been a supplemental feeding program in the past to provide year round nutrition. Food plots have also been cleared to provide supplemental feed and attractive nutrition during the hunting season. There are several hunting stand locations throughout the ranch and at each location there is feeder and blind, so if you are looking for a turnkey whitetail hunting ranch, look no further. The location of the ranch also provides the occasional opportunity for some exotic species as well. Trophy class Blackbuck antelope have been seen and photographed on the ranch. Although the ranch has been managed for Whitetail deer the Rio Grand turkey hunting is phenomenal. The ranch will also provide hunting opportunities for quail, dove, and waterfowl.

Land:

The Mehaffey ranch is higher in elevation on both the East and West sides of the ranch; this provides a spectacular view from the ranch house allowing you to look over the entire property. There is great diversity of browse on the ranch, from Lime Prickly Ash, Catclaw Mimosa, Agarita, Ephedra, Mesquite and many more. Live Oak mottes around the earthen stock tanks provide shade and mast for the wildlife and the stock. The grass on the ranch is also very strong which will allow for the grazing of cattle. The soil disturbance caused from the cattle grazing also stimulates the forb production which is the main food source for most all wildlife during the spring and summer months. You could run your own stock or lease the grazing to help manage habitat and supplement the ranch income.

Improvements:

The ranch headquarters has an approximately 2,100 sq./ft. lodge under a total of about 6,000 sq./ft. of covered area that provides a large back porch that has amazing views of the Brady Mountains and the vast valley floor stretching toward O.H. Ivie Reservoir. The large covered area also provides plenty of covered parking in front of the lodge. The lodge is a 4 bedroom, 2 bath home with a large kitchen and living area. There are 2 HVAC units and 2 hot water heaters for each end of the lodge. Water to the lodge is supplied by a 15,000 gallon water collection system. The system has triple filtration and UV Max light. There is a 20/20 equipment barn as well. The county road frontage on the west side of the property has recently been high-fenced to protect the wildlife. The roads throughout the ranch are well maintained and provide good access throughout the ranch. The property has county road access on both the east and west sides, electric and water at both east and west sides as well.
