The land, which features native Hill Country habitat ranging from live oaks, cedar and mesquite to endemic grasses and wildlife-sustaining browse plants, rolls gently. The elevation rises about 100 feet from the river bottom to the highest point.
The ever-present water attracts white-tailed deer, wild turkey, feral hogs as well as free-ranging exotics. Hunting has been limited to family and friends. The current owner rotates cattle through the ranch to manage the vegetation and maintain the agriculture tax valuation.
The 3 bedroom/2 bath house finished with stucco encompasses 1,850+/- square feet and overlooks the river valley. An open kitchen and dining area makes gathering easy. The living room is anchored by a fireplace. The metal roof was installed in 2020. A domestic well drilled to 125 feet supplies the house.
