Waterfowl hunters dream only an hour and a half from Houston with excellent potential for income production from farming, ranching and hunting. The property sets on high ground just above the Lavaca River with rice and rye grass to bring in the birds, plus a 72 acre reservoir.
Wildlife: Along with the world class goose and duck hunting, the deer and hog population is terrific. Dove, quail and occasional turkey make for an all around hunting ranch.
Terrain: This ranch is primarily a rice farm and cattle ranch. Approx. 350 Acres are currently planted in rice and the property will convey 300 acres of rice base (approx. $27,000 per year in direct payments). 250 acres have recently been planted in jiggs and with the cattle off the pasture looks great with the recent rains.

Terrain: This ranch is primarily a rice farm and cattle ranch. Approx. 350 Acres are currently planted in rice and the property will convey 300 acres of rice base (approx. $27,000 per year in direct payments). 250 acres have recently been planted in jiggs and with the cattle off the pasture looks great with the recent rains. There is a large 72 acre reservoir with the remainder of the property in trees and brush, primarily live oaks and post oaks. Canal and ditch systems are in place for delivery of water throughout the property.
Water: Groundwater on this property is excellent. There are two irrigation wells on the property, although one is not working (they run on natural gas piped in underground). Water flow averages around 2,500 gpm on the working well. There are also 1,200 acre feet of pumping rights from the Lavaca River. The 72 acre reservoir was built to hold water for rice farming and makes the center piece for waterfowl hunting. Additional duck ponds could easily be built on the property.
Improvements: There is an older house previously used as a hunting cabin in the back of the property with electricity and septic system. Good road system and a set of cattle pens are also included. The perimeter is well fenced with several cross fences to product several pastures.
Minerals: Surface sale only.
This ranch is absolutely covered up with ducks and geese in the winter. With all of the rice currently on the place this coming season will be outstanding.
