2605 W. FM 624 , Orange Grove, TX 78373(Jim Wells County)

The south end of the ranch is 485 acres of farmland which is leased to reputable longtime local farmers. Last years rent payment to the owner was in excess of $50,000. The middle of the ranch is grass and some brush where the owner conservatively runs around 65 cows. The middle to northern portion of the ranch is pure old west romance. There is a mixture of cleared areas and typical South Texas native brush, thick undisturbed habitat broken by senderos and deep impenetrable creek bottoms complete with a few oak motts. For the hunter there is nothing to do here but bring your gun. However, the lucky buyer will see no blinds or deer feeders as this ranch has never been hunted outside of doves, the hunting of which is fantastic.

Wildlife is abundant, Deer, Hogs, Turkey, Dove and Quail.

Improvements are of good quality and function. A modern metal shop with a concrete floor contains a small efficiency apartment, along with several large older barns for hay or equipment storage. There is a covered pavilion for entertaining. Cattle working pens and cross fencing through out the ranch are in good condition. Another nice feature is a paved drive to the HQ.

Soil character ranges from sandy loam farmland to rolling caliche hills and deep creek bottom mixed type soils. Ground water is readily available and currently there is a deep (660') electric submersible and a shallow windmill well. A major draw drains through the ranch and is dammed to create seven tanks, holding water for the cattle and wildlife.

It appears that there maybe no piplines or easements effecting the ranch. (subject to confirmation by title policy and survey) There are no oilfield locations or leases. The property is for sale as surface estate only.

The sale includes a long list of the owners equipment, for example a New Holland 5610 tractor, barn kept w/1000 hrs hooked to a Bush Hog 2615 batwing mower and a New Holland TC 40 4x4 tractor w/loader. 500 hrs and barn kept. Over 300 round bales are included also.

Overall this ranch is the most well rounded offering on the market in the area. When you consider what the property offers in terms of scenery, brush, wildlife, grazing capacity, farm income, improvements, location, and future development possibilities it is hard to believe that it is also the most realistically priced ranch on the market at a very reasonable $2,600,000.00.
