Persimmon loaded creek bottom.

Terrain: The custom home sits on the edge of a mesquite flat that rolls down into the creek bottom. Dogwood Creek is lined with a variety of trees. Large water elms (American Elm) provide shade in the summer and nutrition to whitetail deer in the fall. Scattered chittum (Gum Bumelia,) offers nutrition to a variety of wildlife species. For delicious jellies and jams, there is a wild orchard of persimmon trees waiting to be harvested creek side. Ripe persimmon is also a delicacy of whitetail and other species of wildlife. There are motts of western soapberry trees found in the sandier soil of the riparian areas. The range provides good native grasses for livestock or horses, and a good variety of forbs that are beneficial to both livestock and wildlife.

Wildlife and Water:Whether you are a hunter, photographer or just enjoy observing wildlife, Dogwood Creek Ranch provides many opportunities for the outdoor enthusiast. The ranch is home to whitetail deer that can be seen on any part of the property, but prefer the security and forage capability the creek bottom provides. You can sit on the patio, sipping coffee on a crisp spring morning, listening to the thundering gobble of the Rio Grande Turkey during the mating season. The 'bob-bob-white' whistle of the male bobwhite quail is also frequently heard around the home in the spring and summer. The ranch is home to native morning dove as well as being in the flyway of seasonal migration. Feral hogs also pass through the ranch on occasion. Dogwood Creek is a seasonal creek that flows during rainy periods. There are pools along the creek that hold water for longer periods. There is also a pond that is nestled among several very large elm trees. An additional pond lies on the south fence line and is shared with the neighboring property.
