Incredibly diverse, the ranch features great variation of habitats and terrains; from lush bottomlands and spacious grassy meadows dotted with large Oaks, to more typical Hill Country terrain comprised of rock and Cedar. The ranch is well watered and features 5 water wells (one being a 175 GPM well) with water lines run through the ranch. There are also two nice stock tanks located on the west and north-west sides of the ranch. Property is fenced and cross fenced into several pastures; in addition to light cattle grazing, there is a small herd of Addax and Blackbuck that reside in one of the pastures. Cave Mountain is located on the property, rising 1540' ASL, providing an outstanding viewpoint over the surrounding countryside. There is also the remnants of an old homestead from the late 1800's that offers up an interesting historical factor.
The pinnacle feature of the ranch is the 2200'+/- of BOTH sides of strong flowing Grape Creek and provides year-round recreational opportunities; fish, kayak, swim or simply relax under the pavilion or in the shade of one of the several large Pecans lining the banks. White Oak Creek also traverses the property for approx. 2000'+/-.
Hunting is excellent with blinds and feeders in place and ready for the fall hunting season. The Sandy Area is known for its larger Hill Country whitetails (Deer in the mid 150" range have been take per the current owner) along with good populations of wild turkey. In addition to the Addax and Blackbuck, some other free roaming exotics are also present, namely Aoudad and the occasional Axis deer.
