Gatesville, TX 76557(Coryell County)

The average annual rainfall is 32 inches. This extremely diverse contiguous property is truly one of a kind. The property contains a great diversity of plant and animal life in an unusually broad range of habitats. It has it all...from many rock outcroppings, springs, seeps and incredible views. It is rectangular in shape and has 650 +/- feet of paved frontage on CR 341 near the SE corner. It has a Conservation Easement on approximately 690+/- acres which consists of the entire length of Fall Off Creek 4,000 rsquo +/- . This easement is held by the Texas Land Conservancy and allows many recreational activities including hunting and fishing. There are approximately 282 acres outside the easement where the house is. The highlight of the ranch would have to be the incredible waterfall and pool on intermittent Fall Off Creek. The seller states that in periods of normal rainfall this creek will contain a significant amount of water for 9-10 months out of the year. The topography of this section covers it all from tree lined creek bottoms to adjacent uplands with grand vistas. This drainage has an immense amount of character and diversity from grassy fields with great soil to small caves, limestone bluffs, and rock outcroppings. There is a good road system accessing just about anywhere you need to go. The property is mostly native pasture and brush with a variety of large trees and small to large clearings with most of the cedar having been removed.

Water:

There are many seeps and springs and some of them are still running even now Mar. 2013 . The Fall Off Creek is the focal point of the ranch named for a section of the creek that falls off giant limestone edge and drops into this incredible waterhole. It is a true one of a kind feature that oozes character. There is rural water service to the ranch house.

Improvements:

There is also an old farm house built in the 1950 rsquo s that is about 980sf+/-. It is habitable but needs some updating...the current owner has recently put about $20k into it. It is nestled under some granddaddy oak trees and has quick access to CR 341. Most of the fencing on the property is in good shape.

Wildlife/Hunting:

The ranch has a good population of whitetail deer and has been very lightly hunted over the last four years. It also has a population of feral hogs and Rio Grande Turkey. The ranch has a nice fishing tank. The quail and dove hunting can be good as well.

Minerals:

Seller may own a percentage on a portion of the ranch but needs to be confirmed. Negotiable.

Property Summary:

A ranch of this size with these features is extremely difficult to find in Central Texas and rarely do they become available for purchase. This is an extremely well rounded turn key combination ag/recreation ranch that will provide your family and friends enjoyment. It is oozing with character that is very difficult to find anywhere much less in the Central Texas area. It comes ready for you to walk into and start enjoying with minimal effort.
