Mclean, TX 79057(Gray County)

The topography consists mainly of rolling and undulating native grassland and tree-lined draws. Soils consist of mostly sandy and loamy fine sand soils with a cover of native grasses, shinnery and sage. Several areas of the property transition to tighter soils offering a good turf of palatable grasses such as gramma and buffalo. There are at least 2 areas of the ranch that were previously cultivated consisting of approximately 75 acres, that can be utilized for livestock wheat pasture, or wildlife food plots.

Because of terrain issues, the fence line along the North boundary of the ranch angles slightly to the Southwest, and touches the highway just South of the McClellan Creek bottom. From an ownership standpoint, the sellers believe their true boundary line goes into the McClellan Creek bottom and actually crosses the creek for a short distance. Because it would be nearly impossible to maintain livestock fencing in the creek bottom, this small area of the ranch is fenced out of the property.
