There is a mix of huge live oaks, cedar elms, hackberry and mesquite trees, plus brush including algerita and lopebrush (bluebrush).

There is no cedar (ashe juniper) on this property.
Located on this ranch is a historical pioneer cemetery, including the grave of George Hazlewood, thought to be the last pioneer killed by Indians in Stephens County on March 1, 1868. Several newspaper articles have been written about this event, giving accounts of the raid. Old logs and stones are all that remain of the Hazlewood homeplace.
There are many prime locations to hunt for arrowheads on this ranch.
Hunting includes deer, turkeys, hogs, quail, ducks and doves. There are several draws, plus Big Sandy Creek runs across the neighbor's property to the east and winds around on the north side of this ranch, creating a good environment for wildlife.
This is a great all-around property with good pasture for cattle, plus endless recreational opportunities for a weekend place or a permanent home. It would be easy to select a spot for a homesite, and a water meter has been previously paid for by the owner.
