Water Summary

City water services the manufactured home and improvements, providing a reliable domestic water source. The combination of surface water and city water enhances both livestock and wildlife use of the property.

Vegetation and Terrain

The property features gently rolling terrain with sandy soils, providing good drainage and ease of travel throughout. A healthy mix of native grasses and brush supports both livestock and wildlife, while scattered hardwoods and mature post oak and live oak trees offer shade, cover, and aesthetic appeal. The 50-acre fenced pasture consists primarily of regrowth mesquite and woody browse, creating excellent habitat for game and browse-dependent wildlife species such as whitetail deer, feral hogs and javelinas.

Wildlife on the Property

Migratory birds, such as mourning doves and various songbirds, are commonly observed, while the property’s stock tanks provide habitat for seasonal waterfowl.
