This is one of the most impressive water features that I have ever seen on a ranch, especially with its consistent level and flow throughout this drought.  Several strong hidden springs originate on the property providing flow for 3± miles.  The upper end is natural flowing, very shallow clear water over limestone beds and small falls, while the southern portion flows for 5,003± feet (nearly a mile,) through a series of 12 dammed lakes crafted with beautiful rockwork, walls and bridges.  Truly spectacular in their construction, these lakes are easily accessible, and have some significant deep holes in areas. Maintaining a constant water level, waterfalls flow from one lake to the next, flanked by towering Cypress trees along the banks and creating a most pleasant ambient cascade of water.  Additionally, Bushwack Creek and other multiple hidden springs provide more live water features, with potential for future expansion. There are 9 water wells on the property, eight of which are located on the north end; seven of these are electric, one is solar and one is windmill powered. The main three homes along the creek are watered by spring water through the spring box.

The southern 1,250± acres lie primarily in the creek bottom along the developed water features.  This spring-fed creek traverses through steep rugged terrain with elevation ranging from 1,800± feet ASL to 2,192± feet ASL.  The area appears to have only been cleared near the Creek, leaving the rugged hills full of native habitat.  Large Cypress trees are found along the banks of the Creek, while Grand Pecan and Live Oak trees surround the homes. The northern 2,000± acres is gently rolling terrain with large Post Oak, Live Oak, and Cedar Elm trees dotted throughout.  The majority of this north end has been selectively cleared of invasive Cedar, offering wide open, pristine views of rolling land and an impressive stand of flourishing native grasses. Bushwack Creek bottom area boasts large Oaks, Pecan, Cedar Elm. On the hilltops, elevations reach 2,200±, creating a 2,000 feet elevation across the rolling terrain.

This ranch has an abundance of wildlife with its large size, water, habitat and dedicated management practices. The north end is game fences and has been managed for 20 years for whitetail deer.  As a result, the ranch has a strong native Hill Country deer herd and a high carrying capacity.  Turkey roost along the creeks and light into the selected cleared areas.   Occasionally exotics can be found such as Aoudad, Fallow Deer, and Axis Deer on the south end.  The water features provide excellent bass fishing due to their constant level and depth. Seasonal ducks are attracted to these large bodies of water.  Rare for this area of the state, the resident otter is fascinating and not often seen on other properties.  The ranch is MLDP and has only been hunted by family and friends since their ownership began.
