The property has approximately 3000' of Big Sandy Creek frontage, a 5 acre lake, 11 ponds, two seasonal creeks, and about 175 acres of cultivation. The terrain varies from level to rolling, with some elevation change. It is fenced and cross-fenced, with good roads for access. The ranch has frontage on both sides of Big Sandy Creek in one pasture. This separates approx. 437 acres from the main body of the ranch and this acreage is for sale separately, if desired. (See ID # 58001 on this website.)
The ranch has huge liveoaks, mesquite, hackberry, and cedar elms, but no cedar. Brush includes algerita and lopebrush (bluebrush). The soil is mostly sandy loam with good native grass. The ranch has not been overgrazed and grass is still plentiful.
Hunting is excellent on the ranch. A 170-B & C was taken near Big Sandy in 2004. There are deer, turkeys, hogs, dove and ducks. In addition, the terrain provides an excellent habitat for quail and the quail population has been very good for the last several years.
Located on this property is a historical pioneer cemetery, and the remains of a log dwelling thought to be built before 1860. Many arrowheads have been recovered from the ranch, especially near the banks of Big Sandy Creek.
This is a beautiful ranch, highly improved by a cattle family cognizant of conservation of both land and wildlife. For further information, please contact Sidney Carlisle, cell 254-978-0373.
