This property is located in one of the few small fishing communities left that has not been overwhelmed with the influx of development that is sure to come. The property was developed as a commercial shrimp farm. Approximately 85% of the tract is a series of 5-10 acre ponds. There are some 60,10-acre ponds and 96, 5-acre ponds. The ponds are surrounded by a road system that is elevated on top of the levees/berms that create the ponds. There is an extensive underground piping system that fills the individual ponds from the Arroyo Colorado River. Each pond has a concrete drain box for selectively emptying the ponds to harvest the shrimp. There are a series of parallel ditches that extend north/south through the property along its boundaries that are utilized for water delivery and drainage. The water is discharged in a seperate canal and is filtered before returning to the Colorado River. The remaining 15% of the property, approximately 363 acres, consists of native grasses and pasture land that is utilized for cattle grazing.

Improvements:

Other than the extensive pond system there is a large pumping station at the North end of the property that at one time was set up with 6 massive pumps to pull water from the Arroyo Colorado and distribute to the ponds. Most of the power units have been removed and some repairs would be needed to make the sytems operational again. There is also a smaller shed with 2 more pumps. There are 2 metal warehouses on the property, an 8,000 sqare foot building on northeast corner and a 5,000 square foot building on the south portion of the tract. This farm has so much potential whether being utilized as a shrimp farm, great location for a wind generated operation, amazing waterfowl sanctuary, or even development of an area that is known for great fishing.
