The land is split between uplands with primarily large oaks and elm trees on sandy loam soils with a mix of both open pasture and heavy brush and trees. The land falls down to the river bottom which is a mix of large oaks, pecans, and elm trees in alluvial soils. Most of the river frontage is accessible and there are multiple large sand beaches, a unique feature to have extensive access points along the river. Property along the river is thickly wooded and excellent habitat for wildlife.

WILDLIFE

The ranch is set up as a fantastic hunting ranch. The entire ranch is high-fenced and has several different high-fenced pastures. Improved genetics have been introduced and the ranch carries tremendous trophy white-tailed deer and includes multiple exotics such as black buck, oryx, addax, buffalo, red lechwe, waterbucks and Pere Davids Deer.

A large wetland unit has been developed for excellent duck hunting and has a water well that pipes water to the unit for full control. Waterfowl hunting is excellent within the Brazos River valley and is a major flyway for ducks.

This area is also known for holding good dove numbers. Several fields are planted for doves on the ranch every year. Plenty of hogs and several blinds are kept outside the high fence area along the river for less controlled hunting opportunities.
