Much of the landscape in the western portion of the ranch is defined by live water Coal Creek. Mature live oak trees and granite bluffs line the creek, creating a stunning backdrop. Thoughtful brush management has been completed to open up the creek banks and showcase the mature hardwoods.

The southern region of the property is characterized by sandy loam soils and vibrant live oak groves, interspersed with seasonal wet weather creeks and stock tanks, creating a serene environment that supports wildlife and a variety of outdoor activities.

Similar to the scenic landscapes along the Willow City Loop, Coal Creek Ranch is rich with fertile creek bottoms, rolling hills, and striking granite outcrops. One distinguishing feature however, is its unique serpentine green granite, known for its distinctive green-red hues.

Water

There is an impressive array of surface and subsurface water features on the ranch, with the crown jewel being 3,430 feet of ownership on both sides of Coal Creek. A large dam on the creek creates a stunning 2.5-3 acre lake stocked with largemouth bass. The creek-fed lake is deep enough to sustain a healthy fish population and keep the water cool, making it perfect for recreational activities during the warmer months.

The property is also equipped with three water wells, producing approximately 8, 30, and 100 gallons per minute, ensuring the ranch is well-prepared to handle any drought conditions. Additionally, there are three surface tanks, one of which is supplemented by a well, providing ample water for wildlife and livestock.

Thoughtfully placed fire pits offer ideal spots for relaxation, including one near the picturesque cliffs of Coal Creek and another on a hilltop, perfect for enjoying panoramic sunset views.
