Land
Rocky Creek Oasis is a beautiful unrestricted live water tract with abundant Live Oaks and other native varieties found throughout the property. The topography is gently rolling with elevations ranging from 1320 to 1360, in consideration of this range of elevation, the ranchette lives much larger than it seems with approximately 9 acres boasting well crafted improvements on the east side of the creek and 6+/- wooded acres with a natural spring on the opposing side of the creek. The soils on the property are loamy with numerous natural openings that provide an opportunity to create food plots for wildlife. White-tailed deer, Rio Grande turkey, grey fox and other native wildlife are abundant. The property is perimeter low-fenced and in good condition.
Wildlife
In the process of clearing, the owners have maintained enough habitat to keep a healthy population of whitetail deer, dove and Rio Grande turkey. Songbirds abound throughout the oaks and butterflies flock to the naturalist landscaping around the main house. The entire acreage is currently under a wildlife exemption.
