Wildlife:

There is no shortage of hunting available for any outdoor enthusiasts to pursue, including Whitetail deer, Mule Deer, Quail, Rio Grande Turkey, Dove, Ducks, Elk, Aoudad and Feral Hogs!

The ranch has not been leased out for hunting in over a decade and has some impressive hunting potential for a management minded hunting operator to harvest trophy quality animals due to the size of the property and the neighboring ranches around this West River Ranch.

Water:

The property will have access to a King Cottle water meter! There are  2 surface tanks on the property (more are currently under construction)! The property has a fresh water creek one the north side called Hackberry creek that flows water year round and also has almost 7 miles of the South Wichita river on the ranch. There are two springs that flow into the river but are gypy & brine water.

Drilling a water well may not be an option that is money well spent as the wells that have been drilled have either yielded low volumes of production or water that was not suitable for human consumption.

Pastures:

The native pastures include Big hackberry trees, Wolfberry, ephedra, lote bush, soap berry motes, sand sage, tasajillo, Flame leaf Sumac, large mesquite trees scattered around the ranch with several pockets of Plum thickets.

Improvements:

Several of The roads around the ranch are all weather roads!

~The seller has two 5000 gallon water storage tanks that are situated around the ranch for wildlife and livestock watering stations. These allow adequate pasture rotations and fresh water can be hauled in by a local trucking company for a minor cost when needed. (These tanks are currently empty for the winter months)

The corps of engineers has portion of the south wichita river that they dam up and pump off the brine water to a location outside of Truscott Texas known as the Brine Lake. They have a pipeline and access easement through the central part of the east side of the ranch to access their pumping station and to monitor the flow of the brine water. The corps of engineers have been doing this to help lower the salinity content of the river.

Production:

The ranch has oil/gas wells that are mainly on the northwest side of the property. These wells are operated by New Height Energy LLC & PPC Operating Company, LLC, there is a lay down yard and multiple pumping station  but there are three main stations along the County RD where crude is collected.

The oil production on the property has declined substantially over the last decade and several wells have been plugged or are on a list to be plugged. Overall the oilfield is well kept and the pumpers are mindful about monitoring the locations and pumps to ensure the landowners are happy with their aperanace and presence on the ranch.

Minerals:

The surface minerals will convey with an acceptable offer!

The sellers are offering no oil/gas minerals or royalties with the sale of the property.
