There are 8 water troughs on the property with 2 of them being from a shared well with the neighbor that is on his property. There is one large 1.8-acre pond that is currently filling and will be stocked with largemouth bass, bluegill, redear sunfish, hybrid crappie, and channel cat this fall. Last year a small tank (50 in diameter) was built for dove and one of the troughs is set to overflow into a small man-made tank for dove as well.
Homes/Structures
In the Northwest Corner of the main pasture sits a 4000sqft lodge that has 5 bedrooms, 5 full baths and 2 half baths and a huge industrial kitchen, plus a very large mudroom and outdoor fire pit. About 100 yards away is a 2000sqft 3 bedroom and 2 bath house. A 25x30 skinning shed outfitted with an 8x10 walk-in cooler and skinning rack is set just off the main road to the lodge, and a large 40x40 barn is set back by the house and connected to it is a three-sided dirt floor shed that has been used to keep horses and store UTVs. Between the house and lodge is a series of old rustic barns that were previously used for storage. One of the barns has been used for weddings in the past. In between these barns are pen that have been used to raise sheep and keep horses.
Hunting/Wildlife
The ranch has been ran as Breckland Ranch for the last 5 years and has been home to many different species of exotics over the years. Some of the exotic species will be removed prior to new ownership. The species that will stay include blackbuck antelope, axis deer, red sheep, hybrid ibex, and a few aoudad. There are 3 separate galvanized high fenced pastures with a 22 acre soft release pen in the middle pasture on the south fence line providing access to the middle and south pastures. This 22 acre pen was built to the rules and regs of a DMP pen, but it was never approved. All that would be needed is an inspection for it to be used. All of the exotic species reside in the north pasture, with the exception of the axis in the middle pasture. 10 bred does and 10 trophy bucks were released in the North pasture in 2018. The middle pasture has lots of native whitetail and axis deer, plus 10 bred does were released in 2019 as well. Not much commercial hunting has happened in the middle pasture as it was usually used for family and friends. The south pasture had 30 bred does and 12 trophy bucks released in 2016. 180-220 are seen regularly and there are many good young deer. The ranch has been trapped for the last several years and a very large dent has been put in the racoon and skunk populations. The quail populations in this area are not great but there is good dove and turkey hunting, and the large pond has been bringing in many species of duck.
