Water: The highlight of this property is .75 miles of Cherry Creek frontage including over 3,000 ft. of both sides. Cherry Creek is historically a year-round live creek during times of normal rainfall. There are several deeper holes of water, including one of the larger pools that is right below the houses. There might be potential locations where the creek could be dammed up to impound larger bodies of water, but a new buyer would have to work with a contractor to confirm. There is one water well which is approximately 650 ft. deep that services all the houses.

Wildlife: There is an abundance of wildlife which includes Whitetail Deer, Axis Deer, Rio Grande Turkeys, dove, hogs and much more.

Terrain/Vegetation: This property has a mixture of level terrain along the creek with great soils and gently rolling hills that offer long distance views in several locations. The 60 acres of tillable fields have historically produced hay and oats but could be used to grow other varieties. The southern part of the property along the entrance road has been selectively cleared of cedar allowing the hardwoods to be highlighted. The creek frontage and grounds near the houses are manicured like a park and have scattered towering Live Oak and century Pecan trees. The remainder of the creek is lined with huge native Pecans, Cedar Elms and Oaks. There are several areas that have been left native and provide good cover for wildlife.
