SOILS/TOPOGRAPHY: The ranch is comprised of 7 soils, ranging from clay to clay loam to gravelly clay. This is reflective of the topography, which is magnificent. Elevation changes some 123 feet on this ranch, from 802 ft. MSL near the road to 925 ft. at the high point. Views of the Seco Valley and the surrounding area are stunning.

VEGETATION: Dictated by soils, topography, and God, the ranch has incredible diversity it its vegetation, particularly the brush. All prime browse species are found on this ranch in a good mix distributed across the ranch. To improve access, lower browse growing tips, and increase forbs, the owner has spent years selectively clearing the better soils and parts of the ranch simply inaccessible due to brush density. Today, the combination of roads, senderros, and fields totals about 20% of the ranch. The remainder varies from lightly brushy to so thick you cannot walk in it upright, if at all. The owners have said it is not uncommon to see a distinct buck only once in its lifetime and of course many are never seen.

WATER: As water dictates wildlife distribution and fulfillment, the owner has over time installed a 2-inch PVC water system which effectively provides water to the entire 544 acre tract and 6 earthen water sources for wildlife. Unfortunately, the system is currently based on a well on the parent tract. However, the Seller has two West Medina rural water meters and recently extended one meter to the subject property and attached it to the 2 inch line. The Seller will convey one meter and grant a 10-foot utility easement to the new owner. The Edwards aquifer is reputed to be at 1,800 feet at this location.

IMPROVEMENTS: As mentioned, the money invested in improvements has for the most part emphasized wildlife. The 544 has good to very good high fencing on the east, west, and south, with the original net wire high-fence on the north. Currently, that fence which lies between the two main parcels is somewhat overgrown, but it could be reclaimed. It is opened at three gates which, when closed, would give the new owner a separately enclosed ranch.

WILDLIFE: With the extraordinary diversity and superior browse on this ranch, those who want to produce massive Whitetail deer naturally can do so with numbers management. This is the reasoning behind the extensive senderro system as it allows hunters to selectively remove deer that would otherwise remain unseen. The entire ranch is currently under a Level 3 MLDP and has been for 8 years. Records are available. The owner uses bow hunters for most of the season to keep it quiet on the ranch, switching to guns for clean-up. Outside genetics have been released onto the ranch. The ranch has a good spread of blinds and feeders with 4 elevated blinds, 4 spin-cast feeders and 4 free-flow protein feeders. Deer quality is remarkable.

Dove and quail can be plentiful, but the ranch has not been actively managed for bird hunting. Conversion of open areas to suitable bird food plants would greatly enhance bird hunting. Assuming a new well, some of the fields have irrigation capability, using a roll gun, and could be managed for small grains or sunflower. Turkey roam the ranch and can be easily hunted in the bottoms. Feral hogs, hunted whenever found, do not seem to be that numerous and sign is nominal.

MINERALS: Seller believe he owns 50% of 100% of the minerals under this tract and is willing to convey all owned minerals at an agreeable sales price.
