Water: The incredibly well watered ranch is highlighted by one of, if not the largest private lakes in central Texas, 88 Acre lake (full pool). The lake was permitted with the Corp of Engineers when built, and still had abundant water during the historic 2011 drought. A floating pump is used to water the lawn and landscaping areas around the lodge and water is piped to numerous troughs throughout the ranch. There are 5 stock tanks, a water well and a 5 acre lake. Crystal Clear Water, a rural provider) provides water to the ranch and is piped to several areas of the ranch.

Additional Lake information: One of the largest privately owned lakes in Texas, it currently covers a surface area of 88 acres with the deepest area being 47 feet and an average depth of approximately 12 feet. The lake was built with approval and appropriate permitting from the Corp of Engineers and State Agencies. All necessary permits were granted prior to the construction of the lake, and it approx.. 5 times the amount of impounded water that would be currently allowable (based on the general current state regulation of 200 AC/Ft maximum)/ Million cubic yards of idrt were moved and 500 cubic yards of concrete poured in construction, which would result in an extremely costly undertaking today. The lake is fed by Long Branch Creek and the lakes approximate drainage area is well over 1,000 Acres.

Vegetation-Terrain: Quickly evident on Broken Oak is the excellent quality of soils that make the ranch versatile both from an agricultural and recreational standpoint. It is suited incredibly well for improved pastures and growing supplemental hay and is equally ideal for food plots or horseback riding, as soils are deep and there is very little rock. Outstanding tree cover is comprised primarily of various hardwoods including Post Oak, Live Oak, Blackjack Oak, Elm, Mesquite and Hackberry and there is abundant cover for many types of wildlife. There are some improved areas with excellent grasses including Coastal Bermuda and Klein in which scattered trees were left, the result being gorgeous and productive, as well as a large percentage of the ranch that is full of hardwood cover.

Elevations vary from 485-590 feet providing many potential build sites and resulting in a desirable roll to the terrain. Flood plain is minimal other than the lakes itself, and the creek above and below the lake.

Wildlife-Recreation: One of the most intriguing aspects of this property is the seemingly endless potential with regard to outdoor recreation. Rarely is the possibility of watersports, including waterskiing, jet-skiing, wakeboarding, kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding a potential use for a ranch, but it is at Broken Oak. The property would make an outstanding horse ranch as well as exceptional hunting and fishing ranch. Whitetail Deer, Turkey, Dove, Ducks, Hogs abound as well as a Florida strain of Largemouth Bass (reportedly caught up to a 16 lb. Bass) catfish, perch, etc. abound and provide top notch opportunities for the outdoor enthusiast and also make the ranch well suited for corporate retreats, rentals and more.

Additional Potential Uses: With its proximity and impressive features, this ranch offers a rare opportunity for income generation potential, including but not limited to a wedding venue, music venue, retreat center, hunting/fishing destination, high-end hunting/fishing club, rentals, youth camp and campgrounds. It would also make an excellent high-end, large tract development with potential for many lake-front lots.
