The gently rolling topography of Cannon Ranch is divided into three low-fenced interior zones. 650 acres include the entrance to the ranch, the lodge, and other improvements. This area is primarily pasture with scenic groves of trees and brush. The 250 western pasture has similar flora on a slightly higher elevation. The southern zone is 2,467 acres and ranges from clusters of trees and dense high protein brush species, amidst well planned senderos that are perfect for hunting, to untouched native growth of dense trees and brush along the southern edge. Wet weather Salado creek stretches the length of this zone. The entirety of the ranch is easily accessible via well placed roads and trails. There is a caliche pit for road maintenance.
The ranch is well-watered with three large ponds, one of which is over three acres and several water troughs. The ranch has one large well, a shared well, a domestic well for the lodge and improvements, and three windmills.
The high protein native South Texas flora of the ranch supports abundant Whitetail, quail, dove, and migrating waterfowl in the pastures and at the ponds. Several blinds and feeders are strategically placed across the ranch. A MLDP whitetail deer management program has been in place for several years. The Cannon Ranch is an outstanding South Texas deer and quail hunting ranch.
The Cannon Ranch is a great South Texas cattle operation with working cattle pens and large grassy pastures for grazing. Additionally, the multitude of troughs and ponds provide excellent water resources throughout the property. The ranch currently supports 100 breeding pairs of cattle.
