Fencing: The ranch is designed with functionality in mind. It is fenced into 13 separate pastures, all connecting to a central lane that leads to the working pens. Fences were renovated in the last five years and are continuously updated as necessary with barbed wire, pipe corners and pull posts with line T-posts. The lane also serves as an easily navigable roadway throughout the ranch.

The front 36' of the barn has a concrete slab with roll-up doors, sectioned into 3 storage areas for hay, feed, tack and equipment as well as wash racks with drainage. There are fourteen 12'x24' covered stalls that can be divided in half (12'x12') using swinging gates; each individual stall also has an accompanying 12'x75' outdoor run. The barn has interior and exterior lighting as well as running water with concrete water troughs in all pens and traps.

Exemption: The ranch currently has a 1D1 agricultural exemption based upon cattle and hay production.

Water:

The ranch's main lake (known as Lake Maria on Google maps) is approximately 14 acres. It is stocked with fish and serves as a habitat for waterfowl, mated swans that return annually, and bald eagles. There are five additional stock ponds on the property. Cattle also use the two tributary creeks that cross the ranch. There are four water wells, including two artesian ones.

The main lake is normally 14+ acres and has 2 wooden fishing docks. The spillway/standpipe was upgraded in 2022. The current photos don't do the lake justice. Due to the upgrades, the lake is not currently up to its normal water levels (request prior photos to see its full beauty). There are two emergency overflows provided for this lake, recently updated.

Additionally, an irrigation system is in place, providing water to be pumped from this lake into hay fields if the need arises.

Topography:

The property features rolling hills with nice elevation changes, ranging from a high elevation of 370' down to 290', mostly open improved pastureland with scattered oaks and various native trees throughout. The drainage is good and flows to the two creeks, with approximately 60 acres +/- considered flood plain.

Wildlife:

Magic Ranch offers many hunting opportunities. Whitetail deer are abundant on the property. There are two large, enclosed food plots with tower blinds in place, and a few other blinds are located near the creeks. Feral Hogs are in the area and occasionally seen on the ranch. Mourning doves are prevalent during bird season. Waterfowl opportunities are available on the lakes and along the creeks. The lakes all have fish that consist of bass, catfish, perch, etc.

There is a game cleaning facility consisting of a metal structure and rack, complete with water and lighting.

Neighboring Area:

A portion of the southern boundary abuts 3,500 acres of Sam Houston National Forest. Other neighbors are mostly larger acreage tracts; some pasture/ag properties, others are timber tracts.
