A spacious covered porch extends from the home towards the swimming pool providing shade to relax, room to entertain, and peaceful views of the back lawn and traversing creek. Headquarters comfortably provides approximately 3880 square feet of living space including a den, kitchen, open -spacious dining and entertainment areas, and 5 bedrooms with 3 bathrooms. Three detached cabins matching the exterior of the main home provide one bedroom and one bathroom each. A detached garage and carport support the home while three covered cabanas provide shade and comfort beside the spacious swimming pool.

A quaint, private ranch manager's home with utilities is located on the north central area of the farm.

A deep Wilcox Carrizo water well provides quality water to all structural improvements while residential electricity lines provide energy into and near farm boundaries. Well - fed water troughs provide water to two horse pastures/paddocks and six reliable pond dams are strategically placed on the farm for livestock, rotational grazing, and wildlife.

Trees, Grasses, and Forbs: Mature Pine trees, Oak varieties, Pecan trees, and other hardwood tree types make up the primary tree canopy on the farm. Approximately 25% of the farm is sheltered with mature timber, creating good wildlife habitat, shade for livestock, and a stellar setting for farm improvements!

Robust improved Bermuda grasses blanket pastures and provide forage for cattle and horses. The north pasture on the farm is dedicated to hay production. It comprises 45+/- acres of carefully maintained Coastal Bermuda Grass consistently yielding over 300+ round bales of hay per year. SPRINGTREE FARMS conservatively carries 75 AUs including 3 herd bulls under a three pasture rotational grazing system. Grazing for horses is provided by two different paddocks.

The Whitetail Deer population benefits from plentiful forbs on the ranch including Catnip, Illinois Bundleflower, and Chickweed while native acorns provide a steady source of protein in the fall.
