Fencing:
The property is fenced and cross fenced with the exception of the creek area and field abutting the creek.
Terrain:
Mostly Level to Gently Rolling but there is approximately a 120 difference in elevation from the lowest area of the Big Joshua to the far back Southeastern area which feels fairly level.
Actual Cultivatable Fields with one abutting the Big Joshua and another on higher ground that is located behind the Old Homestead Home.
Much of the property from the lowest to the highest portions has generous amounts of topsoil. This is a very rare thing for a property of this size in Kendall County to have.
Trees: There are all kinds of mature trees on this property. Tall Cypress trees line much of the Big Joshua. There are also a lot of large live oaks, pecan, some black walnut, red oak, Spanish oaks, native persimmon, cedar, and cedar elms.
Live Oak Wilt: This area of Kendall County has been hit by Live Oak Wilt and many live oaks were lost on this property. We havent seen new cases of oak wilt but it is unpredictable.
Road Frontage:
There is road frontage on 2 sides of the property with the Waring Welfare Road being the one utilized.
Waring Welfare Road frontage is approx. 1350 feet.
Majestic Oaks Drive frontage is approximately 1280 feet.
