Location: This
excellent ranch is in Coleman County on the Colorado River. It is very
near Lake Ivie and has frontage on paved FM 1929.
Terrain:
The terrain is one of the best features of this ranch. It has
almost 200 feet of elevation change, with high bluffs along the
river and spectacular views. There are seasonal creeks in deep
draws or small canyons, and many trees, with a very good diversity
of native browse for the game.
Access to the river is very good, you can drive to the
water in at least 2 places. A natural ford in the river would even
allow a vehicle to cross the river there. Clam shells and other
signs from native Americans are very evident in places, and the
owners have found quite a few artifacts on the ranch. Immediately
across the river is
a 4,000 acre game preserve. The preserve is very lightly used and has
no structures on it.
Improvements: A new home is strategically situated with miles of appealing views
including the river below. It is a 3 bedroom home with an open design
in the kitchen and den area. A 60 foot long porch with an adjacent fire
pit faces the river. You can spend great evenings in the beauty and
tranquility here.
Another asset is the game fence. The ranch has a game fence
in very good condition on 3 sides. The side facing the river is not
fenced. Since this is the side directly across from the game preserve,
it allows for free movement of game.
Water: Water is a valuable asset for this ranch. It has
approximately 2 ½ miles of river frontage. In addition, there
are several seasonal creeks and 5 stock tanks. The house is supplied
with community drinking water.
Wildlife: This is
a game-rich ranch. Big-bodied whitetail deer, dove, turkey, and
waterfowl are all plentiful. There are a variety of predator species
plus wild goats as well. It’s a great property for sportsmen,
with fishing in the river and in Lake Ivie, which is just across the
road.
Minerals: The
owners have approximately 25% of the mineral estate and will convey all
that they own with the ranch.
Price: Reasonably
priced for waterfront property at $2795 an acre.
