Location. Near
Voca, Texas in the granite sand country, on FM 3293.
Terrain. The
countryside here is pretty Texas Hill Country, rolling hills with
some nice distance views. Live oak trees and a few post oaks
decorate the ranch, and it is also wooded with mesquite and other
native woody plants.
Improvements.
A fairly typical frame ranch house with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath
currently has tenants living in it. The house has a metal roof and
exterior siding. A well supplies water to the house. Not far from
the house is a 56 x 48 pole barn covered in metal that is in good
condition, and a small set of cattle pens.
Water. The water
situation is certainly above average. Water is pumped out of a sand
mine which adjoins this ranch, and is pumped into a stock tank on the
ranch. This stock tank then remains full at most times. In addition,
there are 3 wells on the place. Each one is relatively shallow, from 90
to 120 feet deep. There are 5 stock tanks total, and Loafer Creek, a
seasonal creek, traverses from south to north.
Wildlife. This
area is known for good hunting. There are plentiful deer, and the dove
hunting can be great as well.
Minerals. All
owned mineral interests will convey with the surface.
Comments.
This is a very unusual property. It is well suited for hunting and for
livestock production, and it is attractive enough for a weekend
retreat. It's greatest value, however, is for sand production. It has
been tested, and at least part of the acreage has proven deposits of
frac sand, used internationally for fracturing hydrocarbon wells. There
is a sand mine on 2 sides of this property,
and the place is currently under lease for sand mining. This should
produce substantial revenue when it is mined.
Taxes.
Approximately $800 per year
Price. $6500 per acre.
