Perfect for hunting, recreational use or as an investment property.

LAND

This property offers a great mixture of grazing land, oak trees, cedar elm, and scattered mesquite.  The F4 Ranch will be of great interest to both livestock owners as well as hunting and recreational enthusiasts because of the healthy populations of whitetail, turkey, quail, dove, and occasional species of native and exotic wild game.  The area consists of a mix of sandy loam fields, native and improved grass, liveoaks and other hardwoods. There are approximately 70 acres with improved Coastal Bermuda grass and 70 acres of pasture is overseeded in improved Wilmann Love Grass.

WILDLIFE

Native wildlife occurring on the F4 Ranch include white-tailed deer, bobwhite quail, javelina, wild turkey, mourning dove, fox squirrel, bobcat, raccoon, skunk, armadillo, ringtail “cat”, rabbit, gray fox, hogs and many species of reptiles and migratory birds. There are also occasional exotic wildlife that pass through occasionally.
