The highest elevation is 1275 and the lowest near one of the creeks is 1120. There are massive views of Lake Buchanan, Torr Na Lochs Winery, and several prominent hilltops in the area.
The ranch has been well maintained and the trail system is very adequate. Vegetation includes Live and Post Oak trees, some prickly pear, juniper, persimmon, and agarita. Brush/tree coverage is estimated to be 50% cleared, and 50% cover providing an excellent refuge for wildlife.

Water: Two live creeks flow through the property giving it an excellent place for wildlife and livestock alike to water without supplementing. The creeks are both believed to flow year-round. A water well near the cabin/workshop/bunkhouse area provides water to the complex as well as water to the barn. No data is known about the well at the time of this writing but the current owner has never had an issue with the well drawing down or running dry in over 10 years of ownership.

Equestrian/Agriculture: There is a 4000 square foot, 16-stall barn complex complete with tack room, feed room, and bathroom. A 1000 sf shop is attached to the barn. Atop the barn sits a 740sf covered observation/party deck and spectacular views can be had. A 30amp 110-volt solar system provides for the barns lighting/electrical needs.
To one side of the barn, a 100 x 150 3-rail riding arena sits. To the other side of the barn and leading up and into the barn is a 5-acre irrigated horse pasture and a 4 acre auxiliary pasture.

Elevations range from 1,140-1,180 feet on the property.
A beautiful homesite appears at the back north east portion of the property with amazing views looking south and southwest towards Hickory Mountain and Bachelor Peak. With a little more clearing and trimming, even greater views would reveal themselves.
