Mercury, TX 76872 - McCulloch County

Location and Terrain. This beautiful ranch is in northeastern McCulloch and northwestern San Saba Counties. It has frontage on a spring-fed stream lined with shady elms and oaks. The countryside is pretty, with green slopes and bottoms and plenty of trees. There are draws and creek beds that are rocky and scenic.

Improvements and wildlife. A very good quality game fence surrounds the property and makes it a protected game preserve. Superior genetics trophy whitetail bucks and does have been introduced. These are from a reputation breeder and have the bloodlines for impressive bucks. Other game species have been added as well, including gemsbock, blackbuck, and Axis deer. These can be hunted year-round, as can the feral hogs and varmints. Tremendous wing shooting can be enjoyed as well, with good turkey and dove populations and waterfowl. Definitely a sportsman's delight.

Water.This ranch has a very valuable asset, an artesian well. The well flows into a stock pond on the ranch, keeping it full and making a nice water feature. It also has frontage on spring-fed Deep Creek, a tributary of the Colorado River.

Price.$3500. an acre
