One is an electric well and the other is a windmill. There is irrigation well next door on the neighbor's ranch that is capable of 1,200 gallons per minute. There are a 15+/- acre improved coastal pasture and a 12 acre field that could easily be tilled and planted with a food plot for dove or deer. The current owner conservatively runs 45 - 50 head of cattle which allows for continued excellent grass coverage throughout the ranch. This ranch has been in the same family since the 1950's.

GAME: The ranch has native game such as Whitetail, wild turkey, hogs, and occasional roaming exotics. This ranch has excellent potential for dove hunting if the fields are planted.

PRICE: $3,485,000 or $4,250 per acre

COMMENTS: Very nice ranch that would perfect to build a home or lodge on. Also would be an ideal ranch to high fence and start a game ranch.
