Eleven water wells and 18 permanent watering stations, including well-fed ponds and strategically placed troughs, provide excellent distribution for wildlife and livestock.

The largest pond spans approximately 2.5± acres when full and is supplemented by a nearby well. Each major improvement area has a dedicated well.Vegetation & TerrainYears of careful stewardship and continuous cedar management have created a beautiful and highly usable Hill Country landscape with thriving native grasses, Live Oaks, Post Oaks, Spanish Oaks, Cedar Elms, Walnut trees, and other native vegetation.

Accessible by a screened entrance and constructed stairway, the cave contains multiple chambers with impressive stalactite and stalagmite formations.Wildlife/LivestockLong-term habitat management, abundant water, and supplemental feeding have produced trophy-quality whitetail deer along with thriving populations of Axis deer, Blackbuck antelope, Red deer, Fallow deer, turkey, dove, feral hogs, varmints, and native quail.
