TBD FM 108

Welcome to Smiley Ranch! This heritage property has recently been partitioned off to be sold as 441.714 acres of stunning livestock ready pasture and year-round hunting habitat. The Smiley Ranch is an amazing property with a 3000+ ft. landing strip once recognized by the FAA making it accessible from anywhere. The landing strip will need a little cleanup to become usable. This Ranch is perfectly placed with lots of frontage on FM 108, and backs up to Elm Creek and about 90 acres of creek bottom. This ranch is perimeter fenced and divided into four pastures with lots of King Ranch Bluestem, Klein and other native grass in the front pastures. A wonderful mix of mature live oaks and post oaks are dispersed throughout the property that keep getting bigger, better, and more beautiful as you move towards the back of the property. There the Elm Creek Drainage provides underbrush and dense canopy cover making tremendous bedding and travel corridors for various animals including whitetail deer, feral hogs, wild turkey, bobwhite quail, and morning and white wing dove. If you are looking for an amazing large property where you can raise cattle, hunt, and just get away from the city, remember the Smiley Ranch!
In addition the owner is offering 47.683 acres across FM 108 for $548,355 (see separate SABOR listing ID: 1709441).

Land
This 441.714 acres of Ag Exempt native land is covered with massive live oaks along the creek bed with more scattered in between several open areas of native grass. The property is mostly flat and slopes towards Elm Creek Drainage located at the Northeast corner. The drainage area serves as an excellent travel corridor for the deer, turkey, and hogs. The grass in the front pasture is mostly King Ranch Bluestem and Klein, with other native grasses mixed in making it perfect for cattle. There is approximately 90 acres of floodplain/creek bottom located at the back of the property along the Elm Creek Drainage.

Improvements/Utilities/Water
There are several power lines running across the property in two separate locations making for easy access. The power lines are even buried under the runway to keep away from the landing strip when it was previously in operation. The property is perimeter fenced and cross fenced with some of the interior fences in need of repair. A small stock tank in the front is also still holding water in the summer heat and provides much needed water to your herd. A recently tested water well is in place next to power line and just needs a pump, power and you are cattle ready.
