437.97 acres in Jones County, Texas

About 140 years have passed since the founders of the Gum Springs Schoolhouse and the Prairie View Cemetery came to these parts, and reminders of their presence still exist today. Although the church and school are gone, the land that hosted these early pioneers still exists with fertile soil and underground water, a settlers best combination. Sitting near the cemetery, this property is now set up for the modern rancher. Cross-fenced, earthen tanks, water troughs throughout along a series of waterlines originating from the two water wells, and a set of working pens. Cross-fenced into five total traps, each with its own water trough and three stock tanks. Separating the improved grasses is a belt of pasture loaded up with wild plum thickets. The livestock thrive on the grasses that grow in a mix of sandy loam and clay loam; typical of a property sitting on the edge of the shinnery. Its in that sandy loam that youll find multiple pockets of wild plum thickets. Although the plums didnt make this year, it is easy to envision the pasture full of deep purple just before July 4th. Not only are those plums great in preserves, but they also attract the wildlife. Whitetail deer, feral hogs, Rio Grande Turkeys, varmints, and more will be drawn in to the multiple clusters of plums; the cowboys that ride the property view an abundance of wildlife daily. Add the wild sunflowers near the stock tanks, and youll see your limit of dove as well. The Prairie View 438 is easily accessible, productive, enjoyable, and ready for you.

Location: Located just a few miles away from Anson, this property is a quick drive to all shopping and grocery needs. Acreage: Approximately 437.97 acres based on a 2017 survey. Topography: A gentle slope from the west to the east lets the elevation change from a high around 1865 and a low of 1768. The ridge-like area that runs along the south side of the pasture is where you see your greatest elevation changes. That gentle slope is just right to capture surface water for the three stock tanks. Rainfall/Elevation: The average annual rainfall for Jones County is around 26 inches. Cover: The average annual rainfall for Jones County is around 26 inches. Fences: A current cattle operation is running on the property, so both the interior and exterior barbed wire fencing is proven. A herd of horses has made the belt of pasture home. The cattle pens are functional. Utilities: Big Country Electric Cooperative is on-site, providing electricity to the water well located near the working pens. The other water well uses a solar panel. Electrical lines run along the FM road. The buyer or buyers agent is responsible for verifying all utilities. Water:Two water wells are operating on the property, one with electricity and one with a solar panel. Both wells have been connected to underground pipes that supply water to various spots throughout.

One captures runoff from the FM road, while the other two capture runoff from the property; all hold water well. The buyer or the buyers agent is responsible for verifying all water. Hunting: The property has seen a dove hunter here and there over the last several years, but the deer and turkeys have gone untouched for a while. No blinds or feeders exist to convey.
