Distances to Texas' Metroplexes Dallas: 2 hours Houston: 4.5 hours Austin: 5 hours TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT Intentionally designed as a cattle ranch this property is split into multiple rolling pastures of improved grasses where up to 200 cow-calf pairs can be rotated frequently to maintain the prime rangeland condition. 5 seasonal wet weather creek systems cut through the property feeding the many ponds and extenuating the large amount of elevation change. Evenly spread across the property are mature post oaks, red oaks, and other hardwood species, giving credence to the property's historic land type within the post oak savannah. These trees provide valuable shade for livestock, hard mast protein for avian and mammal species, and spectacle to the outdoorsman and land steward. Several of the property's ponds feature shallow water wetland areas which provide food and roosting opportunities for various waterfowl species migrating southward. WILDLIFE Although the ranch is grazing focused, the arrangement of drainages, scattered hardwoods, and ponds create a draw for a variety of wildlife species, including whitetail deer, wild hogs, coyotes, bobcats, doves, and waterfowl who use the propertys many ponds.

AREA HISTORY Omaha, Texas, originally named Morristown in 1880 and briefly known as Gavett, was renamed "Omaha" in 1886 when residents drew names from a hat--chosen by Hugh Ellis after his Alabama hometown. Nestled in timbered eastern Morris County, the town grew from a Cotton Belt Railway stop into a trading center, offering rolling pasturelands and small-town charm that appeal to todays ranch buyers.
