000 RUSSELL ROAD, GATESVILLE, TX 76528

Approximately one-half mile of preferred southern water shed run of Cow House Creek. 160 feet in elevation change. Both high woodlands with distant views, and fertile creek bottom. The property is a wildlife haven with ideal habitat for native white-tail deer, Rio Grande turkey, grey foxes, bald eagles, and numerous other species that avoid more highly populated areas. The diversification of foliage is also to be noted. This part of the ranch was never grazed by sheep and goats nor overstocked with cattle. Because of this a mix of highly valued trees are present. Live Oak, Burr Oak, Shin Oak, Red Oak, Pecan, Black Walnut, Mountain Cedar, Red Bud, Wild Plum, Persimmon, and others can be seen along the trails, bluffs, and creek bank. The trees are trimmed up manually as to avoid root damage with heavy machinery. This opens up the view under the tree canopy. The grasses and forbs include many not seen as much today including butterfly milkweed, beautyberry, prairie verbena, phlox, prairie coneflower, snow on the mountain, tons of bluebonnets, mountain pink, grama grasses, little bluestem, and big bluestem. Bermuda grass and wild clover in the creek bottom field are ideal for grazing animals. Private Road entrance restricts traffic and enhances privacy. A "one-in-a-million" homesite on the limestone bluff overlooking the Cow House Creek valley. A truly jaw dropping view over the creek pasture where you can watch your own livestock and wildlife loaf along the creek from high above on your back porch. A stagecoach trail from Pidcoke to King runs through. There is a man-made rock fence bordering this trail which is incredibly unique and historical.
