AREA HISTORY Washington County played an extensive role in Texas History, too much to include here, but it is interesting to note that artifacts from the Paleo-Indian culture have been found in the area that is now Washington County, indicating that it has been occupied by humans for perhaps 9,000 years or more. Early Indian residents most likely included the Tamique and Xaraname tribes, who inhabited the prairie between the Tonkawas of Central Texas and the coastal-dwelling Karankawas. Early frontiersmen found Tonkawas living in permanent settlements in the central portion of the area that is now Washington County and encountered transient Arananamus and Apaches in the area (Source: TSHA Online). On the ranch, a site is suspected to be a significant mound feature that has not been thoroughly investigated. With minimal floodplain, multiple amazing views, and tons of road frontage, this ranch would be a great long-term investment for future development. The ranch has several high-end developments next door and this area of Chappell Hill is growing at a very fast rate.

Found at the midway point between Austin, Houston, and San Antonio, the ranch is perfectly located for long-term growth. It is extremely rare that a 200+ surface acre lake can ever be found anywhere in Texas, making this ranch unique. LOCATION The ranch is located seven miles south of Columbus on paved county road 101. Less than an hour and a half from Austin, Houston, and San Antonio. TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT The 4LJ3 ranch is a diverse property with several different ecological areas that offer a variety of habitats. The housing compound area consists of manicured yards with historical live oaks throughout approximately 90 acres. This area is a sandy loam soil type, ideal for growing grasses and huge trees with good drainage. The area includes over 100 live oaks and a mix of pecans and other oaks to complement the fauna. This entire area is fenced off from any livestock and kept immaculate. There are about 330 acres of river bottom land that is a mix of pecan bottoms, hay fields, and thicker hackberry and cedar elm forest that provide excellent cover for wildlife. This area has a mix of alluvial soils very rich in nutrients from river flooding that create the ideal environment for the large pecans that dominate here. The middle acreage of the property is mostly the huge lake with rolling hay fields around it. The ground around the lake has been overlayed with sandy loam soils to create excellent and beautiful hay fields that are meticulously maintained. WILDLIFE The ranch has a fantastic population of white-tailed deer and being on a river bottom, opportunities for some very nice deer for Colorado County. The thickets in the river bottom have good roads through them for accessing the multiple blinds and feeders. There is excellent waterfowl habitat on this property making for premier duck hunting. The 200+ acre lake holds large numbers of ducks all winter and has many nooks and crannies with shallow water and aquatic vegetation that are ideal spots for laying out decoys. There is also an eight-acre wetland unit overlooking the lake that can be manipulated to create ideal waterfowl habitat. The Colorado River offers winter duck hunting when the river is along the banks or out on sandbars. There are also several opportunities to create more wetland units along the lake that would have access to water to manipulate habitat to further expand hunting opportunities. There is good dove hunting along the hay fields next to the lake that could be enhanced with additional plantings. Fishing is excellent in the lake, which holds bass, catfish, crappie, and bream. AGRICULTURE Cattle are run in the river bottom and there are multiple hay fields throughout the property. There is an abundance of native pecan trees that are currently not being harvested but are commercially viable.
