The Little Cypress

Property Description

It is certainly an honor to bring to market such an appealing tract of land in a quiet peaceful setting. With a great water well and established electric meter, everything is in place to bring in an RV or break ground on a new homesite.
The conservation-minded stewardship of the current family has thoughtfully managed to promote wildflowers, pollinator housing, and a water system from the onsite well with several options for use. The two ponds were both cleaned out in 2011 and restocked with bass and perch in one and catfish in the other. In addition to the native vegetation, several varieties of planted trees are thriving around the property's fertile soils.
Location/Access: Gunsight, TX; 20 minutes North of I20; less than 2 hours from Fort Worth; access along Stephens County Road 154.
Vegetation: Trees planted include Arizona Ash, Redbud, Pecan, and a Cypress on a small island in the middle of one of the ponds. A few native Mesquite trees are scattered across this pasture but the landscape is considered mostly open grassland.

Wildlife: Deer, turkey, hogs, and quail are prevalent in the area and pass through on a regular basis from the surrounding brush-covered rangleland.

Other Remarks: The current owners have taken exceptional care of this property with a passion for conservation and stewardship. The open pastures were created from hard work and dedication as they spent the first 2 years of their ownership hand-grubbing the encroaching, water-thirsty mesquite brush. When the drought hit in 2011, they took the opportunity to build a new pond and clean out the existing one. Its refreshing to sense the tender loving care that has been provided on this land over the years. The next owners will certainly enjoy the fruits of that effort with a great foundation to implement their own vision.
