Driving Directions: Contact the listing agent for directions and access to the property.

Location: The property is located in northern Borden County and southern Garza County. It is approximately 18 miles north of Gail and 24 miles south of Post off FM 669. A deeded, private road easement provides access to the ranch. Estimated distances from larger cities include: Lubbock, approximately 65 miles away, Midland, around 100 miles, with Abilene being 135±miles, and Fort Worth, about 283 miles.

Acreage: The Oxbow Flat is approximately 765± acres of mesquite bottomland with caprock-like bluffs off three sides. Most of the bluff country drains through numerous ephemeral creeks, creating infinite travel corridors for wildlife across the ranch. Oxbow Flat gets its name from an oxbow tank that runs through the north boundary and is fed by several of the creek drainages. There are areas that pool water after rains, along with two earthen tanks on the ranch as well.

Topography: There is 40’ of relief across the ranch with elevations from 2400’ to 2440’. Most of the elevation change is gradual. The various drainages, along with a couple of tanks and a few short mesas, create unique features. The surrounding views of bluffs and mesas are a sight to behold.

Rainfall/Elevation: According to the Texas Almanac, Borden County’s annual rainfall is 18.2 inches.

Cover: The mesquite and mixed brush cover changes across the ranch from thickets to savannahs. The plumb thickets along couple of the drainages seem to roll on and on. The property has only been grazed by few head of cattle over the last couple years which has allowed grass turf to build up and cover most of the acreage—Big Bluestem has exploded up and down several of the drainages. It is unusual to see one of the big three native grasses in such abundance.

Fences: The Oxbow Flat has perimeter fencing on three sides—north, east and south; but not the west. The fencing in place is adequate for livestock and of mixed ages and materials.

Utilities: Big Country Electric Co-operative provides electric service to the ranch. There are overhead lines run on various parts of the acreage.

Water: There are 2 tanks along with the oxbow that provide surface water. Underground water can sometimes be found in the area but in limited volume. There is a water well just across the southern fence line, the age and condition of that well are unknown.

Hunting: The Oxbow Flat has had little to no hunting pressure for several years now. Large ranching neighbors also provide vast habitat for game. Wildlife that inhabits the area are white-tailed deer, some mule deer, feral hogs, aoudad, as well as mourning doves and various duck species that use ponds and sloughs in the wintertime. Both bobwhite and blue quail have been observed on the property. Coyotes, bobcats, and various other varmints call the area home as well.

Residence and Improvements: There are no structures on property.

Minerals: Sold as surface estate only, seller doesn’t own any mineral interest.

Price: The property is priced at $1,143,675.
