of possibilities whether you dream of raising livestock, having a weekend getaway, or simply enjoying the tranquility

and fertilizing, owner typically runs 45-50 head here year round. A cattle rancher will sure appreciate the pipe, cattle
corral and working pens. The ranch is additionally well watered, offering a dependable water source for the
homestead, wildlife and livestock. The front stock pond is spring fed and maintains a constant water level. Owner's

typical of a Central Texas ecosystem. At Erskine Ranch, the canvas is ready for you to paint your own picture of Texas
living. Spend your days horseback riding, fishing in the ponds, exploring the vast acreage, or simply unwinding in the
shade of towering hardwoods. In the evenings, gather around a crackling bonfire under the starlit sky, sharing stories
