Flat Creek Ranch
Description
Overview/Summary: Flat Creek Ranch offers a wonderful combination of water, woods, and wildlife in close proximity to Waco, Texas. Once part of a sand and gravel mining operation, the property features numerous quarry lakes that were created as part of the mining operation, seasonal Flat Creek, numerous ponds, and pockets of heavily wooded acreage that buffer these desirable water sources. Whether it’s a fishing and waterfowl hunting getaway, water centric recreational property, or just a really cool gathering place for your family and friends, this landscape offers a canvas for the next owner to create something very unique and special.
Location: Located along South University Parks Drive/FM Highway 3400, the property is 7.5 miles south of downtown Waco and 5.5 miles northeast of Robinson. Physical Address TBD S. University Parks Dr., Waco, TX 76706
Lakes and Creek: Through the mining operation multiple quarry lakes were created on the property that collectively account for a total of approximately 20+/- acres of surface water. The water color and clarity are ideal, and the fisheries appear to be in good shape with plenty of bass, catfish, baitfish, and crawfish. With some management it is believed that these lakes have the potential to produce some great fishing, while also offering some exceptional seasonal waterfowl hunting opportunities.
Note: While care and consideration have been taken in collecting and compiling this information, all surface acreage measurements and depths should be considered approximate and are not warranted by Hortenstine Ranch Company.
Terrain: The land is gently sloping for the most part with some roll near Flat Creek. A berm runs parallel with South University Parks Drive/FM Highway 3400 along most of the east property line and provides additional privacy to the property. The ranch offers pockets of dense wooded acreage that consist of cottonwood, elm, bumelia, mesquite, willow, and honey locust.
Hunting and Wildlife: The property has not been regularly hunted in years and is frequented by native game animals such as whitetail deer, turkey, hogs, and varmints, and is a seasonal stop for a wide variety of waterfowl.
