DESCRIPTION: The Running H Ranch has historically been utilized as a good combination

ranch, providing plentiful grazing for livestock, recreational hunting/fishing, and the tranquility

that comes with living in the country. The ranch currently produces income through a grazing

lease and has not been hunted in several years. (Also see our 212+/- acre Beaver Creek Ranch

listing for additional acreage.)

TERRAIN: The ranch is predominately native pastureland and cultivated oat fields, with a mix

of scattered hardwoods and mesquite/cedar brush cover. There is approximately 80' of rolling

elevation change across the ranch providing scenic views of the Fairy Mountains to the

southeast.

WILDLIFE & HUNTING: This portion of Hamilton County provides excellent hunting

opportunities and an abundance of wildlife including, deer, turkey, dove, hog, and varmint. Dove

hunting on the Running H could be phenomenal with proper management.

WATER: The ranch features two good stock tanks. One is stocked with largemouth bass, the

other with channel catfish, and the fishing is excellent. Underground water in the area is very

good and there is a well near the house.

FENCING AND ROADS: The majority of fencing around and cross fencing within the ranch is in

very good condition. A small section along CR 122 on the south part of the ranch is in poor

condition. There are pasture roads and trail providing travel through the ranch and a good all

weather entrance road leading from CR 122 to the house.

HOUSE AND BARNS: There is a 1,160+/- SF (per HCAD) 3/2.5 brick house with a two car

garage that was built in the 70's. It would make a perfect weekend retreat and/or ample lodging

for hunters. Additionally there are numerous barns and sheds on the ranch for equipment storage

and livestock.

MINERALS: Minerals are negotiable.

ELECTRICITY: United Cooperative Services provides electrical service to the ranch.

SCHOOL DISTRICT: Hico Independent School District
