Trees, grass, forbs: This area of Upshur County boasts sandy loam soils which are productive for both hay production and prolific timber stands. This property features approximately 245+/- acres of improved and native pastures. The grasses are predominately common and coastal Bermuda as well as some Bahia and native grasses as well. The vast majority of the property's landscape drains well making access convenient from both entrances. Groves of large mature white oaks, pin oaks, and red oak trees can be found on scattered throughout the ranch. Other tree cover consists of pecan, black gum, sweet gum, river birch, hickory, elm, willow, and some pine. Found within the stands of mature timber scattered across the farm are native forbs and browse that are highly attractive to deer and other wildlife.
Water: The property has a year-round creek (Little White Oak Creek) flowing from the north and into the ranch along its western boundary. Several other creeks and tributaries cross the ranch as well feeding the spring-fed lakes located in the center of the ranch. The lakes are ~5.5 and ~10.5 acres in size and lightly fluctuate in water level throughout the year. In addition to the lakes there are also 2 other stock tanks for livestock and wildlife. The property is also located well within the Carrizo Wilcox aquifer and the Queen City aquifer making additional drinking/irrigation water very accessible from an additional well if so desired.
Topography: The highest point on the ranch can be found on the NE side at 440'+ providing some incredible views, and eventually slopes down to just below 300' above sea level towards the west side of the farm. The majority of the property is rolling to sloped terrain with a little bit of floodplain on the SW corner.
Wildlife and fisheries: Sanders Ranch is settled in a scenic, quiet part of the county where wildlife abound. Deer and dove are regularly encountered and both lakes are stocked with crappie, largemouth bass, coppernose bluegill, and other panfish.
