About 1229 Fm 2490
The Sheek Creek Ranch is ideally located between Lake Whitney and Lake Waco in southern Bosque County, just 4 miles north of the McLennan County line, 10 miles from Valley Mills, and a short 20-mile drive to the Magnolia Market at the Silos, the Dr. Pepper Museum in Waco, or a Saturday lunch at the Homestead Market.
The property has approximately a quarter of a mile mile frontage along paved FM-2490, with an existing gate at the southeast corner. This unimproved property offers an opportunity to build your dream home or escape the distractions of daily life in favor of the simplicity of a rural lifestyle.
TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT: The property has a desirable rectangular shape, with approximately 40 feet of elevation change from the west corner to the east corner. Typical of this region of the northern hill country, black soils overlay the limestone rock base and are dotted with mature live trees, mesquite, elms, and hackberry.
WILDLIFE: The Sheek Creek Ranch wildlife benefits from being located 1.5 miles west of the Brazos River, as this transition area provides ideal habitat for many game species. These include populations of white-tailed deer, turkeys, feral hogs, doves, and a plethora of songbirds. The wet-weather Sheek Creek provides a base for diverse habitats, good forage, and thermal cover for wildlife in both winter and summer. Additionally, the ranch is bordered by larger tracts of property, providing respite for wildlife and ultimately attracting it.
AGRICULTURE: The ranch is currently under a grass lease, where cattle are afforded the opportunity to graze periodically.
