Land & Water
The ranch features rolling Bosque County topography, with elevations ranging from
approximately 910 to 850 feet. Native oaks, cedar, mesquite, wooded draws, and open pasture create a diverse landscape that supports both livestock and wildlife. The property carries an agricultural exemption and is actively grazed.
Over 2,000 feet of both sides of spring-fed Steele Creek wind through the property. Clear, year-round water, limestone bottoms, mature hardwoods, and two creek crossings make this one of the ranch's defining features. The creek is ideal for fishing, kayaking, swimming, or simply enjoying the shade along its banks.
A separate 1.5± acre bass-stocked lake sits within walking distance of the home, providing another excellent fishing and recreation opportunity.
Wildlife
Steele Creek Ranch offers outstanding habitat for whitetail deer, turkey, hogs, and dove. The combination of live water, timber, rolling terrain, and open pasture creates excellent hunting and wildlife viewing throughout the property.
