Flying Flamingo Ranch

Description

Flying Flamingo Ranch is premium hunting and grazing land outfitted for a full-time residence or weekend retreat. This ranch is uniquely secluded being tucked away down 6 miles of winding dirt roads with towering trees and multiple creek crossings. This acreage has ideal turkey habitat with almost half a mile of a year-round creek running through the northern portion of the ranch.  West Salt Creek is covered with gigantic oaks and elms providing excellent roosting opportunities. The pristine creek runs along mature pecan patches with lush coastal fields. The smaller, north (1.2-acre) pond is loaded with catfish and has a dock for easy access.

In the middle of the ranch lies the "Headquarters" with a 1,600 ft grass-airstrip coupled with a 3,600 sq ft personal aircraft hanger. The current owner utilizes the long straight-away for a long distance shooting range complete with a loading shed to practice in comfort. The alleys and traps lead to the working pens that are set aside from the other improvements. A lush lawn scattered with post oaks surrounds the classic-style brick home providing serene views and ample shade for lounging under the two covered porches. The two bedroom, two bath home with bonus hobby room (possibly third bedroom or bunk room) has been meticulously maintained and updated over the years. There are two living areas each with rocked fireplaces for maximum comfort. The kitchen showcases granite countertops, a stainless steel top island, and a gas cooktop. The flooring is tile throughout the home except for the new laminate wood floors in the master bedroom. Outside the home next to the hanger is a 600 sq ft barn and awning for parking. The entire "Headquarters" and home operates from a water well.

The back pasture is complete with a metal container-cabin which has been outfitted with a bedroom, kitchenette, and AC for guests. The southern portion of the ranch has dramatic elevation with deep draws and large views on top. The hills provide excellent hardwood cover and ample forage. The mossy rocks on the hillside add to the character with small caves and huge rocks to explore. The signs of wildlife are abundant throughout the ranch with buck rubs and game trails covered in tracks. The back boasts another stocked (3-acre) pond with a dock to enjoy the fishing with ease. Flying Flamingo Ranch provides all the outdoors have to offer with many self-sustaining attributes and the "feel" of a good hideout provided by the unique access.
