BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This property has always been used for ranching, hunting and recreation.

METHOD OF SALE: The Owners (Sellers) have given Thornton Ranch Sales exclusive written authorization to sell this property. The sellers will convey the property by General Warranty Deed and provide a Standard Owners Policy of Title Insurance and a current survey.

There are no road easements through the property and no public roads on any boundary line with exception of the highway frontage, thus privacy is assured. Terrain elevations vary from 1,320 to 1,520 feet above sea level. There is one particular plateaued mountain-top located entirely within the property boundary lines that covers approximately 25 acres. This area would be an outstanding location for a house if you happen to like high elevation building sites. Or if you prefer lower elevations there are several excellent valley location building sites. There is a superb tree cover comprised of liveoak, Spanish oak, elm, hackberry, persimmon and cedar. All the essential ingredients are in place to facilitate building an upscale country estate (i.e. easy access, electricity, telephone, and good underground water. This ranch is priced right and will be a great investment for the buyer who desires to create the country place of his/her dreams.
