Woodland Ranch

Summary: Nestled in nature's embrace, Woodland Ranch stands out as an exquisitely crafted recreational haven. The central feature of the property is a sprawling 15-16 acre lake, perfectly complemented by a top-tier residence perched on its eastern shore, offering breathtaking views. This primary dwelling is a symphony of luxury and comfort, ensuring every family moment is wrapped in opulence with access to a custom pool adjacent to a nicely appointed outdoor kitchen and a walking path that leads to a large boathouse below. The ranch boasts three other homes, each thoughtfully designed to guarantee seclusion. Beyond its residential allure, the ranch beckons with a diverse tapestry of landscapes, from open fields to dense woods scattered throughout the rolling terrain, catering to fishing, hunting, cattle grazing, and hay production enthusiasts alike. Practicality meets luxury with a vast climate-controlled shop building, perfect for housing prized collections or passions, also there is a large equipment building to store necessary equipment for the upkeep and maintenance of the property. Add to this a well-constructed cattle/hay barn, a dedicated shop/office for staff, a small equine barn, and miles of both paved and gravel roads. Woodland Ranch is the result of meticulous planning and years of dedication. Now, it awaits a new set of guardians to indulge in its refined version of "the great outdoors" and cherish its mesmerizing sunsets.

Land Characteristics: Woodland Ranch is comprised of 276.398 acres with the bulk of the property having county road (CR 3277) frontage along its southern and eastern boundaries. The tract is gently rolling with elevation ranging from an approximate low of 410’ ASL to an approximate high of 510’ ASL. This approximate 100 feet of elevation change offers a variety of terrain throughout the property that made construction of multiple lakes possible. The property is open to wooded with a mixture of improved pastures, dense blocks of mature native timber and a small area of recently planted pine that will improve seclusion and privacy as it grows. While the bulk of the property is upland area, it is noted that there is a small area in the northern extreme of the property located below the main lake that is located within the flood zone. This area is far away from any improvements with no impact to the utility of the property other than offering some added moisture in the improved pasture that allows for a better stand of grass deep into the summer months. The wide variety of terrain and diversity of open to wooded areas enhances the recreational attributes that the current owners have enjoyed for many years.

Water Features: The primary feature of the property is a large, reservoir style lake that is estimated to be in the range of 15 – 16 acres at full capacity. The main lake has a large, earthen dam with a concrete spillway. This dam structure has been meticulously maintained and no detrimental vegetation has been allowed to grow on the rear slope. This level of care and concern is a must for large water features to protect the investment in the water feature itself as well as the benefits that are derived from it. The main lake is well stocked with pure Florida Bass and Crappie and has been extensively managed for many years. A fish stocking census has been completed twice a year and the lake has been restocked accordingly. This includes stocking of Coppernose Bluegill and Threadfin Shad annually and Redear Sunfish stocked biannually. The main lake has been stocked with Triploid Grass Carp in 2015 and again in 2022.

In addition to the main lake, the property has three larger ponds as well as multiple smaller stock ponds. The larger of the three ponds was utilized as a focal point for the construction of two guest houses. This lake has historically been stocked annually with Tilapia to maintain water quality. Each of the three ponds are stocked and managed with one of the ponds being a deeper body of water that is stocked with striped bass. Multiple smaller stock ponds are scattered through various pastures to provide adequate water for livestock and wildlife purposes. The total surface water for the properties seven water features is estimated to be between 21 and 22 acres at full capacity.

The property is located in the Carrizo - Wilcox Aquifer which is well known for its abundant water supply. In addition to community water supplied by Fouke Water Supply Corporation, Woodland Ranch has two water wells. Each of the homes are reported to be on community water but there is a main water well which provides water for …… that is reported to be 262 feet deep with a 115 GPM yield. This is an excellent source of water that can be utilized for landscaping, supplementing water in smaller ponds or other Ag type uses.
