Land & Wildlife

Cool Springs Ranch features elevations ranging from approximately 310’ to 390’ above sea level, providing roughly 80 feet of elevation change and creating natural ridgelines, draws, and scenic vantage points. A balanced mix of open pasture and native timber pockets supports livestock, recreation, and strategic food plot development. Native vegetation includes loblolly and shortleaf pine, post oak, southern red oak, sweetgum, hickory, elm, and yaupon understory. Multiple small creeks and spring-fed drainages traverse the property, offering dependable water sources for wildlife and livestock alike. The surrounding landscape of mixed rural homesites and larger timber tracts supports strong populations of whitetail deer, feral hogs, bobcat, coyote, gray fox, raccoon, and small game species.
