The 190-acre property is a blend of native woods and improved hay pastures, complemented by approximately nine stock tanks that support livestock operations. A small vegetable garden is also located on the property. The terrain consists of both flat and gently rolling pastures, typical of this region of East Texas. Soils include a mix of sandy loam and clay. The property is fenced and cross-fenced to support efficient land and livestock management. Water: Water is a standout feature of The Pharme.
