Transverse the property for almost a mile is Mormon Creek, many springs which feed this creek begin on this land, it had lots of water prior to recent rains. There are three wells on the property, one of which is a permitted well so that it could be used for irrigation. Brush & cedar removal was done but some areas left natural for game cover for the deer and turkey which are abundant in the area.

This ranch fronts on RR 783 and it just a stone's throw from downtown Doss. An attractive stone entrance with power gates will welcome your visitors and an excellent all weather road takes you to the ranch home which consists of varying ages and some interesting history. History has it that the center portion of the home was at one time connected to the cabin described towards the end of this text, it was removed and placed on log skids and pulled to its current location by mules and then additions were made. It is also said to be the first home in the Doss area that had indoor plumbing, which leads to another interesting story about a former property owner, Herman Sauer. Sauer was appointed US Ambassador to Spain and while in Spain, met and married a Spanish princess. When word reached home of the marriage and upcoming return of Herman and his bride, Herman's brothers installed the indoor facilities so as to not embarrass the Princess by having to use the outdoor privy!

Today home consists of 4 bedrooms/3 baths, 2 living areas (one with a fireplace) and is surrounded by century oaks and some very handsome landscaping. Many of the ceilings in the home are 10' and a portion of the home is limestone, likely dating back to the early 1900's. A basement would make a perfect wine cellar! Around the back of the home you will find a rock patio. The yard of the home is fenced with a white rail fence. And just outside the yard fence is the old ranch windmill and a giant yucca plant.

Just outside the main yard area, you are only steps way from a 1 bedroom/one bath guest house. And if you are looking for a project, down near the Mormon Creek is a stone cabin, complete with the original dirt floor from when it was built around 1850 and is thought to be the first structure build in the Doss valley. Now that is character you can improve on and appreciate when it is completed!
