 Property Detail
Location: One mile East and North of Knippa, Texas. Visible from Hwy. 90, on a rock asphalt, all
weather road.
Property description:
45 acres of flat land, deep rich topsoil, all the rocks on this
property have been imported, brought on the property for driveway
and pad sites. Two abstracts, one fifteen acre “L” shaped property
joining one 30 acre rectangle. Most of the acreage has been
recently planted in small grains (oats or wheat) for grazing,
however there is some coastal grass sprigged around the house and
barn. There are no neighbors close by, as this property is
bordered by farm land and pasture on all sides. There are two
functional water wells and several other water wells that have
been cased and pumped, (husband was a water well driller). The two
wells near the house are approximately 300 feet and in “the
serpentine”. A good “Austin Chalk” well is about 1200 feet from
the house. Buildings include a house, shop, barn, indoor arena and
storage building.
House: The house was originally built
in 1917 in Knippa and moved to its present location in 1985. It
was given extensive renovation. A large upstairs room, utility
room , and kitchen dinette were added. The house was completely
insulated. All the windows were replaced with double pane crank
out windows. A large master bath and closets were added. Total
square footage is approximately 1825. The ceilings are very tall
and every room has a ceiling fan. The wood siding exterior was
replaced with stucco.
Shop: The shop is 30 x
60 , 20 foot tall, on a four inch concrete floor, with three 14 x
16 sliding doors. The shop has the plumbing for a bathroom, but
not the walls, it could have a second floor added.
Main Barn: The main
barn is a five stall monitor style American Barn from California .
It is tongue and groove two by fours on the outside and metal
lined stalls on the inside. Interior walls are metal on both sides
and all walls are 8 feet tall. There is a sixteen foot concrete
ally down the center of the monitor style barn with large sliding
doors on both ends. Four of the stalls are 12x12 and there is a
12x16 foot foaling stall with an observation window in the 12x16
tack room. There is an 8x12 grooming area in the main barn. Since
it was a “demo” barn on display, all the stalls have different
features, one has an extra sliding door that leads to a run out
area.
Indoor arena and
stalls: The indoor arena has a 50 x 100 earth working area,
although the surrounding structure is much larger. The
superstructure has three foot in diameter, twelve foot deep
concrete and steel footings for the supporting I beams and has
withstood very high winds. The indoor arena building is adjacent
to the Main barn (a 10 foot covered, concrete apron,connects the
two buildings). This apron (ally) extends down the south side of
the arena making a concrete walkway to the eight covered stalls on
the long side of the indoor arena. These stalls are approximately
12 x 20 and are made with pipe and 4x4 , four gage cattle panel.
They all have sliding stall doors.
Inside the arena
building, there is an indoor wash rack/ treatment stanchion.
The feed room is
complete with toilet and plumbing for a full bathroom.
Two tall sliding
doors, allow for easy access into the indoor arena building for
hay delivery. A twenty yard end dump can deliver material inside
the arena.
An automatic fly spray
system is installed in the main barn tack room and services the
main barn and all 13 stalls.
The stalls in the main
barn are plumbed for automatic waterers, 2 of the 8 indoor arena
stalls have automatic waterers and others have faucets in the
ally, between the stalls.
Behind the indoor
arena are four 40x40 pens built of heavy pipe and 4x4, 4 G. cattle
panel with safety latches. One of the pens has a 20x20 cover. All
the pens have access to two large concrete water troughs. Behind
the pens is a very large fenced outdoor “arena” (sprigged in
coastal).
North arena trap and
Grain bin: on the North side of the arena is a large pen in
coastal grass and a 16 foot in diameter grain bin. This bin has a
funnel shaped concrete bottom and a grain auger. This bin could
easily hold 30k lbs. of oats. This pen has a water hydrant and
automatic water unit.
Other pens and
buildings: also North of the arena is a series of large pens (all
pipe and cattle panel construction). There is a covered “two
stall” shed with solid sides and multiple gates. In the adjacent
pen, there is also a nice, sturdy 12x16 sheet metal “chicken
house” and a joining 12x16 shed. There is a wooden storage
building (approximately 16x25) that was part of the original
house. It has six large windows and built in cabinets.
There is also a large
pen (40x80) near the front of the main barn. It has a 12x20 cover
and several large gates and plumbed for an automatic water unit.
The outside wash rack is next to this pen.
