Approximately 900 acres (750+- acres plus 150+ acres under option) includes 400 acres in timber forestry, 300 acres in pasture and 200 acres of riparian basins in lakes, ponds and streams. The Ranch has over five miles of horse trails, nature paths and biking courses.  The perimeter of the Ranch is gated and public access is recorded and camera monitored.

The Ranch includes 96% of all minerals (remaining 4% owned by deceased could not be located)

The Ranch is located approximately 70 minutes from the suburbs of Dallas and 180 minutes from the Houston suburbs.  The Ranch lies within the Post Oak Savannah Ecological Study Region with strong influence of Pineywoods Eco-Region.  Topography is gently rolling with elevation grade changes of 100 feet ranging from 311 feet to an elevation of 411 feet.  The area enjoys mild temperatures with hot summers, cool winters and an average daily temperature of 65 degrees.  Rainfall is distributed rather uniformly throughout the year with a slight peak in spring/early summer and average annual precipitation of about 40 inches.  Numerous creek watersheds capture precipitation and deliver to a Ranch wide lake system.  Average annual growing season length is 218 days.

Approximately ten minutes from the Ranch is a 24 hour private jet airport originally built for a NASA installation for Ranch guests use for arrival by private jet travel. 

Lakes and Streams
Bradley Oaks includes 4 existing lakes and 1 additional lake site.

• Lake Velma – An 85 surface acre constant level lake under construction (completion date October 31, 2012) fully permitted by all state and federal regulatory bodies.  Four water sources include run off basin, ephemeral stream, a spring and five permitted water wells to supplement as needed.  The lake is designed by nationally recognized lake architect Bob Lusk for anglers of trophy fresh water bass sport fishing. 
• Angelo’s Lake – A just completed five acre constant level lake including two water sources from the surrounding run off basin and permitted water well.  A water fountain feature is planned for completion once the lake is filled.  Angelo’s estimated water fill date is by end of year 2011.  The lake will be stocked with additional bass to match Lake Velma.
• Soapy’s Lake – A 100+ year old three acre constant level lake including two water sources from the surrounding run off basin and permitted water well.  Topographical and dam relocation maps are available for expanding Soapy’s lake to seven acres.  The lake is currently stocked with northern Canadian bass.
• The Grove Lake – A two acre lake on schedule for completion on October 31, 2011 with a surrounding run off basin as the lake’s source.
• Topographical and dam location maps are available for an additional seven acre lake site.

Two streams merge and cut across the length of the Ranch.  Wolf Creek and Landis Creek merge and create a 1.8 mile long meandering stream all on property.  Distances, depths and widths of the stream have been surveyed for construction of three underwater weir systems to retain water flow during all seasons for a 1.8 mile sport kayaking or canoeing trek.  Engineering plans are available for the underwater weirs which are expected to begin six weeks of light construction during the winter of 2011.  Future plans include the addition of a fourth underwater weir to connect the emergency spill way of Lake Velma with the stream system.  This connection will provide direct access for canoeing and kayaking treks from Lake Velma to the stream system and expand the length from 1.8 miles to 3+ miles including the perimeter of Lake Velma.

The Ranch implemented a wildlife management program covering approximately two thirds of the Ranch.  The primary interests include attracting local game including white-tailed deer, doves and waterfowl.  Secondary target species include encouragement of quail, all non-game birds and songbirds.  The Ranch habitat provides food and cover for additional species including bobcats, coyotes, squirrels, rabbits, raccoons, opossum, armadillo, eagles, owls, hawks, woodpeckers, water birds, and various rodent, reptile and amphibian species.  Dan Van Schaik of Integrated Wildlife Management Company advises on the program.

Heritage Highland Finance and Management Services, L.L.C. is a Dallas-based management company which oversees all operations and care of the ranch.  Their services cover everything, including staffing requirements, ranch operations, wildlife management, building maintenance and upkeep, equipment maintenance, chef services and maid cleaning care. In addition, they provide all recordkeeping and financial management. They also market production from the ranch which includes approximately 300 acres of high protein premium coastal Bermuda hay and grass for horse and cattle feed.  Primary use includes feed for the owner’s horses and the remaining hay is sold at an average annual price of approximately $170/ton for square bales to the horse industry and $85/ton for round bales to the cattle industry. 

The infrastructure of the Ranch includes commercial systems as follows:

The Ranch offers many profitable development opportunities, including drilling for the minerals and residential exclusive ranchette development.

• Drilling:  The ranch sits two miles west of an oilfield developed by Texaco in the 1960s and it sits two miles south of natural gas wells drilled within the last three years.  The acquisition of the ranch includes 96% of the minerals.

• Development of an exclusive ranch club:  The infrastructure and facilities of the ranch were designed to accommodate 80 ranchettes of 5 divided acres along with an undivided interest in 400 acres and all Ranch Compounds and facilities at an average price of $1.25 million for a building site. Members could choose from several architecturally controlled building plans for construction of 4 bedroom homes that compliment the terrain and architecture of the RoseHill on the Bradley Oaks Ranch.  The RoseHill Compound and Equine Compound were commercially constructed and would be the center of the club providing, additional lodging, entertaining and concierge services.  The concierge services would provide all members access to ranch activities, planned weekend events and activities, world-class culinary dining and spa services.  Concierge services would include upkeep of members’ homes, autos and surrounding landscape as well as providing medial services such as maid services, errands and meal planning. This concept is modeled around an idea that combines two lifestyle living approaches.: the country club and the desire for a private ranch.  The development would supply seamless individualized designs for members and their families, combining well-parsed ingredients of sanctuary/adventure with retreat/social gathering.
