Farmhouse Ivanhoe (United States)

Twin Creeks Ranch is located in the fast developing area near the newly formed Bois d'Arc Lake and is one of the largest contiguous land holdings in all of Fannin County, Texas. The ranch boasts its own private, onsite +/-85 acre lake, along with numerous other managed wetlands and ponds, making it one of the premier waterfowl hunting properties in all the area. Spanning +/-933 contiguous acres, Twin Creeks Ranch currently sits as a testament to years and years of wildlife management, habitat enhancement and a deep respect for the land, water and their inhabitants. With that said, the property is also primed for commercial and/or residential development. Sitting only 1 hour from downtown Dallas and only 7 miles from the newly formed Bois D'arc Lake, and as the greater Dallas metroplex grows and activity at the lake increases, this property could be ripe for development of residential and/or commercial endeavors. The highlight of the property is the private +/-85 acre horseshoe shaped lake. The lake reaches depths of 15 to 20 feet and acts as a roost lake for the four engineered wetlands built on the lake peripherals. These timbered wetlands are designed for easy, drive up access to hunting blinds and for incredible shows of ducks decoying through the timber with their feet down. The wetlands are also spread out across the ranch to allow for hunting multiple days in a row without disturbing the roost lake. A number of differing variations of large, mature oak trees dot the landscape alongside cottonwoods, cedars, elm and sycamore trees. While some of the oak trees reach hundreds of feet into the air, the specific water oak variety plays a integral role creating the wonderful duck hunting as it produces a small acorn that the ducks crave. Each water oak tree typically produces 2500 pounds per year of these small acorns, which naturally flow into the wetlands and become a natural food source for migrating ducks. There are also grasslands, timbered creek bottoms, hay meadows and tilled food plots, all of which come together to make incredible habitat and some of the most scenic landscapes in the area. Keep your eyes peeled as you make your way through the electronic, passcode enabled security gate at the entrance of the ranch and head down the long gravel driveway as you are likely to see all types of wild creatures. A cozy and comfortable three bedroom and two bathroom home sits at the end of a one mile long driveway to the pinnacle of the lake and is set at a perfect angle to enjoy the sunrises and sunsets throughout the seasons. The home sets up perfectly as either a full time residence or as a weekend/vacation home. As you enter the home, your eyes immediately shift to the limestone that frames the wood burning fireplace anchoring the living area. The vaulted ceilings and the pine woodwork that flows throughout the home gives it a rustic cabin feel. The well appointed kitchen has a large island wrapped in limestone matching the fireplace, stainless steel appliances and plenty of cabinet space. The master suite, two spare bedrooms, hall bath and laundry room round out the home. Dependent upon how you arrange the home, you could easily sleep 6 to 8 people. Stepping outside, the home has two strategically positioned covered decks that allow for over-watch of the lake and its inhabitants. For safety, there is an underground concrete storm shelter and a whole home backup generator. Just like the rest of the property, the entire home is solid, clean and well designed and easy to manage and maintain from afar. The metal roof, concrete board siding and gated entrance allow you to utilize this as a second home without worry. Within 100 feet of the home is a flagstone firepit sitting area and a covered boat dock and fish cleaning station. The dock has a boat lift, counter and stainless steel sink and is just another in a long, long list of wonderful places to sit and take in the sights. The metal outbuilding has an insulted roof, concrete floor, bathroom and separate shop sink. The building measures 30'x50 with an extra tall overhead door, allowing you to park your truck inside or store all your toys, decoys and tools. The shop also features a game cleaning area. Seven high-end elevated box blinds are strategically positioned around the property overlooking feeders and/or food plots. The deer are plentiful. The entire property is fenced providing privacy, security and allowing for the management of livestock. The heart and soul of this ranch over the last generation has been its recreational value and enjoyment. At its baseline, the lake, wetlands and combination of dense timber and open grasslands provide excellent habitat for a whole host of wildlife, including waterfowl, whitetail deer, hogs, turkey, dove, small game and predators. There is always something in season and this ranch delivers. The ranch provides a wide variety of waterfowl opportunities ranging from Mallards and Wood Ducks gliding in-between the outstretched limbs of decades old oak trees to wide open-water goose hunts. Gadwall, Green Winged Teal Northern Pintail and a wide assortment of diving ducks are all seen on a regular basis across the ranch. The main lake on the ranch is home to both a resident and migrating Canadian Goose population. Again, the beauty of this property is that you can take advantage of all the differing waterfowl opportunities by hunting nearly every day of the season without scaring off the birds currently amassed on the ranch. The fun in and around the water continues with some awesome fishing too! The lake has been tailored with underlying structure and food for massive largemouth bass and large numbers or crappie. The management of this portion of the ranch has not been overlooked. The crappie are removed and consumed when caught to help control their population, but the trophy bass are photographed and released to allow for the top shelf genetics to continue to propagate throughout the lake. 10 pound bass are not uncommon with the largest one being a post-spawn 13.8 pound whopper. The lake has a hard bottom, which leads to clear, clean water. And, that clear, clean water allows for awesome top water action! Imagine watching a massive largemouth chase your lure across the top and elevating through the waterline! Whitetail deer are also highly coveted on this ranch. They are fed all throughout the year, both with static corn and mineral feeders and also via planted food plots. The owners have even created a specific sanctuary area that is not hunted or entered unless necessary. This allows the deer to feel safe and congregate on the ranch in big numbers. The ranch holds a number of nice sized bucks each year with only 1 to 3 having been taken off the ranch each of the past number of years. Hunting positions and options are plentiful with stands hung in various patches of dense timber and elevated, enclosed blinds placed overlooking water or food plots, you can always find the correct wind to hunt. It's always hog hunting season on this ranch. Part recreation and part land management tactic, the owners have made a consistent effort to shoot and/or trap hogs on the property. Combining entertainment and land stewardship is a great way to spend a day outdoors. The owners also host an annual early fall squirrel hunt for family and friends. The trees are filled with two types of squirrels, the Eastern Gray Squirrel and the Eastern Fox Squirrel. This makes for a fun, challenging and rewarding hunt! Cattle have been grazed on only a small portion of the ranch in recent years and that could easily be expanded, if desired. There is also a +/-30 acre hay meadow that is traditionally baled each season and multiple tillable areas totaling +/-4 acres and currently utilized as food plots to attract wildlife. Water rights and minerals rights are both set to transfer upon closing. Over the last decade, the owners have worked hard and put thought, planning and resources behind continual improvement of the property. The lake spillway has been updated and reconfigured to ensure it consistently holds the proper amount of water. The lake has been routinely stocked with shad to feed and support the trophy bass that were put into the lake many years ago. In addition to the food plots designed to enhance all the wildlife on the property, the deer have been consistently managed throughout the property. Fences have been well maintained throughout the property and remain in good to excellent shape. If desired, as the greater Dallas metro moves north and east, combined with the growth and excitement of the newly opened Bois D'arc Lake, the development potential around the private lake may be unmatched in the area. Please Note: Verification of financial ability is required prior to any/all showings. All showings are by appointment only and must be scheduled through the Listing Agent.

Farmhouse Jacksboro (United States)

Henderson Farm is an exceptional 63-acre property in the beautiful southern Jack County, Texas. This property has been meticulously improved and tended to over the years. Initially, the owner built this property with the intent to retire and spend the rest of his days on this stunning piece of land, but life had other plans. All improvements have been built and cared for with the intent to last, not to flip the property and make a little money. Strategically maintained roads are placed around the improvements, making it easy and convenient for trucks and trailers to get in and out of the estate. Henderson Farm is a beautiful example of a well-balanced landscape with carefully cultivated areas, thriving coastal, and a prominent woodland. Its environment fosters a healthy ecosystem and provides stunning views through the property. The owner has strategically removed all unwanted trees and rocks, ensuring no damage from the open area to any farming equipment. These open areas give the property a good, clean, and tight feel while offering plenty of food for the wildlife and cattle and lots of room for the turkey to strut around during the springtime. All three ponds on the property are thriving with fish, and two of them have been stocked with catfish and bass, providing endless opportunities for family and friends to have year-round fun. This property functions with the capability of three water wells. Currently, two of the water wells are in use, while the condition of the third well is unknown. As you enter the ranch through the custom electric gate, you will be greeted by a well-maintained road fenced off to the improvements. This ensures the safety of the livestock and horses on the ranch. Nestled in a thicket of mature oak and mesquite trees lies the Henderson homestead, offering a charming 2,700 square foot barndominium with 2 beds and 2 full baths for comfort and functionality for a small family. Walking into the home, you are greeted by a cozy living area with a large kitchen to the left. Tucked in behind the living room is a bedroom built for company. Upstairs is one master bedroom with large walk-in closets and a huge main bathroom. Just to the west of the home is a building initially built for a welding shop but is currently used as a carport and storage building. This farm offers an abundance of shop space, a private office, a tool room, and many rooms with tall ceilings for an RV, boats, equipment, and anything else that needs to be out of the harsh elements of Mother Nature. Connected between the two large shops is a party barn equipped with a full kitchen, bathroom, air conditioning, and roll-up windows to enjoy the outdoors on those cool afternoons. A remodeled mobile home offers family and friends their space while visiting for the holidays, or it can be rented out for extra income. In addition to all the improvements, this farm offers an excellent set of working pens designed to work cattle efficiently with minimal help. Designed to work while sheltered from the weather, the lane and squeeze shoot are conveniently under the shed, along with a tack room and stalls. This property is turnkey for someone who wants to enjoy country living while only being a short drive to the city. AGENT COMMENTS: Henderson Farm was planned and constructed with the utmost care and durability, keeping in mind the desire to cherish, labor, and entertain loved ones. Although there is a windmill farm to the west, the location of the house among the grand trees obscures any view of them. This farm is ideal for individuals who enjoy a bit of farming and raising cattle while seeking refuge from the hectic city life, yet still being close enough to not feel isolated. -- BARNDOMINIUM -- Home Specs ~ 2,700 sqft custom barndo built in 2006; 2 bedrooms, 2 baths Kitchen ~ Huge kitchen with lots of cabinet space Living Area ~ Cozy living room as you enter the home Master Bedroom ~ The master bedroom is the entire upstairs with a loft, a 12 X 12 walk-in closet, and a spacious bathroom Guest Bedroom ~ Downstairs with roomy closet and private bathroom Front Porch ~ Covered front porch Heating, Venting, & Cooling ~ 3 years old; Goodman Water ~ Watered by a water well that pumps into a 2,500-gallon storage tank; the water well pumps 7 to 8 gallons a minute Electricity ~ Tri-County Electric Septic ~ Own septic tank -- MOBILE HOME-- Home Specs ~ 1,568 sqft mobile built in 1999; 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths Kitchen ~ Sizable kitchen with new custom cabinets Living Area ~ Large living area just outside the kitchen Master Bedroom ~ On the east side of the house, spacious closet and bathroom Porch ~ Covered front and back porch HVAC ~ 3 years old; Goodman Water ~ Watered by a water well Electricity ~ Tri-County Electric Septic ~ Own septic tank -- IMPROVEMENTS -- Main Shop ~ 3,200 SF with sliding doors; spray foam installation; excellent lighting, concrete floor Second Shop ~ 2,500 SF with 3 - 12' roll-up doors; excellent lighting; concrete floor Machine Shop ~ 1,800 SF with roll-up door and sliding door; currently used for carport Supply/Tool Room ~ 900 SF with roll-up door; spray foam installation; concrete floor Storage Room ~ 20' X 30' Water Well Building ~ 15' X 15' building; spray foam Insulation; concrete floor Office In Shop ~ 400 SF; Heater/AC; compo key lock; well installed Interior Roads ~ Excellent road system Boundary Fences ~ 5 strands barbed wire; excellent condition; over 1.4 miles of boundary fence Interior Fences ~ Good condition; 3 pasture; cross-fenced with 5-strand barbed wire; house & 3 ac fenced to keep cattle out Entrance Gates ~ Custom entrance with electric gate Cattle Pens ~ 30'X 40' with tack room and stalls; cover for squeeze shoot -- WATER, COVER & TERRAIN -- Surface Water ~ 3 ponds at .22 ac, .12 ac, and .14 ac (When Full) Elevation ~ 10ft; relatively flat Water Wells ~ 3 water wells; 2 working wells and on one, the condition is unknown Tree Cover ~ 58% wooded; live oak, post oak, elm, mesquite Underbrush ~ Moderate; lotebush, bumelia, skunkbush, ephedra, cat claw, yucca, and prickly pear Native Grasses ~ Little bluestem, grammas, ryegrass; ideal seeds for wildlife Grazing ~ The owner is currently grazing, with a capacity of 1 animal to 28 acres Cultivation ~ 40% cultivated in Coastal Grass; Bonti fine sandy loam and Truce fine sand loam -- HUNTING & RECREATION -- Wildlife ~ Whitetail deer, duck, turkey, dove, quail, hogs, varmint Hunting Pressure ~ Little to no hunting pressure Blinds & Feeders ~ 1 deer blinds & 1 deer feeders Fishing ~ Largemouth bass, crappie, and catfish Habitat ~ Cultivation with scattered woods Pictures & Videos ~ Game footage & fishing pics coming soon -- MINERALS & WIND -- Mineral Rights ~ No mineral rights to convey O&G Production ~ No oil and gas production Pipeline ~ 1 - 2' Natural Gas line; the operator is Colt Gathering (North Texas) L.P.

Farmhouse Tilden (United States)

DESCRIPTION The M.H. Wheeler Ranch is a turn-key hunter’s paradise located in highly sought-after McMullen County. The ranch has been under the management of one of the top wildlife biologists in the state to oversee the expert brush sculpting, enhancement of water infrastructure, Whitetail feeding program, and much more. The result is some of the finest quail and native free-range Whitetail hunting South Texas has to offer! IMPROVEMENTS The ranch headquarters sits atop the highest point on the west side of the ranch, offering stunning unobstructed long-distance views with total privacy and separation from any highway noise. There is a new 4 bedroom / 2 bath double wide and a large 80x40’ equipment barn that is tied into a 40,000GA rain catchment system (currently full), shooting range with covered palapa, and backup generator system. There is an excellent road system throughout providing comfortable access to every corner of the ranch. The property is partially high-fenced on three sides, with the entire eastern boundary being low-fenced. WATER The ranch has excellent surface water and drainage, with two named seasonal creeks meandering through property, and four nice tanks, the largest being 2.5 acres. There are also seven wildlife watering stations scattered throughout the ranch. The owner just recently completed two water wells (12GPM & 6GPM), which will both be tied into a large storage tank to provide even further water supplementation for the wildlife. WILDLIFE HABITAT The habitat management plan has been administered by one of the premier quail biologists in South Texas. Targeting the sandy loam soils in the central portion of the ranch, nearly ~650 acres of brush has been cleared into motts to enhance quail habitat. Immediately after clearing, the entire area was planted in brown top millet to increase the organic matter in the soil and allow the native grass seeds already in the soil to become established. With the recent rains, the entire ranch has exploded with native bristle grass, with grama and buffalo grasses present as well. There are also plenty of brooding areas with tall weeds like lamb’s quarters and dove weed present. Last winter, while all of the native brush was defoliated, ~1,200 acres of prickly pear cactus were treated via aerial spraying to further enhance the quail hunting opportunities. The result is an even more robust population of both Bobwhite and Blue quail. The native Whitetail herd on the ranch has also been expertly managed and enhanced via the supplemental feeding program of year-round cotton seed and protein. LOCATION The ranch is located in Southern McMullen County 25+ miles south of Tilden and has 3.5+ miles of frontage along Hwy 16. MINERALS None, surface only sale.
