Whether your primary interest is cattle, horses, hunting, or a combination of these things, this property will not disappoint. For starters, all 880+/- acres are contiguous, separated only by a graveled county road. Of the total acreage, roughly 200 of it is timber. Pastures consist mostly of mixed cool season grasses, with ladino clover and birdsfoot trefoil added as a legume component for optimal nutrition. The ranch is extensively cross-fenced, with no fewer than 14 individual pastures, and approximately 48 acres of brome hay are grown annually. Sixteen ponds provide plenty of water, along with pools along the courses of the >2 miles of creeks that flow through the ranch. Soils are ideal for growing plenty of grass, and about 77 of the ranch’s acres are terraced, demonstrating that this land once grew row crops. Structures on the ranch include two homes that offer options as on-site housing for ranch hands or caretakers, weekend lodging for owners and guests, or even nightly rentals for an additional income stream. Seven barns and sheds are present, and welded pipe working pens are set up to simplify handling stock. There is tremendous opportunity to develop a truly world-class hunting operation. More than 60 acres grow switchgrass, and with just a bit of management could provide outstanding bedding and nesting cover for the local wildlife. Because of the size of this property, a savvy manager could realistically expect to manage their herds and flocks to remain mostly, if not entirely, within the boundaries of the ranch. This ability to manage and regulate hunting pressure could very possibly produce the kind of record book bucks that avid whitetail hunters dream of.
