Plum Branch Crossing is 160 acres in western Stephens County, Texas, just north of Eolian. This gem is tucked away down an easement, not easily found without guidance. Driving through the secluded gate of the ranch reveals a deer camp ideally situated to take in the beauty of nature while remaining discreet to avoid disturbing the wildlife. A quick drive into the ranch is greeted with high elevation, beautiful, scattered live oaks accompanied by bull mesquite, and lots of character that separates this ranch from the typical Stephens County land. From the top of the elevation, the picturesque views to the south overlook the ranch, making this a great location to build an off-grid cabin or a fantastic spot for a deer blind. Nestled between the hills' crevices is a well-established pond, capturing abundant rainwater runoff and presenting excellent opportunities for expanding precious surface water. From the top of the elevation, the land slowly slopes down to Plum Branch Creek, which flows through the property, creating an ideal habitat for Rio Grande turkeys and a safe passage for wildlife. This area not only attracts a variety of wildlife, but it also features pools of water during the wet months, functioning as a wet-weather creek. To the south of the creek lies a mesquite flat, once a cultivated field, that could be rejuvenated with a bit of time and dedicated effort. On the northern portion of the ranch, there is beautiful hilltop terrain ideal for hunting and exploring. Plum Branch Crossing is a secluded location to enjoy the dark nights, tranquility, and, most importantly, the great outdoors.
AGENT COMMENTS: Plum Branch Crossing is an exciting haven for the adventurous spirit with a vivid imagination. With stunning views, the area offers excellent building opportunities. Incorporating solar panels and water collection systems in the future is beneficial due to the limited availability of water and electricity utilities. This gem packs an enormous punch for only being 160 acres. It typically requires a large ranch to obtain high elevation, surface water, a named creek, and excellent woodlands, with no oil & gas production. Game pictures coming soon.
