Description of the Land
This ranch has it all... 1,140 acres only 80 minutes from DFW, with over 1 mile of frontage on the historic Brazos River. Significant water and mineral rights included. The land feels like the Texas Hill Country with beautiful oak trees, incredible chalk bluffs, creeks and several great fishing ponds. Highly improved with a large lodge, 10 miles of game fencing, extensive clearing, all-weather roads, staff housing, barns and all necessary equipment. This is one of the finest ranches to ever hit the market, with excellent upland bird hunting, a kennel of quality dogs, superior whitetail deer, exotics and great fly-fishing on the Brazos. Having water rights has been a life saver this year, and the water rights will only become more valuable in the future. Structure the purchase to take advantage of the current tax law. T...
