301 Acres in Blanket, TX - $2,350,000
A true horseman's ranch offering every imaginable amenity - perfectly suited for the professional cowboy or gentleman rancher.
The 301-acre ranch includes gently-rolling terrain covered in strong native grasses and mature live oak, red oak and post oak. The ranch is approximately 70 percent open, yet, generously covered in stately live oaks. The balance of the acreage is thickly-wooded with live oak, red oak and mesquite offering excellent habitat for white-tailed deer, wild turkey, dove and quail.
The 5,280-square-foot, metal-roofed, native-stoned home includes four bedrooms, 4.5 baths, two fireplaces (one in the spacious living area and one in the master suite), well-appointed kitchen and keeping room, wet bar, two dining areas and two utility rooms.
The kitchen and keeping room open to a flagstoned-floored courtyard and 25,000-gallon in-ground swimming pool with in-line chlorinator...
The kitchen and keeping room open to a flagstoned-floored courtyard and 25,000-gallon in-ground swimming pool with in-line chlorinator and Polaris vacuum system. The attached three-car garage is joined by a small one-bedroom apartment. And the rock-walled backyard opens to a fenced concrete tennis court and covered party pavilion with water, electricity and ample room for outdoor entertaining.
For the horseman, the 340' x 186' roping arena with return alley is the perfect setting for competitive roping or family get-togethers. The roper-friendly, automated arena includes a catch pen and holding pen. All chutes and gates are fully operational from horseback.
When it's time to rest the horses, you'll appreciate the enclosed 14-stall metal horse barn with outside runs, steel-pipe pens and easily-accessible traps for pasturing and grazing.
Water is plentiful. In addition to six stock tanks, the ranch is served by a 300-foot-deep water well drilled into the middle Trinity aquifer.
Paved interior ranch roads provide all-weather access to 29 separate pastures and 12 watered loafing sheds. The fencing is in good condition with more than nine miles of depreciable fencing assets.
The ranch is the ideal setting for any recreational pursuit - hunting, swimming, fishing, hiking, tennis, and, of course, horseback riding. And for the bird hunter who needs to brush up on his shooting, the fully-appointed skeet and trap range offers concrete shooting pads and a one-room party house with kitchen.
The ranch is conveniently-located 15 miles east of Brownwood and 10 miles west of Comanche and less than 30 minutes from Brownwood Regional Medical Center, Brownwood Regional Airport, Wal-Mart SuperCenter and Home Depot.
