357 Acres in Gatesville, TX - $1,419,075

The first thing that you'll notice about this ranch is that it drives "big" for its size because of the nice mix of wooded to open areas...you don't see the whole ranch at once, it opens up as you go around the bends. The ranch is heavily treed with a nice mix of Live Oak, Pecans, Post Oaks, Junipers and a lot of good deer browse that opens into pastures and meadows throughout the ranch and makes it an interesting ranch to drive and offers many possibilities for hunting. The ranch is also well watered with deep Leon River frontage and a wide, rock bottom creek that traverses the ranch from Northeast to Southwest. Two stock tanks add water for livestock and a variety of wildlife to include Whitetail Deer, Turkey, Dove, Ducks Fox, Bobcat and, for year round hunting, the occasional Hog. Dove and Duck hunting are especially good in the area. There are several sites for additional tanks, as well.

The topography is varied throughout the ranch and there's even 50 foot limestone bluffs with gorgeous views across the Leon River Valley. Once home to different tribes of Native Americans, the current owners have found numerous Arrowheads in their walks around the ranch. It's easy to imagine them camped above the banks of the Leon in previous centuries. Numerous fossils are also found regularly on the ranch. A ranch isn't complete with a headquarters and the Leon River Ranch is no exception. The comfortable 2100 sf log home is situated to take advantage of not only the views but the prevailing breezes, as well. With 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, you've got plenty of room for family or friends to visit and explore the ranch!
