152 Acres in Vernon, TX - $296,400
This Northwest Texas hunting property is well situated between two livewater rivers at the end of a paved county road. Extremely private with minimal hunting pressure, the ranch has consistently produced trophy whitetails year after year, and is prime for a new owner to step in.
The property is bordered by 2000+ acre ranches on its east and south sides, and grazing pastures on the north and west. The tract consists of solid brush country and acts as a wildlife corridor, as deer travel back and forth through it, going between the Pease River valley to the south and the wheat fields on the west and east sides. The tract has two wooded ares, 25 and 55 acres in size, which vary from dense chinaberry motts along the north bluff to tall hackberries, elm, and cottonwoods in the east section. The balance of the ranch, some 70 acres, is in tall range grasses, mesquites, and plum thickets. With ...
The property is bordered by 2000+ acre ranches on its east and south sides, and grazing pastures on the north and west. The tract consists of solid brush country and acts as a wildlife corridor, as deer travel back and forth through it, going between the Pease River valley to the south and the wheat fields on the west and east sides. The tract has two wooded ares, 25 and 55 acres in size, which vary from dense chinaberry motts along the north bluff to tall hackberries, elm, and cottonwoods in the east section. The balance of the ranch, some 70 acres, is in tall range grasses, mesquites, and plum thickets. With this diversity of vegetation, the ranch is perfect for both rifle and bow hunting.
A large population of whitetails inhabit this part of the county, and reports of 170 class bucks harvested in the area are common each season. Several nice trophies have been taken directly off of this tract in the last few years, including some that scored into the 150s. In addition to whitetails, the ranch is also home to Rio Grande turkey, several coveys of bobwhites, dove, feral hog, coyote, and bobcat. The ranch has four seasonal "seep" water tanks and has the potential to hold a wetland development for duck hunting. Underground water is shallow here, if a person wanted to install flood wells for such a development. While the ranch does not have direct river access, it is located only 3/4 mile south of the Red River, and 1/4 mile north of the Pease River.
The property is accessed from a 50' deeded lane off of CR 121. This lane is approximately 1/5 mile long, or 1132.9' to be exact, and leads immediately to the deer camp, where a 2 BD/1 BTH hunter's cabin is in place. This cabin was built in 2008 and has wood siding and a metal roof. It is well insulated, sits on a pier-and-beam foundation, and has a community water line and electricity ran to it, as well as a small septic tank. It comes completely furnished with two full-sized beds, several end tables, a couch, and a refridgerator. The bathroom has a shower, toilet, and sink, and there is another sink in the kitchette. Attached to the cabin is a large covered porch, which provides long views over the bluff and across the Pease River valley - a great area for grilling and hanging out.
After the deeded lane and deer camp, the ranch opens up to be approximately 1/2 mile wide by 1/2 mile deep. A 30' bluff ridge runs along the north side, which provides good views across the pasture below. A heavily wooded 55 acre stretch runs down the east side, where there are lots of rolling hills. This area is probably the best bow hunting and quail hunting on the ranch. The remainder of the bottom pasture is mostly flat, with thick cover. The property is easily transversed, with over 3.5 miles of roads and UTV trails going through it.
Other improvements include perimeter barbed wire fencing, three box blinds, and two spin feeders. The seller owns a small portion of mineral royalties and executory rights and will convey everything owned at full price.
Asking Price: $1950/acre
