Description

When you know a property is the right fit, you have every right to get excited. This is that property. This 960-acre Mitchell County opportunity has what you need whether you’ve been on the lookout for that next ranch or that perfect hunting spot. Some call it a rare opportunity to find a large property out amongst big ranches…while not being consumed with oilfield activity, the Wildhorse 960 is worth getting excited about.

Featuring seven stock tanks that are setup such to feed off the water that flows from Interstate-20 to Wildhorse Creek. Most stock tanks, and feeder dams, have had recent dirt work; the tanks are catching and holding water extremely well. Those stock tanks are placed across the property to allow livestock and wildlife access to water without traveling too far. The tanks are also placed to provide ample water to each of the four grazing traps. Those four traps come to a point where the pasture and the near 200-acres of cultivation meet; coming together at a set of sorting and shipping pens.

The namesake for the property is Wildhorse Creek, this creek also catches a rain well and will hold water for extended periods of time. The near 200 acres of cultivation is in wheat and that blanket of green is starting to draw more and more wildlife. This wheat crop would easily hold a good set of yearlings or serve that bred cow herd.

In the meantime, this wheat crop is a massive draw to the wildlife in the area, attracting whitetail deer, Rio Grande turkeys, feral hogs, dove, ducks, and more. This is not only a deer property, this property will hunt all year. On any given day the whitetail deer can be found bedded down or grazing in the wheat field, Rio Grande turkeys are found exploring the property, and feral hogs hop from mud hole to mud hole. The dove and ducks find this property too.

If you are looking for that rare West Texas opportunity, then you have found it at the Wildhorse 960. Call Dan Byerly at (325) 665-3489 for more information.

Details
Acreage:

The total acreage is approximately 980 acres made up of a whole section (640 acres) and a half section (320 acres). Approximately 200 acres of this property is in cultivation that was broken out a few years ago. The cultivation is in wheat at this time and that crop is responding well to the recent rains.

Topography:

The property does have a gentle slope that moves from the interstate area to the south end. That slope provides a perfect opportunity to capture water in the series of stock tanks across the property.

Rainfall and Elevation:

Mitchell County has an average annual rainfall around 22 inches. The elevation changes gradually across the ranch and ranges between 2171' and 2220'.

Cover:

With less than 200 acres of cultivation, this ranch has plenty of cover. The mature mesquites, Willow, and Hackberry trees across the property provide a great mix of cover for wildlife and plenty of shade for livestock.

Fences:

New interior fences have been installed to rotate livestock on and off the cultivation. Each trap has its own stock tank and even the cultivation has amble trees for shade. A set of pens is located at that pivot point where all the cross fences come together. The perimeter fencing is average and proven to hold livestock.

Utilities:

Electricity poles are found throughout to old oilfield locations, so activating the co-op electricity to any of those locations gives you options when it comes to setting up the homesite or hunting camp. Electricity is also found along the county road. Buyer or buyer's representative responsible for verifying all utilities.

Water:

All of the traps have an earthen stock tank with the total count for tanks at seven (7). In addition to the stock tanks, 0.65 miles of Wildhorse Creek cuts across the SW corner of the property. These tanks are not far removed from being worked on, along with the long feeder damns that create a greater catch for each. The property does sit atop the Dockum minor aquifer. Buyer or buyer's representative is responsible for verifying all water.

Hunting:

Between the surface water, the cover, the lack of pressure in the area, and the near 200 acres of fresh wheat, this place will hunt. On any given day the Whitetail deer can be found bedded down in the pasture or grazing in the wheat field, the Rio Grande turkeys are found exploring the property, and the feral hogs hop from mud hole to mud hole. The dove and ducks find this property too. Most of the stock tanks attract both and the dove love the wheat fields. This property has an abundance of wildlife with several areas available for hunting setups whether it's rifle or bow.

Residence and Improvements:

A nice set of gathering pens is located on the edge of the wheat field and the pasture where all the cross fences merge. This makes it easy to rotate cattle while culling off the heavy end or weaning calf crops. A sea container shown in the photos will not convey.

Mineral Rights:

The seller will convey 10% of minerals owned with an acceptable offer.

Price:

The property is priced at $2,400,000.
