, Knickerbocker, TX - Tom Green County

The Barrows Ranch has been owned and operated by the same family since the 1970's. This ranch is in the middle of well-known "Big Deer Country". Our firm feels privileged to represent such an outstanding propery.

This scenic ranch is located in southern Tom Green County, Texas approximately 1 mile east of Knickerbocker, Texas. The property lies on the southeast side of the paved "Knickerbocker Road" and has about 2.5 miles of Highway Frontage. Also, the ranch is approximately 8 miles southwest of the San Angelo Airport, making the ranch very convenient to air travel.

Rolling terrain with predominate cover being cedar and mesquite with scattered live oak. Plenty of good cover for hunting. The ranch has a good turf of native grasses. From atop a peak on the ranch, one has a 360 degree view of all southern Tom Green County, and the view is breath-taking!

A brand-new, 8' Tight Lock net high fence was erected on the perimeter of the entire ranch and completed in 2003. There is approx. 11.3 miles of this very attractive fencing on the perimeter. The ranch has good crossfences and is fenced into 6 pastures and 1 "trap".

Most pastures have at least 2 waterings. The ranch has plenty of water available from 3 windmills, 3 submersible pumps, 5 earthened reservoirs, and numerous water troughs.

Located near the center of the ranch is a nice, brick, one bedroom hunting lodge with large living area and a rock fireplace. There is also a small bunkhouse, a large storage barn, and a set of corrals.

This area is known for good deer hunting. Over the years, the primary hunters on the ranch were family members, thus the ranch has not had much hunting pressure. A recent aerial deer survey indicated a very good deer count in nearly all aspects. This ranch being high-fenced now has a very good start to having some excellent trophy deer with the correct management & feed. Plenty of turkey, quail, and great dove hunting.

There is approximately 800 acres surface only, and 1/2 of the owner's minerals will be conveyed to the buyer on the balance of the acreage. The 2002 Property Taxes which were in "Ag-Use" were reportedly $4039.67.

The F.A.A. has 3 years remaining on a current lease with options to renew on two small tower sites located on the eastern edge of the property. Access is from the northeast corner of the ranch down the (fence line) on a well maintained road. Very little traffic to these two sites with annual income of $1700 per year.

A very rare opportunity to find a very scenic ranch with everything already in place to start a deer management program the way you want it! Excellent hunting, good improvements, perfect location being not far from San Angelo make this ranch a rare find!
