545 +/- acres located just north of Rising Star with US Hwy 183 frontage and private entrance off of CR 263. This highly productive ranch property is the perfect combination of improved grasses, native pasture and wooded areas. This ranch is currently used for cattle, horse, sheep and hay production along with recreational hunting.
The property has approx. 3,000 ft of Hwy 183 frontage along with just under 2,000 ft of CR 263 frontage. Main entrance to the ranch is located at the end of CR 263. Entering the ranch gate a caliche road will take you to the main home, cabin, pens and multiple other outbuildings.
Main home is a 2/2 with rock exterior, metal roof and hardwood floors in the original part of the home. Kitchen and dining are open concept, large living area with wood stove, office space and additional enclosed porch area that runs the width of the home. Green house with power and water located just behind home. Rain water collection system also in place at the main house. A guest cabin is located nearby and is a 1/1 metal build with carport. Multiple other buildings in this area offer an abundance of storage for feed & equipment. Current owners use one building as a meat processing area and another as a studio. Pens have several separate holding areas with water available and meet at central location where chute and scales are located.
Icing on the cake is a 40' x 60' metal shop on slab with approx. 25' overhangs on all four sides to keep your equipment out of the elements. There is a roll up door on each side, piped in air compressor and multiple outlets. This is the perfect set up for ranch equipment, a place to make repairs and for storage. A second entrance on CR 263 leads directly to the shop area and this area would also make a great home site.
There are 4 water wells on the property with one servicing the home, cabin, pens; second well is located near the main shop; third is near the SW corner in the pecan orchard area and fourth is a windmill well east of the main home. 3rd and 4th wells are currently not being used. Multiple stock tanks are scattered across the ranch and all could use a good rain. Ranch is cross fenced into over 20 pastures offering plenty of opportunity to rotate stock.
