Chillicothe, TX 79225(Hardeman County)

The property starts with two small cultivated fields at the entrance, approximately 10 and 25 acres in size, then transitions into rolling hills of pasture in the back. The whole property is surrounded by tall shelterbelts, so you cant see any of your neighbors and they cant see you! This maintains a private feel anywhere you are on the place. Even the two fields are divided by a shelterbelt row too, so deer feel safe and protected while feeding. The soils are sandy and additional food plots could be installed virtually anywhere you wanted in the back. Winter wheat grows great here, which is what most of the surrounding farmers produce.

The trees here are what really makes this place unique. In a county where the tree cover usually consist of mesquite thickets, this property has bodark, chinaberry, and lots of tall scrub oaks! In addition to lining the property borders, hardwoods grow up in motts throughout the whole back pasture, in some areas creating the feel of deep woods.

WILDLIFE:

This ranch has just about every kind of game that runs across this area of Texas! You will find whitetail deer, Rio Grande turkey, bobwhite quail, feral hog, coyote, and bobcats. The native vegetation and surrounding cultivated fields help grow some big bucks here. The property has been only lighted hunted for years, and there doesnt appear to be much hunting pressure around it. The cover is great for quail too, with lots of shinnery and ragweed in the pastures.

GRAZING:

If you wanted to lease the property to a local farmer to plant the wheat and graze livestock, there is a tenant ready to go. Underneath much of the pastures native grasses and ragweed is lots of coastal bermuda grass. Rotating the fields and the back pasture, a person should be able to run 8-10 cows. A water well on site provides consistent water for cattle or horses.

IMPROVEMENTS:

In the middle of the tract sits a metal horse shed and pens. Next to it, surrounded by trees, is a water well hooked up to electricity, with a sump pump. This well is used to fill up a small pond next to it, so the wildlife have a constant watering hole. This would also be a great place to set up a deer camp, since the utilities are already in place. The whole perimeter has a barbed wire fence around it in very good shape.

EASEMENTS:

Along the north border of this property, the neighbor to the north has an access easement to get to his adjoining property. The road does not go though any of the hunting part, just along the side of the 10 acre wheat field. Occasionally, an oil truck uses this easement to service their oil tanks on that neighbor as well. There is no existing production on this tract, but it is pooled in with the neighbor who has a well. The owner has no minerals to convey.

ASKING PRICE:

$1550/acre, or $124,000
