Bowie, TX 76230(Montague County)

The property is conveniently bounded by three County Roads (Lone Star Road, Harper Road and Phillips Road) and State Highway 59. The main entrance to the property is an artful display of stone and brick inviting you to make your way into the property via a custom concrete driveway. Springtime visits to the farm afford a sea of Texas bluebonnets surrounding the impressive entry.

Fencing:

With excellent pipe fence along the three County Roads and a conveniently located gate in each segment of fence, the only unfenced portion of the property is that along the State Highway. The property has been used primarily for hay production, so there has been no need to fence the front, however if a new owner wanted to run cattle and hay the place, the unfenced portion could easily be fenced.

Land and Livestock:

The majority of the property has been put into coastal bermuda for hay production. Cross fencing would allow rotational grazing for the new owner desiring to pasture cattle. There is an approximate 70-acre field that has historically been planted to wheat.

Wildlife:

Fishing is the focus of Blue Bonnet Farms wildlife component. There are three ponds; two have been stocked with both bass and catfish. One pond has a dock and a 1200 square foot concrete slab that is just waiting for a structure to be built on it; it also has electricity run to it. Additionally, there is another 320 square foot concrete slab just east of the pond which would make a great location for storage of outdoor and fishing gear.

Water:

The third pond is strictly water for livestock and is very small.

There is a seasonal creek drainage about 3/4 of a mile long that runs from the north end of the property to the south end, which the owner built two pipe bridges across for his driveway.

There is a drip irrigation system set up along the easement of the State Highway to water trees and shrubs, should the new owner desire to plant them.

There are two active water wells on the property, which provide water to the cabin, party barn and one of the ponds.

Improvements:

As you pass the rock entrance driving down the custom poured concrete drive, and after you drive over the first pipe bridge suspended above the creek, you find yourself parking on about a 7200 square foot parking area, made of concrete. This parking area is next to the main residence known as the Party Barn. The Party Barn is over 1700 square feet and can accommodate many people.

Upon walking into the Party Barn, you are immediately greeted by a large kitchen area complete with plenty of seating and large countertop island. Visible from the kitchen area is a large sunroom that leads you into a secondary cooking/fish frying area. After walking through the master bedroom and passing the bathroom, you are able to relax from those hard days outside in a 4-6 person Jacuzzi.

Approximately 150 feet to the north sits a custom built structure known as the Cabin. The Cabin is approximately 1400 square feet and is divided into two separate living areas, for different families. The living areas are about 700 square feet each. One is elegantly decorated to a western theme while the other is decorated to please any hunter or avid outdoorsman.

Each of these structures have a beautiful patio where your family can fellowship, stargaze, or sit around a fire.

Minerals:

No minerals are owned to be conveyed with the sale; there is no active production on the property.

Taxes:

The taxes in 2015 were estimated to be $3,000. This rate was based on a Homestead Exemption. An Agriculture Exemption application was filed in February 2016. In March 2016 the seller was notified that their property would be Agriculture Exempt.
