Moran, TX 76464(Shackelford County)

Terrain: Deep Creek West Ranch is a superb multi-use property located in central Shackelford County, Texas, only 45 minutes from Abilene and 15 miles north of Interstate 20. This ranch features diverse topography, dense brush, and scattered hardwoods, as well as five-plus ponds that provide additional surface water for livestock and fishing/waterfowl hunting activities. The 625 acres have been cross-fenced to allow for rotational grazing, with pipe-gated entry points for peace of mind. Furthermore, the ranch includes two large cultivated areas totaling 95 acres of rich, well-drained soil, which is well-suited for hay or grain production and wildlife food plots. Large neighboring ranches have made Shackelford County iconic for trophy whitetail in North Texas, and this ranch is no exception, offering excellent potential for Whitetail Deer, Rio Grande turkey, dove, Bobwhite quail, varmints, and wild hogs. The ranchs hunting opportunities are above average for this area, as the dense brush provides excellent travel corridors, and the property has not been actively hunted in a few years! Property access is convenient, with paved highway access on FM 576 and FM 2312, as well as County Road 124 access along the northern boundary. A nice, elevated ridge extends to the northwest side of the ranch and would make a great building location for a home or cabin. Unspoiled views span almost 180 degrees for miles across the Rolling Plains. Electrical service runs through the center of the property with several connection points. Dependable rural water is available along three sides, provided by the Fort Griffin Special Use District. This acreage has the potential for division into several smaller tracts, additional grazing for a growing cattle operation, or ownership as a phenomenal hunting and recreational property.

Improvements: Established electrical service; two crop fields (95 total acres of cultivation); good fencing with divided pastures and pipe-gated entrances; rural water available; paved road frontage on two sides; 0.5 miles of Cordwood Creek frontage (seasonal).

Wildlife: Whitetail deer, Bobwhite quail, Rio Grande turkey, dove, varmints, wild hogs, waterfowl, and fishing.
