200 Acres in Joy, TX - $550,000
The Circle H Ranch
200 +/- Acres
Clay County, Texas
This beautiful north Texas ranch consists of 200 +/- acres of scenic meadows, dense forested areas, and open grass pastures. Located just a couple of hours from the D/FW metroplex, it is extremely private and is bordered by two of the largest ranches in the area, the Burns and the Scaling.
Two forks of Lodge Creek roll through the southern half of the property, providing a mile of frontage. This seasonal creek flows water during the rainy seasons and will hold pockets of water in the dry summer months. The whole creek is lined with beautiful mature post oaks, some of which are over 40' tall. There are five small fields following the creek too, which are currently being used as food plots for wildlife. This combination of water, vegetation, and the shaded cover of the woods creates a perfect habitat for whitetail deer, and trophies sc...
Two forks of Lodge Creek roll through the southern half of the property, providing a mile of frontage. This seasonal creek flows water during the rainy seasons and will hold pockets of water in the dry summer months. The whole creek is lined with beautiful mature post oaks, some of which are over 40' tall. There are five small fields following the creek too, which are currently being used as food plots for wildlife. This combination of water, vegetation, and the shaded cover of the woods creates a perfect habitat for whitetail deer, and trophies scoring into the Boone & Crockett 170s have been harvested on the property. Rio Grande turkey and feral hog are in strong numbers too, contributing to the overall diversity of the ranch.
In additional to Lodge Creek, there are three water tanks scattered throughout the pastures, the largest of which is approximately 3/4 of an acre in size. These ponds are all well-situated off of drainages, so they hold water year around. They have been stocked with bass and catfish for years and are perfect to dove hunt in the Fall.
The north half of the ranch has been developed for cattle grazing, and portions have been kept clear of brush so the native grasses could thicken and flourish. This part of the ranch sits higher than the creek bottom and provides some nice views of the rolling hills of southern Clay and northern Jack County. There are several locations where a lodge or cabin could be built to take advantages of these views, while still keeping an eye on the ranch's food plots to watch the wildlife.
Other improvements include a five-line, barbed wire perimeter fence in excellent condition, metal gated entrance, access to electricity, and frontage on a county maintained gravel road on the west side. The property has a well laid out interior road system, providing access to all corners of the ranch. The roads are a mixture of sand and clay and are easily maintained with a small tractor and shredder.
The Circle H Ranch is truely a diverse property, and one of the finest tracts I've seen in this acreage category. It will offer years of enjoyment to the new owner, in hunting, hiking, fishing, and camping; a fantastic place to teach children about nature or just escape the city lights and sounds. Call land agent Beau Byars at cell phone (940) 224-3183 to arrange your private tour of this unique north Texas ranch.
