Mingus, TX 76463(Erath County)

Four of the five main lakes on the ranch have been professionally improved and managed over the past 23 years under the careful stewardship of its current owner. The lakes are stocked and aerated and ultimately flow into Rush Creek which also meanders through the ranch. A managers house is situated along Erath CR 107 just 5 miles south of Interstate 20. Ranch operations are neatly handled from a large insulated shop and storage shed which also contains a complete 600 sf residence known as the Casita.

The scenic attributes of Twin Mountain Ranch can not be overstated. With over 140 of elevation change across the property, views from the higher vistas offer a vantage point from which one can see for miles. This fact was not lost on the generations of indigenous peoples that migrated through this region. Camping along these high vistas offered security and early warning of danger. Evidence of these camps still exist in the form of varying sized mortars created by these peoples grinding seeds, nuts and grains and honing tools of war and function.

Vegetation is comprised primarily of native grasses including side oats grama, drop seed, blue grama and little bluestem. Klein grass is seen in pockets historically managed for baling. Trees are prevalent across the property and include elm, live oak, post oak blue cedar, mesquite and pecan. Quality, well maintained fencing exists across the property and creates several pastures allowing for best practices in grazing management. Cattle guards enable easy passage between pastures and concrete improvements, where needed, support vehicular travel through low-water crossings.

Soil types are as diverse as the ranch itself and range from Bunyan and Bosque loams to Bonti-Exray complex as well as occasional pockets of Thurber and Hassee soils.

This is a one-of-one property, never before offered on the open market, located in one of the most sought-after regions of north central Texas. This is a turnkey recreational ranch with everything one could want, ready for its next steward.
