Quanah, TX 79252(Hardeman County)

The land is broken up into three different regions - farm cultivation on the south, native pasture in the middle, and river bottom on the north. The cultivation is cross-fenced into two different fields - 23 and 68 acres in size. The 23 acre field surrounds the headquarters, and the 68 acre field is between it and the native pasture. This land is sandy and can be used to grow winter wheat, alfalfa, haygrazer, or coastal grass. The owner normally puts the fields into wheat and has seen up to fifty deer coming into these fields in the evening to graze.

The native pasture is about 70 acres large and consists of thick brush and woods, with dense tree motts and tall range grasses. Chinaberry groves and hackberry stands open up to small clearings throughout the pasture, creating excellent opportunities for setting up blinds and feeders. Of particular note in this pasture is a three acre food plot, surrounded on all sides by brush and trees. This area would be perfect for installing custom seed mixes, targeted for whitetails.

The river bottom is 65 acres of accretion and has tall grasses, salt cedar brush, and some hardwoods. The whole bottom is sub-irrigated, so marsh areas can be created easily. There is already one large slough that holds water after the wet season. Several staging areas have been set up by the owner to hunt as well. This bottom land is below the native pasture and extends out to the south vegetation line of the Prairie Dog Town Fork of the Red River.

This branch of the Red River usually holds pockets of water and will run in a stream when it rains. It is a natural flyway for migratory birds, such as ducks, geese, and dove. The sandbar is very large and stays covered in deer and hog tracks all year long, testifying to the strong numbers of these animals in the region. Turkey will also be found on the property, as well as bobcats and coyote.

The ranch headquarters is located on the south side and features a well kept three bedroom, two bathroom manufactured home. The house has a metal roof and attached metal carport, tall enough to park a tractor underneath. Inside, the house has CH/A, fireplace, and carpeted interior. An attached back porch, overlooking the fields, provides a nice place to relax. Additional improvements include a storage building and small set of pipe pens, with horse shed. Public utilities and a water well service the house and headquarters.

Asking Price: $290,000

(No mineral rights are available. One pump jack sits on the eastern edge of the cultivation, near the road. The site is kept very clean, and no traffic goes back to the pasture or bottom land.)
