County Road 187 , Cisco, TX 76437(Stephens County)

The Chesley Ranch in Stephens County is truly one of a kind. Located between the charming towns of Cisco and Breckenridge in North Central Texas, these 2,058.59 acres of scenic beauty were once part of a larger family ranch that has decades of history, from cowboys riding the range to present day hunting and grazing operations. The ranch has remained virtually untouched over the years except for fence and road maintenance, and its easy to see the appeal of such pristine land. The diversity of the terrain is instantly noticeable, from lush grassy pastures, to draws, and picturesque hilltops with wonderful views for miles. The soils include sandy loam, sandy clay and rocky shale, which have served to establish a variety of vegetation such as oaks, pecans, elms, mesquite and more. With this extensive wooded habitat, its no wonder the wildlife is such a major selling point! This land is home to many whitetail deer, wild turkey, doves, quail, feral hogs, a variety of birds, and even the occasional mountain lion. There are blinds and feeders on the property, plus a Hunters Camp on the southwest corner. Numerous lakes, stock tanks and seasonal creeks throughout the ranch. Long Run Creek meanders through the property, and various running springs, some of which feed the tanks. All this water means lots of fish, too! Its a recreational dream!

The ranch includes two sets of working pens and is fenced and cross-fenced for livestock. There is currently not a water well on site, but there are some good wells in the area and a local driller thinks he can drill one. One could also have water delivered into storage tanks, or use rainwater harvesting which collects an incredible amount of water!

This ranch has a perfect OUT THERE SOMEWHERE feel offering privacy and solitude, while being conveniently located next to several small towns with shops, stores and restaurants. The neighboring ranches in the area are nice. Location is an easy 1.5 hour drive to Fort Worth/Dallas, or Cisco has a new airport for those looking to fly in or out. THERE ARE FEW PLACES THAT YOU CAN PURCHASE WITHOUT IMPROVEMENTS ALREADY ON THEM...THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD FROM SCRATCH!
