AK160 is a property with a diverse mix of land that has been owned by the same family for 50 or more years. Located in South East Throckmorton County near the historic Bush Knob area, off CR 324, electricity and co-op water are available, making this property a perfect location for a barndominium or lodge. Hunting pressure low to none, this place teems with wildlife, making a great recreational getaway location. The property is gently rolling, and consists of a large stocked pond and seasonal creek, native pastureland with an excellent mix of trees and native grasses, a cultivated food plot, and CRP with annual payment. All combine to bring in profuse wildlife, as well as provide optimal grazing for cattle. Fences are in mostly good condition, water and grazing plentiful. This area is known for an abundance of whitetail deer, turkey, dove, bobwhite quail, and sandhill crane. Also many species of varmints, including bobcats, coyotes, racoons, and feral hogs are present. The property offers quality habitat and good water, creating excellent hunting opportunity. Significant historical significance is the hidden gem of this property. A large stand of ancient live oak trees sits majestically in the southwest corner of the property, and is known to be an important landmark in the late 1800s when the area was being settled. The live oaks site was known to have spring fed water and a nearby spring fed creek, and was heavily travelled by pioneers. The Bush Knob community sprang up and was a thriving community for a time. Bush Knob Cemetery contains a State of Texas Historical Marker which details the Bush Knob Massacre in 1873, which is in the immediate vicinity of this property. This was an area of pioneers, settlers, cowboys, outlaws, and big ranches. Eventually, smaller parcels became available to provide homesteading sites, such as this property, which has only had 3 owners in +/- 100 years. Truly an amazing piece of history, with multi-use opportunity for today, this property has it all. Rhonda Lisle 940-256-1184
