Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
Set near the Forestburg community in the southeastern corner of Montague County, this 180.7-acre ranch property offers a build-ready setting with no existing structures. The land combines large trees (mostly oak) and open native grasses, suited for hunting, cattle grazing, horseback riding, and weekend recreation.
The ranch has over 700 ft of county road frontage and includes electric service available along the road. A wet-weather creek transverses the property through a thickly wooded area with rugged ravines, creating cover and habitat for whitetail deer, turkey, and wild hogs. Elevation changes of 80 feet run throughout the ranch, with much of the open grassy acreage at higher elevations.
There is one stock tank located near the Merritt Road frontage, with potential sites for additional ponds. Several registered water wells are in the immediate area with reported depths ranging from 260ft -530ft and flows of 10-15 gallons per minute. The property is currently ag-exempt with low property taxes. There is one oil-gas well site on the property at the rear, accessed from the neighboring eastern property, and the sellers’ mineral interest will not convey.
