Overview
Expansive Ranch with Creek Frontage
Located in far western Palo Pinto County, accessible via US Hwy 180 and State Highway 16, this ranch is situated approximately twenty minutes south of Possum Kingdom Lake's east side. The terrain has been managed as a cattle and game ranch, featuring flat agricultural fields, grassy pastures, undulating native grasslands, limestone outcroppings, and a stunning valley with pecan trees and the clear waters of Ioni Creek. Elevated plateaus offer expansive views alongside limestone bluffs, canyons, and vegetated hills. Tree species include elm, juniper, live oak, red oak, post oak, hackberry, and pecan. Approximately 500 acres are arable, with potential for an additional 1,000. The headquarters includes a cattle handling facility and a residential compound with a brick house, a doublewide home, and a metal shed residence. Practical facilities include a steel storage building, workshop with a concrete floor, and three storage sheds. The owner’s compound features a main house with bedrooms, bathrooms, a den with a fireplace, and a living room. Additional structures include a bunkhouse, a boardroom/office building, an open-sided wood frame shed, a stone outdoor firepit, a covered shooting range, horseshoe pits, a smoker, and a grill. Water is supplied by three miles of Ioni Creek, flowing for seven to eight months each year, along with a spring-fed source pumped to holding tanks. The property includes wet weather streams and over 20 earthen stock ponds. The owner will convey all owned minerals and royalty from approximately 10 producing gas locations. Game includes deer, hogs, turkey, ducks, and dove. The property is secured with high fencing, cross fencing, and cattle guards. Included are 350 head of cattle and bulls, and a variety of farm and ranch equipment.
