The property offers unsurpassed views, beauty, and a diversity of landscape for the region with red canyons, cedar ridges and sheltered valleys. Water This panhandle ranch will not disappoint with water availability, boasting natural springs along Indian Creek throughout the ranch. The Red River Authority of Texas supplies water to the houses, and an electric well located near the house supplies water to the sprinkler system for the main house yard, barn, and pens. There is also a solar well situated in the northeast section and the other various springs provide water for livestock throughout the ranch. Land / Wildlife This hidden gem offers wide diversity in terrain with elevations ranging from 2200' to 2420', boasting breathtaking red canyons, cedar ridges, and creek bottoms. With a large amount of acreage including lower ground and creek bottoms, the native grasses and Bermuda are abundant, providing a generous cattle carrying capacity for this area. Cottonwoods, wild plum and grape thickets, mesquite, and some cedars on the higher elevations make up the landscape. There is also some gravel located in the southeast section of the ranch that has been sold commercially. Wildlife includes whitetail, mule deer, wild turkey, ground birds, bobcats, and coyotes. Improvements The ranch headquarters includes one main house that was built in 2006, near the original ranch house. The main house is three bedroom, two bath with a full length covered back porch. From the covered back porch of the main house, you can see the beautiful vista of red clay cliffs and hills and watch the sunset overlooking Indian Creek and the majority of the ranch. Both houses offer space for large gatherings, with a total of five bedrooms plus a basement. Also near the houses is a quonset barn with a 20' overhang for livestock, that also has concrete floors. The working pens equipped with snake and chute are just to the south of the barn, along with a detached garage shed for storage. The ranch includes perimeter barbwire fencing and ranch roads for access across the property. Away from the headquarters, closer to the main gate of the ranch is a hunters' camp that includes RV hookups for added convenience. Minerals The seller does not believe they own any of the mineral interest. Landscape The property consists of canyons, ridges, creek bottoms and plenty of cover for wildlife. The soils here within are listed with accompanying percentages for area of interest totaling 100%: Obar
