A large 1,248 sqft storage barn is perfect for ranch equipment and toys plus over 2,400 sqft of covered parking/storage. Several additional buildings sit among the great oaks including chicken coops, loafing sheds, hand built stone boundary walls, along with over 16,500 feet of perimeter fencing and several cross fences.

Location: Located ~15 miles west of Hamilton, TX and ~83 miles west of Waco, TX. ~116 miles to downtown Fort Worth and 122 miles to downtown Austin.
Water: School Land Creek runs through the property and typically runs in the wetter parts of the year. There are several natural springs that trickle water into the creek year-round, even in the driest of years. These springs create small pools in the creek that provide year-round water to livestock and wildlife. The hard limestone bottom of the creek includes numerous interesting dinosaur tracks. The property sits above the Trinity Aquifer. A water well on the property supplies water for both houses, stock animals, wildlife and irrigation.
Wildlife: The ranch habitat attracts most of the native Texas wildlife, whitetail deer, wild turkeys, coyotes, bobcats, foxes, raccoons, mourning and white wing doves and many other native small animals and birds are present on the ranch.
Grasses and Trees: Native grasses, improved Bluestem grass in the hay pasture and native trees are flourishing on the ranch. There is a fantastic bottom along the creek that includes huge Pecan, Oak and Elm trees. There are some very large Oak trees near the guest house that provide shade for the yard. Juniper or Cedar trees and Mesquite trees are also present but well controlled.
An additional 92.53 acres with School Land Creek is available, currently priced at $644,000
