This 177 acre tract offers a truly diverse landscape, with gently rolling hills that create long, scenic sightlines across the property and add natural character rarely found on flat acreage. Several tanks (ponds) are scattered throughout, supplying dependable water for livestock, wildlife, and recreational use year-round. Established, productive hay meadows stretch across portions of the land, ideal for continued hay production or additional grazing capacity. Thick, mature stands of native trees border the meadows and line the terrain, offering shade, windbreaks, and excellent cover for wildlife , creating the kind of varied habitat that supports both agricultural use and a genuine outdoor retreat feel. A portion of the acreage has also benefited from erosion control improvements completed in partnership with Texas Wildlife, helping preserve soil quality, improve water retention, and strengthen the land's long-term health, a valuable head start for any new owner focused on stewardship and land value.

The home is leased and the property is currently being used informally by 3 separate parties; one running cattle, one baling hay, and one hunting the land.

Cozy 3-bed, 2-bath home offering comfortable living quarters or a solid rental or caretaker residence. Built in 1993, and original to that era, the home is a blank slate ready for a personal touch.
