Hilltop Lakes Ranch

Property Description

Located just south of Cooper Lake, this functioning cattle ranch, boasts water features and views that are truly amazing! Naturally occurring, but unique, topography has been carefully sculpted to maximize surface acres of water for wildlife, cattle production, recreational opportunities and a beautiful view from the strategically located home. The acreage has been carefully managed and improved through intensive rotational grazing, cross fencing and implementation of irrigation, significantly increasing its carrying capacity. Substantial county road frontage with utilities serve as the western and southern border of the property allowing for almost unlimited future division and development if desired.

Careful planning went into the location, design and construction of the impressive home. Elevated on one of the highest points of the acreage the home boasts stunning views of the landscape. A large back porch/patio area and massive windows in the open concept main space allow the owner to fully appreciate the estate below. The home was completed in April of 2020 and was constructed to exacting standards. 3500 square feet of heated and cooled space is complimented by a large garage, patio, porch and carport. An impressive 50x 100 hay barn, a newly constructed 40x60 shop with 30x60 equipment overhang, and a set of pipe cattle processing pens complete the ranch structural improvements.

The water features alone deserve further description. There are a dozen impoundments on the ranch, six of which are between one and five acres. The topography and vegetation lend themselves to deep clear water lakes on their northern dams and shallow water backing upstream into tributaries. This setup is ideal habitat for drawing in waterfowl, which roost on Cooper Lake, and growing trophy bass for fishing! The lakes also add ample opportunity for livestock grazing, irrigation and a gorgeous landscape.

The ranch is conveniently located between the amenities of Sulphur Springs ( with its much revered downtown square area) and Commerce while being just 80 miles from downtown Dallas. It is also minutes from Cooper Lake State Park and its Wildlife Management Area.
