McFarland Ranch

Property Description

Location/Access: The McFarland Ranch is located in the northeast quadrant of Stonewall County, Texas and consists of 2 separate tracts including the 640-acre North Tract and the 1,692-acre South Tract. Both are bisected by County Road 235, which is a well-maintained, low traffic county road.
Improvements: This property offers a blank canvas for creativity with the only improvements being the perimeter fencing on the majority of the boundary. About 2/3 of the perimeter fencing is new to good condition. There is a deteriorated game fence on the north boundary of the large tract but continues to hold cattle. A newer game fence establishes part of the west boundary while the balance of the respective boundary has approximately 7800 feet of absent fencing. The smaller tract to the north has a perimeter fence on the entire property. 2/3 of it is newer barbed wire while the balance is poor to fair.
Water: There are 3 stock tanks on the east side of the 1692-acre South tract. There is an additional stock tank that serves the property from the unfenced, adjacent 640-acre block on the west. This property has been grazed through a lease by the owner of that tract for many years and therefore has never required that boundary fencing (7800 feet). The west side of this tract benefits from the use of that stock tank. Several fair and equitable solutions have been discussed with the neighbor that could serve as a remedy to this unique situation if a prospective buyer desires. Currently, the neighboring section of land is accessed via a deeded easement through the McFarland Ranch.
The 640-acre North tract has 3 surface tanks, however, at the time of this listing, only one centrally located tank was holding water.
It is assumed that groundwater would be unreliable for water well drilling and no rural water lines exist in the vicinity of this ranch. Locally, others in the area have established rainwater collection systems and/or water transport for water supply to a dwelling.
Terrain: Over 200 feet of elevation change across the ranch provides some spectacular scenery.
Minerals: Surface only
Utilities: Electricity is accessible on the large, south tract with several electric lines throughout while the North tract section is considered off-grid.
Other Remarks: This ranch has a really big feel to it at a manageable size. The majority of the landscape has a lot of texture as seen in the dramatic elevation changes throughout both tracts. The area is very suitable for wildlife and strong grasses for grazing livestock.
Acreage and boundary lines will be determined by survey.
Price: The entire 2332 +/- Acre ranch is priced to sell at $1,780,000 or $763/acre. The two tracts are offered individually at a slightly increased asking price.
