THE STORY
The Jordan family settled this country in the 1850s. The original Jordan Ranch was a five-thousand acre Erath County holding, one of the earliest family ranches in a region that would become Texas cattle country. This tract is a piece of that legacy.For the last twenty-eight years, one family has owned and worked the land. A small cow-calf operation ran here for more than two decades. The pasture was maintained. The timber was kept. The hunting was light. The kind of stewardship that shows in every corner of the property.The stretch of 281 in front is locally known as Jordan Hill. The ridge above is Buck Ridge, named for what comes off it. From the top, the country rolls in every direction. The land is ready now to be passed on to the next hands.
