320 Acres Nolan County, TexasAbout 40 minutes southwest of Abilene, this 320 acre ranch is set up for both cattle and hunting. North Fork Valley Creek runs through the middle, with an excellent site to build a five-acre lake. The property has three water wells. The perimeter fence is in place and in fair condition, with a solid set of big cedar-stave cattle working pens. All the grubbed/cleared areas were done by the owner, who has also worked as a contractor clearing other ranches in the area, both privately and through the EQIP program. All grubbed areas have been reseeded in a 7-way native grass mix, producing a healthy stand of all seven grasses.
Surrounded by larger ranches that practice brush control, grass reseeding, and wildlife management, this place benefits from strong neighboring stewardship. There is no oilfield activityonly one decommissioned gas line easement along the north fence line. No one sets foot on this place unless they own it. Wind turbines are visible in the distance, but due to the topography, they are barely noticeable unless you're looking for them. Neighboring ranches are improving their land with extensive mesquite and cedar grubbing, reseeding, and stock pond development. Forbs and grasses are abundant, and mature hardwoods line the creek. Three partially fenced areas are ideal for wildlife food plots. This ranch will support at least one animal unit per 25 acres, thanks to successful reseeding.
