Kepley Place

Kepley Place is a 35-acre property located on Highway 36 between Cross Plains and Rising Star, Texas. This hidden gem features beautiful hardwood trees and thick mesquite, with small open areas rich in native grasses. A lovely pond along the southern boundary enhances the landscape and serves as a valuable resource for wildlife, cattle, or horses, should you choose to have them. Just inside the front gate is an old home that could become a charming residence for a small family with a bit of love. Built-in 2006, this two-bedroom, two-bath home was never fully finished, but it has good bones and potential to be brought back to life. Surrounding the house are small pens that could also be restored with some effort. This is an excellent piece of land that would make a wonderful homestead near town. -- IMPROVEMENTS -- Home ~ Built in 2006, 2-bed, 2-bath; needs to be finished and needs some TLC Roads ~ Side by Side trails Fences ~ 1 pasture; old cross-fence that needs work Gate ~ Inset entrance off the highway Electricity ~ Co-Op electricity pole on the property; needs a new meter Water ~ Water well in front of the home, 40 ft deep, condition unknown; Westbound Water Supply Corp. on north side of HWY 36 -- WATER, COVER & TERRAIN -- Surface Water ~ 1 main pond at .25 ac (when full) Tree Cover ~ Bull Mesquite, Live Oak, Juniper, Pecan, Elm Underbrush ~ Light underbrush; Elbowbush, Skunkbush Sumac, Bumelia Elevation ~ 20 ft of elevation; 1,680 ft on the S end of the property & 1,700 ft on the N end of the property Grasses ~ Native grass; Side-Oak Grama, Little Bluestem, Winter Rye Grazing ~ Property is not being used -- HUNTING & RECREATION -- Wildlife ~ Whitetail Deer, duck, dove, hogs, varmint Hunting Pressure ~ No hunting pressure; the current owner does not hunt Blinds & Feeders ~ No blinds or feeders Land ~ 1 draw; wooded Native Grasses ~ Thick stands, excellent bedding, ideal seeds for wildlife -- MINERALS & WIND -- Mineral Rights ~ No owned oil & gas minerals O&G Production ~ No oil & gas production Wind Rights ~ 100% wind rights convey Wind Production ~ No windmill farms in sight -- ACCESS & DISTANCES -- Road Frontage ~ 800 ft of HWY 36 Piped Entrance ~ 16 ft pipe entrance; double gate Nearby Towns ~ 3 miles E of Cross Plains, 8.5 miles W of Rising Star Major Cities ~ 40 miles SE of Abilene, 114 miles SW of Fort Worth, 28 miles N of Brownwood Airports ~ 24 miles NE of Brownwood Regional Airport; 132 miles SW of DFW Listing Agent: Travis Patterson 254-246-5266
