505.00± acres north of Childress offering a versatile combination of cattle grazing, livestock improvements, wildlife habitat, hunting, fishing, recreation, rural homesite potential, and long-term land investment.
Primarily native and improved grasses cover the property, with rolling terrain, seasonal drainage features, approximately 60 feet of elevation change from northwest to southeast, and expansive views across the surrounding countryside. Good six-strand barbed-wire perimeter and cross-fencing divides the property into three rotational grazing pastures, with livestock water available throughout the grazing system.
CATTLE, HORSE & AGRICULTURAL IMPROVEMENTS
The property is well equipped for livestock operations with holding and working pens near the south-central portion of the acreage.
A substantial covered livestock and feed facility incorporates six horse stalls, with three stalls on each side, water faucets on both sides, and two additional livestock water tanks. The facility also incorporates a FodderTech hydroponic feed-growing system and integrated feed and tack storage. The facility and its components are welded together, creating a unified agricultural improvement, and the FodderTech hydroponic system will convey with the property.
A separately fenced area near the northwest corner of the east tract provides a convenient location for storing round bales of hay.
South Plains Electric Cooperative service enters the property from the north and extends generally through the middle of the acreage.
WATER
Water is an important feature of this property, with one strong working water well and multiple livestock watering locations.
Two dirt stock tanks provide livestock water. According to the Seller, the west stock tank receives runoff from surrounding drainage areas and has not gone dry since it was constructed.
The east stock tank receives runoff and is also supplied with water pumped from the property's water well. According to the Seller, this tank remains full year-round and is stocked with catfish, perch, and recently added bass.
Two additional livestock water tanks and water faucets on both sides of the six-stall horse facility provide additional water for livestock.
The combination of the working water well, stock tanks, additional livestock tanks, cross-fencing, and water distribution throughout the three rotational pastures creates a practical setup for cattle and livestock management.
WILDLIFE, HUNTING & RECREATION
The property offers excellent wildlife and recreational characteristics created by its native cover, improved grasses, rolling terrain, seasonal drainages, stock water, and location between significant natural drainage corridors.
Buck Creek is approximately one mile north of the property, while the Prairie Dog Town Fork of the Red River is approximately 1½ miles to the south. Deer, hogs, quail, and dove are commonly observed on the property.
The well-supplied east stock tank adds another recreational component. According to the Seller, it is stocked with catfish and perch, with bass recently added.
There is currently no hunting lease in place, allowing a new owner flexibility in how the recreational aspects of the property are used or managed.
IRRIGATION POTENTIAL
There are currently no irrigation wells on the property. However, irrigated agricultural land is located immediately across the road northwest of the property and approximately one-half mile east.
The proximity of existing irrigation in the surrounding area may warrant further investigation by buyers interested in potential irrigation development. Buyers should independently investigate groundwater availability, drilling potential, well capacity, water quality, regulatory requirements, and economic feasibility with qualified professionals and the Gateway Groundwater Conservation District.
Seller and Broker make no representation regarding groundwater availability or the feasibility of irrigation development.
