Cotton Valley Ranch is a 160-acre North Texas ranch located just 10 miles north of Graham in northern Young County. This well-balanced property offers a rare combination of productive farmland, rolling pastureland, and natural beauty, making it an authentic multi-use ranch for livestock, recreation, and relaxation.
The landscape features gently rolling terrain with approximately 40 feet of elevation change, creating scenic views and ideal building sites for a home, weekend retreat, or hunting cabin. A seasonal creek winds through the property, shaded by clusters of mature hardwood trees that provide both character and wildlife habitat. Alongside the creek, the topography naturally lends itself to developing larger surface ponds or small lakes if desired.
A 35-acre field is currently in active cotton production, offering an agricultural component that can easily transition to other crops or improved grasses. Cotton Valley Ranch is comprised of native grass pastures well-suited for grazing cattle or horses. With three ponds already in place, there is ample surface water for livestock, wildlife, and recreation throughout the year.
A mixture of open field and wooded areas supports abundant wildlife, including whitetail deer, dove, turkey, and wild hogs, making it a solid hunting and outdoor property. Access is convenient via a well-maintained and paved Farm to Market Road, and electricity and rural water are available, providing flexibility for future improvements.
Cotton Valley Ranch combines the charm of a working agricultural operation with the peaceful beauty of the Texas countryside. Whether looking for a productive ranch, a hunting retreat, or a place to build your dream home, this Young County property delivers all the correct elements in one remarkable package.
