Stone Butte Whitetails spans an impressive 320 acres, nestled in the charming southeast corner of Throckmorton County, conveniently near the small town of Woodson, Texas. Accessed off FM 3327, it offers an unparalleled sense of privacy, tucked away down a scenic easement, a true hidden gem. As you drive through the secluded gate, you'll find the road leading to the cabin, traveling past a substantial food plot. This plot supports local wildlife and presents an excellent opportunity for a sunflower field for dove hunting in the offseason. Upon arriving at the cabin, you'll be delighted to see its thoughtful positioning, showcasing breathtaking sunset views overlooking a large pond and a beautifully crafted sendero-style food plot. Stone Butte Whitetails presents a charming barndominium featuring two inviting bedrooms, full bathrooms, and a loft on each end. Ideally situated, this generous open-concept layout features a spacious kitchen and a delightful relaxation area, enhanced by large windows that invite an abundance of natural light. Just out the back door is a roomy back porch that flows into a big backyard, offering a wonderful space for children to explore and play freely. Adjacent to the cabin is a multi-use barn that provides a second living quarter with a bunkhouse feel and a large bathroom. Outside the bunkhouse is a spacious workshop featuring multiple roll-up doors, ensuring effortless access for side-by-sides and storage. A spacious covered carport is also perfect for farm equipment and a great area to hang out, sharing unforgettable hunting tales. To top it off, the barn includes a well-equipped cleaning station with a sink, hanging rack, and drain, making it a truly versatile space for all your needs. Both improvements benefit from a rain collection system, effectively utilizing the cabin and barn for this purpose. Additionally, the owner has a water meter on FM 3327, offering the convenient option to fill a trailer with water for transport. For an interested buyer, extending a water line down the easement to the improvements is possible, ensuring easy access to water. Stone Butte Whitetails boasts high elevation, deep draws, water sources, and a diverse mix of rich mesquite, oak, and native grasses, making it a notable place to explore. With approximately five miles of well-planned roads, the ranch provides convenient access to all hunting setups, captivating points of interest, and picturesque ponds. Five well-established ponds serve as vital water sources for local wildlife and livestock. In winter, these ponds attract a vibrant population of ducks and offer fantastic fishing opportunities for family and friends to enjoy together. The current owners introduced 200-inch class whitetail and high-bred does to the property many years ago. While there are a few exotic animals, the primary focus is on the whitetail. We are monitoring the animal population using game cameras and anticipate gaining insights into the numbers soon. One remarkable feature is the thoughtful shortening of the high fence at the north and west corners, which leaves about five acres intact under a low fence. This area is equipped with a blind and feeder, allowing the opportunity to hunt low-fence deer in the same unique setting. While most blinds and feeders are designed for bow hunting, they provide excellent opportunities for customization according to the new owner's vision and preferences.
AGENT COMMENTS: Stone Butte Whitetails is a unique property that maximizes the use of every inch of land. It offers the opportunity to hunt both high and low fences on the same ranch, which is quite rare. All deer blinds and feeders are in excellent condition and are strategically placed throughout the property. With its thick woods, lush grass, and significant elevation changes creating deep draws, this ranch invites hunters to explore and engage. In my opinion, the improvements made are ideal for the size of the ranch, whether for commercial use or personal enjoyment. The maintenance required for the cabin, barn, and blinds is minimal by design.
