Deerhorn Ranch

Deerhorn Ranch is a 152-acre property located just a short drive south of Breckenridge, Texas. This ranch is a sportsman's paradise, offering year-round activities such as hunting, fishing, farming, or simply relaxing. Its convenient location right off the paved FM 576 road ensures easy access, regardless of the weather or mode of transportation. An old home site, centrally positioned along the road, presents an excellent opportunity to build a hunting camp or a permanent residence. For those who prefer a more secluded setting, a prime location on a hill provides a western view of the ranch and is only a short drive from the eastern gate. Deerhorn Ranch is adorned with dense bull mesquite trees and scattered live oaks, creating a vibrant habitat with native grasses and browse, perfect for wildlife. This property features two strategically designed food plots with blinds and feeders at each end, each with its own pond, which helps keep deer close during hunting hours. These food plots also cater to avid dove hunters, featuring custom-built utility poles that consist of three poles extending through the center of the fields, with a cable strung across for the birds to land on. Rich in sunflowers, water, and ample roosting areas, these fields are an ideal spot for dove when they are in season. Deerhorn Ranch includes four ponds distributed throughout the property. One hidden pond behind the old home site serves as a serene waterhole for wildlife. A second pond, situated lower on the hill, is the oldest and offers excellent bass fishing opportunities. The largest pond, constructed two years ago and located just behind the front food plot, is stocked with baitfish and ready to be stocked with bass. On the far southern boundary, the second largest pond is explicitly designed for duck hunting; it features a dam with varying depths, while shallower areas are intended to attract waterfowl. Additionally, the back southeast corner of the ranch has an old scald that has been transformed to hold water, with a pipeline connecting the back pond to this area to provide shallow water that attracts ducks. Whether you are a deer hunter, bird hunter, fisherman, or simply seeking a peaceful place to enjoy nature, Deerhorn Ranch has something for everyone. AGENT COMMENTS: Deerhorn Ranch is an excellent environment for raising kids or a perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.
