Stagecoach Crossing Ranch

Stagecoach Crossing Ranch spans approximately 353.49 +/- high-fenced acres in the East-Central region of Texas, nestled in the picturesque landscape of western Freestone County. This area serves as a natural transition zone between the Piney Woods to the east and the Blackland Prairie to the west, offering a diverse and beautiful environment. With a bunkhouse available for weekend getaways, the ranch offers the perfect blend of quiet country life and easy access to the nearby towns of Fairfield (I-45) and Teague. Conveniently located approximately halfway between Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston, the property is very accessible via major highways, including Interstate 45 and U.S. Route 84-providing quick connections to these larger cities. Named for the stagecoach stop found on the property and the nearby crossing at Caney Creek, Stagecoach Crossing Ranch carries a strong sense of Texas heritage and frontier spirit. The land presents a rich blend of thick forests, wooded cover, and open pastures spread over gently rolling terrain, making it well-suited for hunting, grazing cattle, and more. Multiple roads and trails wind through the ranch, inviting you to explore the property by vehicle, ATV, horseback, or even on a hike, uncovering the natural beauty and hidden corners within. There is no lack of water on the ranch, with several ponds including a newly constructed 2 +/- acre pond and Caney Creek running along the western edge. The ranch features approximately 2,550 +/- feet of frontage along County Road 930. Whether you are seeking a hunting retreat, a working ranch, or a private weekend escape, Stagecoach Crossing Ranch offers both beauty and function. Owner financing is available. IMPROVEMENTS: The ranch is entirely high-fenced and includes several pens/traps, featuring a 1.5 +/- acre turnout pen. The headquarters, located near the front of the property, boasts an older, modest 780 +/- square foot bunkhouse with one bedroom and one bathroom. A 35 ft x 25 ft metal barn sits on a concrete slab and is equipped with water, electricity, and hookups for a washer and dryer, along with a tankless water heater. This barn provides ample space for a workshop or storage of small equipment. Additionally, there are (3) 20 ft x 20 ft carports that are currently used to shelter larger equipment and (2) fuel tanks for convenience. Near the county road on the north end of the ranch, in one of the smaller traps, you will find a set portable-panel cattle working pens, complete with a manual squeeze chute. WATER: The headquarters is served by an electric water well, installed in the summer of 2024, housed within an 8 ft x 8 ft insulated well house. The well reaches a depth of approximately 385 +/- feet and supplies water directly to the house and the barn. Across the ranch, there are (6) ponds, including a newly constructed 2 +/- acre pond. Caney Creek runs seasonally along the western edge of the property, complemented by multiple draws and wet-weather streams that intermittently hold water depending on rainfall. Together, these water sources ensure that some form of water is available on the ranch year-round. This region receives an average annual rainfall between 35 and 45 inches. ELECTRICITY: Electricity to the ranch is supplied by Navarro County Electric Cooperative, with two active meters currently serving the property. WILDLIFE: The ranch supports an abundant and diverse population of native wildlife, including White-tailed deer, wild hogs, dove, and ducks. The various ponds, particularly the newly built 2 +/- acre pond, offer excellent habitat for waterfowl and other species. In addition to native game, exotic Blackbuck Antelope also roam the property, adding to its appeal for wildlife enthusiasts. The ranch has not been hunted in the past four years, and the current owners have maintained an active protein feeding program to support herd health and overall wildlife quality. AGRICULTURE: Livestock: The general area supports average stocking rates of 8-15 acres per animal unit on native pasture and 50-75 acres per animal unit on forested ground. A set of portable-panel working pens with a manual squeeze chute are located on the north end of the property near County Road 930. Their location allows for convenient loading and unloading of livestock. Timber: Timber was harvested for the first time on the ranch in late 2024, covering approximately 30 +/- acres. The goal was to improve grazing for both cattle and deer. With a significant amount of timber still in place, the next owner may have future income potential through additional harvests. TERRAIN, VEGETATION, HABITAT, AND SOIL: Stagecoach Crossing Ranch is set in an area known for its fertile soils and mix of grasslands and woodlands. The terrain is gently rolling, offering a visually appealing and functional landscape. The property features approximately 35% open pasture and 65% wooded cover, creating a diverse mix of forage and shelter. Tree species include Blackjack Oak, Post Oak, a variety of other large Oaks, Pine, Yaupon, Hackberry, and additional native hardwoods.
