Briscoe County - Silverton, TX
Location: The Evans Ranch is located 18 miles East of Silverton TX off of Highway 256 and is 9.5 Miles North of Turkey TX off of Highway 70. The ranch has access from 2 State Highways and is located approximately 281 Miles from DFW (4 Hours and 21 min) 116 miles from Lubbock (1 Hour and 46 min) 93 Miles from Amarillo (1 Hour and 25 min)
Property Description:
The Evans Ranch, once known as Burson Lake, stands as one of the most breathtaking and historically rich ranches on the Texas market today. Spanning 9,586 deeded acres with an additional 160 acres of state land, this ranch is a testament to the rugged beauty and timeless history of the Lone Star State. Having only had two owners since 1940s, this property offers an unparalleled legacy of stewardship and conservation.
Ranch History:
Tony Burson of Silverton purchased the Slaughter Ranch in 1949 at the age of 47. A man of many trades, Tony farmed, ranched, worked as a banker, and even owned a Ford auto dealership with his father and brothers. In 1952, he constructed a dam on the ranch creating what became a 25-acre lake. This lake, fed by a blue spring hole, served as both a water source and a crossing over Bluff Creek.
The lake quickly became a community treasure. Willard Hudson of Clarendon and Dusty Taylor leased and operated the lake, which they named Burson Lake. It featured cabins, a snack shack, and recreational amenities, opening to the public for approximately 20 years. During this time, it was a beloved spot for families and visitors alike.
Tony eventually retired from the cattle business, leasing the ranch to Bill Cushing and later to Mike Smith. In 1973, Tony passed away, leaving the ranch to his nieces and nephews in the Burson family. By the 1980s, the lake had silted in, and the family made the difficult decision to cut the dam.
Don Burson, Tony's only nephew, leased the ranch for many years, maintaining its legacy until the property was put up for sale in the early 2000s. In 2004, the ranch found a new steward in Bill Evans of Kress, Texas. The Burson family couldnt have been happier, knowing someone of Bills character would care for the land they cherished.
From 2004 to the present, Billy and his family have worked tirelessly to enhance the ranch. In 2014, Billy rebuilt the dam and cleared the silt from the lake, restoring it to its former glory. He also expanded the existing home overlooking the water, creating a haven for his family and guests.
One of Billys most significant contributions was solving the ranchs water challenges. When the property was purchased, it lacked a reliable well. Billy struck water at the north end of the ranch near the Highway 256 entrance and installed miles of underground poly pipe. This system delivers water to approximately 18 troughs across the ranch, ensuring an ample supply for both livestock and wildlife.
Now at 90 years old, Billy and his wife have decided its time to pass the torch. They hope another family will take on this historic property, continuing its legacy of love and care for generations to come.
Water Features:
At the heart of the ranch is an impressive 9-mile stretch of the Little Red River, boasting consistent water flow year-round. Bluff Creek and Oxbow Creek also traverse the property, while multiple natural springs, a 25-acre spring-fed lake, and several stock ponds provide an abundance of water. The stock ponds are stocked with Catfish, Bass, Bluegill, and Crappie, making the ranch a fishermans dream. Additional water resources include:
One well with a storage tank, piped to 18 strategically placed cattle troughs.
Two solar wells, one of which is shared with neighbor but does lie on the ranch providing reliable water sources across the property. There is an additional windmill that blew down
but could easily be restored to working condition.
