160 acres in Foard County

Meech Ranch
Foard County

Location:

Located on the Foard County line between Thalia and Lockett, Texas on State Highway 70.

Terrain:

The Meech Ranch is located 15 miles southwest of Vernon, Texas, just west of the Wilbarger/Foard county line. This beautiful home and land combination is an ideal setup for a cattle or equine operation with the ability to grow all of your feed onsite! The 160 acres is dissected into four sections by huge tree shelterbelts. These dense hardwood tree rows provide nice views, great shade, protection from the weather for livestock, and an outstanding habitat for wildlife. The four fields will grow just about anything, but have been left fallow the last couple of years. One field is mostly coastal Bermuda grass while the others have been left for native grass pastures. A well built, 1,932 square foot brick house is the centerpiece of this beautiful property. This home features 3-bedroom/2-bath design with tile flooring and gas log fireplace. In addition the living room and master bedroom have recessed ceilings for a touch of elegance. The kitchen has custom cabinets with center-island. The exterior home has newly installed metal roofing for durability with front and back porches and attached carport to further enhance the functionality of the home. A fully enclosed workshop with full electric and concrete flooring is located behind the house. Two covered livestock pens are also attached to the shop with turnout runs that lead to the pipe working pens. Additionally a working chute and two concrete troughs and a third in the center of the property have been plumbed with automatic valves add to the convenience of the operation. Rural water is provided to the home but is also supplemented by a well with insulated well house just west of the house. Water to the barn and troughs have been equipped with freeze-proof faucets for additional cold weather tolerance. Exterior fencing is brand new, with six strand barbed wire and heavy, pipe bracing as well as pipe gates and entrances. A newly installed pipe and steel cable lined drive is both welcoming and horse friendly as one approaches the house. Property access is quick and convenient via State Highway 70 and County Roads 294 and 297. This is just a short description of the Meech Ranch; one must view this property to truly appreciate all it has to offer.
