460 acres in Wilbarger County

Location:

Located in northern Wilbarger County, approximately 10 miles north of Vernon, Texas on Highway 283 and less than 3 hours from the DFW Metroplex.

Terrain:

The Rolling Springs Ranch is a beautiful multiuse recreational/hunting property with an excellent mix of former CRP areas with native/conservation grasses, and heavily timbered hardwood creek bottoms. This creates the ideal habitat with multiple transition zones that wildlife like quail, turkey, and
Whitetail deer flock to. The property features 10 small to medium size food plot areas that can be planted in different crops for wildlife nutritional needs throughout the year. The higher points of the property drops into two tiers forming several smaller thickly lined drainages that form the larger creek on the southeast portion of the property. The stepped slopes help catch rainfall and provide another great asset of the Rolling Springs Ranch; the live water that flows through the hardwood creek bottoms. There is no doubt the wildlife presence is a clear indicator that generations of animals have known about these natural springs for years! The rolling terrain also provides several elevated points that would make ideal hunting blind locations overlooking the creeks. Habitat for wildlife is exceptional around the ranch with towering cottonwood, elm, and hackberry trees that provide dense cover and roosting areas for turkey along the creek areas. Red cedar and sand plum thickets in fringe areas allow thermal and nesting cover with ample food supply throughout the ranch. An older homestead is found in the southwest end of the property and would make a perfect hunting stand or possible building location with its elevated view overlooking a long creek bottom with shelterbelt to the south. The second house along highway 283 is equipped with metal shop and barn with cattle pens. Rural water and electrical service is available at this location and would also be the perfect location for a hunter’s camp. Two county roads on the north and west side and Highway 283 frontage to the east provide multiple access points to the property. The Rolling Springs Ranch offers several options for the property owner looking for fantastic natural amenities for wildlife with food plot areas as well!
