Property Description
The J&C Fair Chase Ranch is a highly managed multi-use property, located 20 miles southeast of Seymour, only 45 miles from Wichita Falls, and 100 miles from Fort Worth, Texas. This 640-acre tract is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking to immerse themselves in the great outdoors. Tucked away from highway noise, the privately located headquarters area boasts a spacious 1-bedroom/1-bath cabin with a full-length porch. The cabin features three oversized bunks for additional family members or guests. Additionally, the headquarters comprises two fully enclosed shops with electricity, providing secure storage for ranch equipment and vehicles, along with a cleaning station. Diverse land features and timber adorn the J&C Fair Chase Ranch, ranging from thick patches of oak hardwoods on the west end to large bull mesquite thickets on the east end, serving as excellent draws for wildlife in terms of both food and cover. The owners have diligently managed this dense cover through controlled burns to maintain proper browse for wildlife. Positioned at the center of the ranch is a 100-acre cultivated field, perfect for cattle grazing, hay production, and year-round hunting opportunities. For added convenience, two dove-hunting-specific food plots flank both sides of the large field. Furthermore, additional food plots ranging in size from 1-3 acres have been established around each hunting station, featuring five premium feeder/blind setups with fenced feeding stations. Three protein feeding stations ensure proper nutrition for wildlife throughout the year. A notable feature of this property is its current enrollment in Texas Parks and Wildlife’s MLD (Managed Land Program), which includes the issuance of supplemental deer tags annually. Sportsmen are sure to relish the excitement of hunting whitetail deer, turkey, and wild hog that inhabit the area. One of the most striking features across the ranch is the abundance of water resources, including seven stock ponds and a private, trophy-stocked six-acre lake. Three of the ponds are actively managed and stocked with bass and bluegill. These multiple ponds serve as a major draw for various species of waterfowl, taking advantage of the ranch's proximity to the Brazos River. Waterfowl enthusiasts will particularly appreciate the presence of a duck blind, boat house, and two stable-depth duck ponds adjacent to the lake. Additionally, the property boasts a rural water supply and an automatic livestock water trough located centrally. The J&C Fair Chase Ranch offers amenities conducive to efficient cattle handling, including excellent fencing with divided pastures for rotational grazing and a well-situated set of pipe corrals with a gathering trap located conveniently off FM Highway 1285 for easy access. Two gated entrances along the highway and a well-maintained interior road system provide effortless access to all parts of the ranch. The J&C Fair Chase Ranch presents an appealing option for those seeking a North Texas property with exceptional hunting, cattle grazing, and fishing opportunities on a meticulously managed property.
