Terrain:
Deer Creek Getaway is a great multiuse recreational property in North Texas; it is located 19 miles southwest of Henrietta and only 30 miles from Wichita Falls and 60 miles from Fort Worth, Texas. The 75 acres is set up with the avid deer hunter in mind or anyone wanting to enjoy the great outdoors. Principal land features are native grass pastures, plum and mesquite thickets, and hardwood timber along the creek bottom. These hardwoods are excellent roosting sites for Rio Grande turkey that frequent the property. Deer Creek also offers three ponds for livestock and wildlife. As the namesake implies, Deer Creek is a hunter’s dream when it comes to trophy whitetail. Deer Creek Getaway is adjacent to the sprawling Scaling Ranch, where wildlife is responsibly managed and allowed to mature to their maximum potential. In fact, the previous owner noted seeing whitetail every hunting trip out in the field, an amazing testament to the number of wildlife in the area. A portion of this property has been left as a sanctuary for wildlife, where shaded hardwoods and tall native grasses provide an area where deer and other game feel safe and unpressured. A carefully designed premium hunting setup has been strategically placed in the center of the property, with two separate feeders with exclusion pens that provide a year-round draw for wildlife. Most notable is an elevated fiberglass hunting blind with full electricity to run air conditioning during the warmer months or a heater during the winter months. Additionally, a large platform for popup blinds has been set up near one of the feeders to take advantage of early bowhunting season opportunities. Two gated entrances along Scaling Road and FM 1883 provide secure access to the property. A beautiful 3-bedroom/2-bath 2013 manufactured home provides a comfortable base of operation at the headquarters, located just off Scaling Road. The headquarters features a graveled entrance and parking area that has been panel fenced with two pipe gates to the rest of the property. Equipment and vehicles are secure and protected with a 34’ x 30’ tractor barn with full electricity and a trailer apron, and a 20’ storage container provides additional security for smaller items. The groundwater system has been highly developed, with two separate water wells at the headquarters. The primary well feeds a 2,500-gallon storage tank and reverse osmosis filtration system housed in an insulated well house. For durability, freeze-proof hydrants have been installed around the compound, including one near the cleaning station for game. A concrete pad and LED lighting provide ample light for field dressing that trophy buck, no matter what time of day. An added benefit is the proximity Deer Creek has to Lake Arrowhead. Recreational activities such as boating and fishing abound on this 16,000-acre lake just west of the tract. Deer Creek Getaway is a great option to consider if you’re searching for a North Texas property with great trophy hunting potential, exceptional improvements, and a convenient location to call yours.
