861 acres in King/Cottle Counties

Location: Located in Northern King and Southern Cottle Counties between Guthrie and Paducah, Texas on the North side of FM 3416.

Terrain: The Lancaster East Ranch is a beautiful combination cattle grazing and hunting property located in the big country of North Central Texas. Located halfway between Guthrie and Paducah, Texas, along the North side of FM 3416, about halfway between Wichita Falls, Lubbock, and Abilene areas. The centerpiece of the ranch is the newly remodeled ranch headquarters house located in the center of the property. The 3-bedroom/2 bath home has new, low maintenance plank flooring throughout. A two bay attached garage provides secure and climate controlled storage of gear while away. The backyard features a covered patio deck for outdoor entertainment or watching those beautiful rural Texas sunsets.  The homes exterior has been finished in durable concrete siding, energy efficient windows, and a new composite roof. A nice 30’ x 50’ fully enclosed metal workshop is located on the northwest end of the property. Equipped with a 6’ x 6’ commercial grade game cooler with racks and game hooks, this area serves as the game processing/storage area for the ranch. Additional improvements include a livestock barn with cattle pens. The 861 acres encompasses a nice mix of partially cleared pasture for livestock grazing and more heavily brushed shinnery oak cover for wildlife. In fact, the shinery thickets are an excellent draw for game especially when acorn drops occur in the fall. Large populations of whitetail deer, wild hogs, quail, and turkey venture from the surrounding ranches to take advantage for the great food sources on the Lancaster Ranch. The more open pastures and brushy fence rows are excellent areas to take advantage of the great quail populations in the area. Terrain consists of rolling sand hills with a variety timber including soapberry, mesquite, shelter belts, and hackberry thickets that are excellent cover for wildlife. The Southwestern portion of the property consists of more hardwood creek bottoms, while the central and eastern portion is more open pastureland with native grasses, ideal for bird hunting and grazing purposes. Two automatic livestock troughs are serviced by the municipal water line. The sandy soil throughout the ranch is perfect for almost any crop or improved grass that is planted in this area. As one moves to the southern side of the ranch, terrain becomes more broken with higher elevations and yields beautiful views of the ranch. The eastern portion of the property features dense shelterbelts of large hardwoods and formerly cultivated cropland; this area of the Lancaster Ranch is the CRP (Crop Reserve Program) and offers annual income to owners. Access is available from 3 of the 4 sides of the ranch, which is a great aspect when considering this property. For the hunter, 4-premium tower blinds and 6 feeders have been positioned across the ranch to allow maximum outdoor opportunities without overcrowding. The existing fencing is in excellent condition and several gated entrances are found around the property. The interior road system is good as the sandy soil allows easy travel even during the wettest times of the year. Whether you’re looking for a weekend getaway or a new residence, the Lancaster East Ranch deserves serious consideration as it is a multi-use property with many improvements for both rancher and sportsman alike!
