http://www.texashuntingland.com/texas-ranches/629wilbarger.php Size: 629 acres - Rolling Springs Ranch 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 agricultural/hunting property with an excellent mix of cultivation, 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 Whitetail Deer, quail, and turkey flock to. The main cultivated portion of the property is located on the northwest end. The higher points of the property are the highly productive farmland which drop into two tiers forming several smaller thickly lined drainages that form the larger creek on the southeast end. Open areas around these drainages would also serve as ideal food plot locations as well. The stepped slopes help catch rainfall and provide another great asset of the Rolling Springs Ranch, the live water springs that are found in 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 dense bottomland. 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 an excellent hunting stand or possible building location with its elevated view overlooking the bottomland and large treed shelterbelt to the south. Rural water and electrical service is readily available on the east edge of the tract and this would also be a good location for a hunter’s camp. Two county roads on the north and west sides 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 established cropland as well! Improvements: Rural electric service, rural water, good perimeter fencing on south boundary, pave frontage on Highway 283, older farm house that could be used as a hunters cabin, barn with small pipe corrals, excellent cultivation and food plots. Wildlife: Whitetail Deer, Bobwhite Quail, wild hog, turkey, and dove Price: $1,375 per acre Contact: Andrew Pennington - Listing Agent/Fractional Owner (940) 838-8112
