251.28 Acres w/100′ Elevation Change, 3/2.5+ Austin Stone Home w/Wrap Around Porches, Barn, 5 Ponds, Shooting Range, Pens

Property Description

Diverse is likely the best word to describe the 251+ acre JK2 Ranch. With over 100 ft of elevation change, the views from the mountain top are amazing! Thick, tree-filled, rocky hills create a north boundary that keeps this place secluded, while plenty of flat, mostly open grazing land keeps the cows happy and general uses plentiful. The home is a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath, ranch style home with tall ceilings, upgraded gas cooktop and a porch that will make you want to kick back in a rocker for hours until you are cooking steaks or making smores at the custom outdoor fire pit in the backyard. With 5 water holes, or ponds, the cattle and wildlife are able to move around quite a bit taking full advantage of the forbes and grasses that call this place home. There are plenty of nice fish to be caught as well! As for the wildlife, you can count on finding an abundance of whitetail deer, turkey, dove, ducks, and even feral hogs crossing through from time to time. Whether you plan to spend a day out at the shooting range, wet a line, or watch the sun rise from the porch and set from the deer stand, this place has you covered with some awesome views of Texas no matter where you look!

Improvements- This ranch has a very nice Austin stone house w/ covered fire pit area out back, 5 deer blinds w/ feeders, equipment shed, 2 connex buildings for storage, working pens, cross fences, shooting range out to about 500 yards with multiple AR-500 steel targets and covered shooting area with benches. From the beautiful entry gate at the road, you’ll cruise up the driveway lit with solar lamps, through the west side of the ranch often dodging the wildlife. The trees are thinned and groomed toward the driveway which really gives you a country club, or resort type of vibe. Soon after passing through the hills and trees the view opens up to the pasture areas where the cows will be greeting you as they graze among the oaks.

House- The 3 bed 2.5 bath house is roughly 2600 sq ft, with a 2 car garage, huge laundry room, mudroom, and wrap around porches to catch some impressive views. Entering the home through the garage you’ll pass through the mudroom, which also has front and back porch access, then into the laundry where you can immediately enter the kitchen. From the kitchen you will see the living room and dining area all in one big expanse complete with vaulted ceilings. The walk in pantry is a nice bonus, too. A large stone fireplace located on the south wall makes an excellent focal point. This place was made for family gatherings! The remainder of the home has the bedrooms to the east, down the hall. A half bath is accessible toward the front door, as well as one of many closets Even having all of this awesomeness inside, you’ll likely still want to be out on the patio!

Terrain- One of the most impressive parts of this ranch is the diversity of the landscape. The north end is primarily a massive rocky hill, or mountain for these parts. It is covered in oaks and has roads that traverse it to get around easily in a SxS. The west side is fairly thick along the fence and made up of a rock lined creek bed that meanders across the property. The current owner has built a bridge in the driveway to help prevent erosion and create an additional small pond for the wildlife. The central, south, and east portions of the ranch are mostly flat which make for excellent grazing pastures when planted. There are just enough oaks to provide some shade and to make for a picturesque setting. The outer perimeter of the ranch is far less manicured creating even more great habitat for the wildlife in this area to thrive, while also keeping the ranch private and very quiet. You can not see or hear the road from the house. This place is so peaceful and well put together.

Water- There are 5 ponds, or water holes throughout the property. They are spread out and currently holding water (9/2023), which tells you that they should be ready to handle just about anything when it comes to drought conditions. The house is supplied by a well in the yard. The water has also been plumbed up to the working pens so it is always freshly available to the cows, as well as a hose bib within reach of the game cleaning rack.

Wildlife- The JK2 is home to an abundance of wild game. Once temps dip, it is not uncommon to find whitetail deer and turkeys at any given time of the day cruising through the trees or crossing the open fields to get from feeding to bedding areas. If a target rich environment is what you are after, then you are in luck here! While often quite nomadic, there are feral hogs that pass through quite frequently. Enjoy a sit in one of the blinds to check out all this place has to offer. From doves, ducks, and turkeys, to deer, hogs and plenty of fishing, there’s always an adventure waiting for you!

Fences- The exterior perimeter is fenced with barbed wire and some hog panels in fair to great condition and currently holding cattle. The cross fencing is barbed wire and divides the property at the cattle pens into a north and south pasture. Most of another pasture toward the southeast is fenced out and would be easily added onto to create another pasture.

Nearest towns are Jacksboro and Bowie. Bowie is closest at about 20 minutes with grocery, fuel, and just about everything else you would need. A quick drive up HWY 287 out of Fort Worth can have you relaxing on a quiet porch or sitting in your deer blind well before the feeder goes off! Give us a shout today to get you set up to see it!
