Wilkerson Ranch spans an impressive 313 acres in the sought-after northeast region of Stephens County, situated along HWY 67 between Breckenridge and Graham, Texas. This ranch is comprised of bull mesquite trees, complemented by scattered live oaks and lush native grasses, creating an ideal habitat for both cattle and wildlife to thrive. As you drive through the front gate, you'll be greeted by a well-established gravel road that guides you to the southwest corner of the property. Here, you'll find a set of cattle pens and a spacious nine-acre trap, both in working condition. Just before reaching the pens, there's an old home with no current value, yet it presents a wonderful opportunity for an established deer camp or a great location for future home construction. Off the main road, a dirt road branches out in two directions. One leads you to the eastern boundary, allowing you to explore the entire fence line, while the other takes you to two cultivated fields, separated by a tree line. Currently, these fields offer a nice wheat crop that is actively enjoyed by cattle. With the right management, they have fantastic potential as prime dove fields. Driving through the property, you will notice that the woods are thick enough for great cover, but open enough to actually see wildlife while keeping you engaged in your surroundings. Wilkerson Ranch boasts four active ponds. Two on the north side and two on the south that provide excellent fishing, duck hunting, and a vital water source for the diverse native wildlife that calls this ranch home. Each side of the ranch features two deep draws, presenting an excellent opportunity to enhance surface water potential. Wilkerson Ranch is a fantastic property that can be enjoyed year-round, offering hunting, fishing, and other outdoor activities where you can create and treasure lasting memories.
AGENT COMMENTS: Wilkerson Ranch, in my opinion, is ideally suited for a hunting camp and several hunting setups, without disturbing each other. Stephens County SUD water line runs along HWY 67 in front of the property, but it is up to the buyer to confirm availability. For the cattle guy, there is a small fence along the northern boundary line that needs some attention; otherwise, it is ready to go. Another bonus, there is no active oil & gas production. Game pictures coming soon.
