Veale Triangle

The Veale Triangle is an 84-plus-acre property six miles north of Breckenridge, Texas. This land is part of a historic local ranch situated in the heart of big cattle country in Stephens County, where hunting pressure is minimal. In the past, the property was cleared of all mesquite trees; however, the land is experiencing a healthy resurgence of regrowth, which opens up two compelling options for potential buyers. They can embrace natural vegetation to facilitate a more wooded habitat that will attract wildlife, or choose to apply aerial spraying techniques for a rapid, efficient way to manage mesquite. Spraying the mesquites would pave the way for a thick pasture of native grasses, providing a vibrant grazing area for cattle and a manicured landscape that is easy on the eyes. Along the southern boundary line lies the property's highest point, offering enough elevation to provide views over the entire ranch to the north. This spot offers an excellent building opportunity, allowing you to overlook a large pond, watch over cattle, and observe local wildlife from your own yard. Two high-quality ponds enhance the landscape, provide year-round fishing opportunities, and serve as dependable water sources for cattle and wildlife. The Veale Triangle also boasts convenient access with paved road frontage on two sides, ensuring easy travel to and from the property. A significant appeal for potential buyers is that The Veale Triangle is free from past and present oil and gas production, including all buried or above-ground pipelines. This is a rarity, adding considerable value to the land and making it an attractive investment for buyers keen on preserving the natural integrity of the landscape. Whether you envision a cattle operation or a serene home site, The Veale Triangle offers an enticing blend of opportunity and tranquility. For outdoor enthusiasts, Hubbard Creek Lake is conveniently located just three miles away, making it ideal for a day of skiing, fishing, and even exceptional duck hunting.

Its manicured landscapes and inviting atmosphere make Veale Triangle a truly remarkable choice for anyone with a passion for the outdoors. -- IMPROVEMENTS -- Roads ~ Two-tract dirt road through the property Fences ~ 1 pasture; all boundary lines are in good shape Electricity ~ Electricity along HWY 183 and CR 272; Oncor is the provider Water Meter ~ Stephens County SUD runs along HWY 183.
