About This Home
Trophy Hunter’s Dream! The Better Ranch is an exceptionally scenic, turnkey, high-fenced ranch for both hunting & nature enthusiasts. The price includes 3 homes, 130+ native and exotic animals, and all equipment and furnishings you need to move right in! These include a GMC pickup, a New Holland tractor, 2 ATVs, 5 hunting blinds, 8 protein and corn feeders, professional quality skeet thrower, gun safe, and walk-in meat freezer. Current inventory includes approx 43 Whitetail Deer, 27 Blackbuck Antelope, 23 Red Deer, 9 Fallow, 1 Axis, 1 Elk, 13 Emu, turkeys & 9 critically endangered Addax. Keen management, cross fending, and predator control of this rugged and unspoiled land have created a Whitetail population any hunter would be proud to hunt. Impressive antler scores are not uncommon. Water features include 3 nice-sized ponds stocked with bass. Honey Creek, a pretty wet weather creek, runs through the property. Two troughs provide supplemental water. The nearly 300 acres of pristine and secluded landscape features primarily hardwoods including abundant mature oaks. Acres of bluebonnets and other spectacular wildflowers are a haven for hawks, owls, and songbirds. There are 3 homes on the property. The largest is a 3 bed, 2 bath main house w/metal roof, granite counters, and a 2-car carport. This house sleeps 11 thanks to a bunk room. Enjoy Dark Sky stargazing at the fire pit or watch magnificent sunrises from the covered porch and deck. The second home is a cozy guest house near the main house w/2 beds, 1 bath. It sleeps 4. There is a trailer home that could be updated to accommodate more guests. Additionally, there are three barns, hay loft, storage shed, corrals, and a chicken coop. All houses currently run off a 360 ft deep well. Water line & meter are in place although the current owners utilize the well.
