That Clear Fork of the Brazos property is finally available, so don't wait too long to pull the trigger. This property can be income producing while enjoying the benefits of country living and the area wildlife. The property is mostly cultivation, but with over 40 acres of native pasture, stock tank, and river frontage you can bet that this place will hunt. Don't wait
At approximately 168 acres, this property is unlike others its size because this one runs deep. By being a little longer it allows the cover to be further off the road and puts you a good distance from any traffic while you enjoy the benefits of the river frontage and the wildlife that traverse that way.
The cover along the river is mature bull mesquites and Hackberry. The pocket of trees is very nice and the canopy hovers over the road along the river. There is a nice meadow in that area of the property. The center portion of native pasture is open around the old windmill and stock tank. As you get into the trees the Hackberrys and other trees grow closer and closer together. This area is a nice habitat for wildlife.
Checking the boxes on two water sources in West Texas is pretty special but checking four boxes is almost unheard of. This property has a the ability to add a meter with SUN Water Supply. It also has two old irrigation wells, one old windmill, and a hand dug well; none of the wells have been tested. Not done, it has a nice large stock tank and it has over 0.4 of a mile of the Clear Fork of the Brazos. That's hard to beat!
Its hard to think that Noodle deer aren't on or near a property just 4 miles from Noodle. The property does have Whitetail deer, feral hogs, dove and much more. The area is know to have Rio Grande turkeys as well. The surface of the stock tank is big enough to attract water fowl as well. Needless to say, this place will hunt.
