222 Acres in Joy, TX - $455,100
This 222 acres in southern Clay County feels like it is twice its size, with many wooded groves and broad hills! The ranch is just a few miles west of Four Corners and is accessed by a private easement going from Raymond Edwards Rd. to the property gate. The ranch is diverse and ready to hunt!
The land is rolling and broken out as such:

The ranch has three ponds on it; two of these are a half acre in size, and the third is a smaller tank. The two larger ones are located on the north side along a long draw that feeds the creek, and provide the potential to create one large reservoir, 3-5 acres in size.

Joy Creek, a seasonal waterway, winds across the land on the south side. This whole "bottom" area is filled with mature oak trees, found in lines along the creek and in groves throughout the pasture. Meadow areas here provide perfect food plot or staging areas for wildlife; we have identified four main plot areas, their acreages are 4.4, 1.6, 1.2, and 1.0 acres in size. The owner has planted winter wheat in the larger plot before and saw a field full of deer that year.
The balance of the pasture is in native range grasses and pasture brush. A dense mesquite thicket in the northeast part of the ranch provides excellent bedding areas for wildlife. Three old farm fields have been let go back to native pasture as well, but could be broken back out for crop production or additional food plots.
Whitetails in this area of Clay County can grow into the 170" class, just in native vegetation alone. The abundance of acorns, mesquite browse, and pasture forage all contribute to buck mass. Feral hog, Rio Grande turkey, wild cat, and coyote provide additional sport; bobwhite quail can been found here too. The farm fields act as good dove hunting fields, when the native sunflowers establish in the summer.
The ranch has perimeter fences and would be suitable to running cows or yearlings as well. The ranch should hold 15 cow/calf pairs annually, with minimal winter feed. There is a small set of wooden pens. A deer camp can easily be set up on the northeast side, as an electric meter is already in place.
Asking Price: $2050/acre (reduced from $2150/acre)
