The River Run Ranch
202 +/- Acres
Hardeman/Foard Counties, TX
The River Run Ranch is a unique find for its size! It's a hard task to find a property in NW Texas of similar acreage that has frontage on a main, livewater river, and near impossible to find one that has a river going through the middle of it, like this one!
The Pease River winds right through the center of this ranch, offering the owner approximately 1/2 mile of frontage on both its north and south banks. Don't be misled, though; this isn't just bottom land, acreeded acres with no guaranteed title. The whole 202 acres of the River Run Ranch has been surveyed, and its borders are set in stone.
This property sits off of Hwy 6 at the county bridge, so there is year around access to it. The ranch is surrounded by good neighbors, such as the 1900 acre Copper Breaks State Park on its north side. Copper Breaks is a low-fence...
This property sits off of Hwy 6 at the county bridge, so there is year around access to it. The ranch is surrounded by good neighbors, such as the 1900 acre Copper Breaks State Park on its north side. Copper Breaks is a low-fence wildlife reserve and is not hunted, so the wildlife grow abundantly in and around it. Other properties around the ranch range from 320 to 2500 acres in size.
This tract has good elevation change, and there are two tall plateau bluffs on the north side. The tallest one lies in the middle of the ranch and offers awesome views of the whole property and surrounding landscape. The view stretches for miles from this spot, across the rocky hills of the region.
The terrain and vegetation is very diverse. In the northeast corner, there are 30 acres of "high" ground, consisting mainly of mature cedars. The whole north side is filled with creek washes and gulleys, which channel rainwater coming from the canyons and ravines of Copper Breaks down to the Pease River. Before the drop-off to the river bottom, there are a couple of marshy areas where water settles; these natural marshes offer good potential for developing stock tanks.
The ridge before the drop-off is lined with chinaberry groves and is absolutely beautiful in the fall when the leaves start turning gold and red. There are thick hackberry trees along this line too, as well as plum thickets and other native brush.
The river bottom is a sandy area, with salt cedars and tall grasses. South of the Pease River is a wide mesquite flat, ideal for putting up deer blinds. A neighboring property to the southwest has a small wheat field, and deer consistently travel back and forth across the mesquite pasture while going from the river to the field to graze.
The River Run Ranch has not been hunted in several years and is loaded with game! The ranch will carry whitetail and mule deer, wild hog, and bobcat. The river is flyway for migrating birds, and as such, provides great dove hunting too. Electricity and rural water are available at the road, making this ranch a great place to build a weekend cabin or house.
