289 Acres in Melvin, TX - $799,000
Location. Just a mile west of the rural community of Melvin, Texas lies this feature-filled gem property. It has frontage on a very quiet County Road, yet is not far from US Highway 87.
Terrain. The terrain is varied and interesting. It includes both sides of Brady Creek, a seasonal creek with year-round stretches of water. It has some elevation, with peaceful pastoral distance views from several points. A truly unique feature is the old railroad bed that traverses the place. A few old railroad ties can be seen to this day, and a cut through a limestone hill makes a neat "canyon" with large boulders.
Improvements. A limestone rock home is in a prime location, among large oak trees and with vistas of the "Brady Mountains" to the north. It is a 3 bedroom 1 bath ranch house, just right for a family retreat. Near the house is a fairly new 40 x 30 metal barn. There are 2 mor...
Improvements. A limestone rock home is in a prime location, among large oak trees and with vistas of the "Brady Mountains" to the north. It is a 3 bedroom 1 bath ranch house, just right for a family retreat. Near the house is a fairly new 40 x 30 metal barn. There are 2 more barns on the place, and an old wooden-sided rail car for storage.
Water. This is a desirable ranch property for those who like water. The new owner will have approximately 1500 feet of Brady Creek, including both sides of the creek ! This is a live running creek at times, and generally has year round water holes. The house has city water, and a windmill pumps water from a well into a stock pond. There are 3 stock ponds and 3 wells. Two of the wells are not in use.
Wildlife. Two species of deer thrive here, whitetails and Axis deer ! They are both free-ranging. The Axis are larger than whitetails, and their meat is delicious. They can be hunted year round. This is also good bird hunting country, including waterfowl.
Minerals. The seller owns part of the minerals and will convey a percentage with an acceptable contract.
Comments. What an appealing ranch, well worth the time to see it.
