RT Forestburg Ranch
This 113.42 +/- acres is located in the scenic hills between Forestburg and Montague, in Montague County, Texas! It is a well improved ranch-farm property, with extensive cross fencing, cultivated fields, improved pastures and cattle working facilities. Located in the Forestburg ISD, it would make a great place to build a home as well.
The land is laid out in a fairly square block. You enter through a gated entrance off of Allen Rd, a county maintained gravel road that is only 1.5 miles from the paved FM 455. The land is mostly open country, sloping to the north where Dry Valley Creek, a seasonal waterway, runs through the property. This creek wash feeds an 18 surface acre lake on the western edge of the property; most of this lake is on the neighbor but some 980 ft of shoreline and over three surface acres of the water within this ranchs border and can be used.

The land is laid out in a fairly square block. You enter through a gated entrance off of Allen Rd, a county maintained gravel road that is only 1.5 miles from the paved FM 455. The land is mostly open country, sloping to the north where Dry Valley Creek, a seasonal waterway, runs through the property. This creek wash feeds an 18 surface acre lake on the western edge of the property; most of this lake is on the neighbor but some 980 ft of shoreline and over three surface acres of the water within this ranchs border and can be used. The lake provides great fishing opportunities, as well as duck hunting in the winter months. The perimeter fence goes around it, so you dont have to worry about cattle getting bogged down or stuck in it.
The ranch is cross fenced into seven pastures, three of which have cultivated fields totaling 29 +/- acres. These fields are currently planted in hay grazer, which the tenant uses as supplemental feed for his cattle. Two of the other pastures have primarily improved grasses, including coastal. You could utilize all the pastures for rotational grazing, or separate some for hay production. Alternately, it allows you to graze different kinds of livestock simultaneously.
Across the ranch are 15 +/- acres of oak tree groves, which break up the pastures and attract wildlife. The trees are not all in one block but are scattered throughout the whole property. The neighbors all have thick oaks, and the property feels private because of it. There is hunting here for whitetail deer, turkey and feral hog.
In addition to the lake mentioned above, ten other ponds provide surface water on all ends of the ranch. The pond by the headquarters is around a half acre large; the others are all smaller catch ponds in the corners of fields and pastures. They provide adequate water for both livestock and wildlife on the property.
In the middle of the ranch is a fenced off headquarters with a 20 ft x 20 ft metal barn with concrete floor. This barn has electricity next to it and would be perfect to round out as living quarters or to use as a small cabin. A water well is at the headquarters too that is operated with an electric sump pump and could be used for water to the barn. Presently, it has a roll up door and is perfect for parking a UTV. A small storage building is next to the barn. A set of pipe working pens, fenced off hay storage lot and additional older barn are here too.
LIST PRICE: $5,750/acre | $652,165
