11457 Cr 187 , Cisco, TX 76437(Stephens County)

As you journey down the driveway, a historic ranch home welcomes you, serving as a reminder of the property's rich history. This residence boasts a cozy two-bedroom, one-bath layout, complete with a fully equipped, vintage kitchen and an inviting living area that is currently being used as an additional bedroom. Adjacent to the ranch house, you’ll find a weathered barn that holds a delightful secret. Upon opening its doors, an open-concept kitchen and living room invite you into a modern barndominium, offering a warm and enticing atmosphere created for gatherings and relaxation. This living space is complete with two well-appointed bedrooms and a loft that features plenty of space for two beds and a cozy couch, making it ideal for accommodating multiple guests. Both of these structures will come fully furnished and turnkey for the new owner. The numerous amenities of the Garrett Ranch are truly exceptional and highly desirable for today's ranch buyers. This property boasts stunning elevations, deep creeks, an abundance of hardwood trees, and a perfect balance of cultivated and natural land. The front portion of the ranch spans approximately 580 acres, characterized by a plateau with extensive cultivation and the majority of the ponds. Some of the fields have mesquite regrowth that can be revitalized, while others simply need mowing and plowing. Surrounding the cultivated areas are thick woods composed of mesquite and oak trees. Beyond this plateau, the property drops dramatically by seventy feet into a wildlife paradise where one can easily spend hours exploring. At the bottom of the ridge, Live Oak Creek runs along the base of the hill, eventually spilling into Big Sandy Creek on the western portion of the ranch. Big Sandy Creek meanders through the southwest area of the ranch, providing wet-weather fishing and serving as a central travel corridor for wildlife. With both creeks feeding the ranch, the Rio Grande Turkey population is thriving in quality and quantity. Along the southern boundary, there are two large hills that some might even refer to as mountains. Thirteen ponds are scattered throughout the property; some are stocked with fish, while others serve as vital water sources for livestock and wildlife. Over eight miles of roads and trails traverse through the ranch, each offering its own unique character and adventure. For its large size, the Garrett Ranch has very minimal oil and gas production. There are two gas wells and an injection well, for which the owners are willing to convey their mineral rights for a reasonable offer and will also convey all the wind rights. This offering provides the next owner with greater control and a reassuring outlook for the future.

AGENT COMMENTS: Garrett Ranch is a remarkable legacy ranch that is ready to greet the next owner, who can proudly mark their name on the front gate and, ideally, pass it on to future generations. Properties like this are becoming increasingly rare in Texas due to development, changing generations, and a growing demand for land. Garrett Ranch presents a fantastic opportunity to establish your claim on a substantial piece of land, surrounded by excellent neighbors who share the same core values. Garrett Ranch can be purchased along with all equipment, furniture, and mineral rights, making it an authentic turn-key ranch.
