Heard Ranch

Heard Ranch stands as the quintessential rugged hunting terrain, sprawling across 755 acres of untamed wilderness. Its expansive layout, characterized by dense woodlands and dramatic elevation changes, sets the stage for an unparalleled hunting experience. Winding ATV trails snake through thick stands of oak trees, providing access to strategically placed blinds scattered throughout the property. Heard Ranch's multiple hilltops offer prime building locations, each boasting views into the distance. The landscape is further enriched by dense clusters of post oaks and mature mesquites, interwoven with thick underbrush. A well-maintained 37-acre grass field in the northwest corner showcases the land's potential for high-quality forage. With over 110 feet of elevation variance, the terrain features numerous draws leading to scattered ponds, hinting at even greater possibilities for surface water. Timmons Creek meaders through the northeast corner, eventually flowing into the Brazos River just over a mile away. This pristine environment supports a thriving wildlife population nurtured by the ideal habitat naturally fostered by Heard Ranch. -- WATER, TERRAIN & COVER -- • Surface Water ~ 6 tanks/ponds, 1/2ac-3/4ac, potential for more • Creek Frontage ~ 1,700ft of Timmons Creek in NE corner; wet-weather • Elevation ~ 110ft, dramatic to heavily rolling; multiple highpoints and draws • Tree Cover ~ 95% native pasture; live oak, post oak, mesquite, hackberry, elm • Underbrush ~ 95% heavy brush; elbowbush, skunkbush, bumelia, prickly-pear, ephedra • Improved Grass ~ 37-acre grass field in NW corner, switchgrass -- HUNTING & RECREATION -- • Wildlife ~ whitetail deer, dove, duck, Rio-Grande turkey, hog, varmint • Habitat ~ heavy post oak coverage, heavy underbrush, deep draws • Hunting ~ currently leased thru 23-24 seasons, multiple groups willing to stay • Fishing ~ minimal, ponds capable of stocking, surface water potential • Food Plots ~ 37 acres of switchgrass with small food plot near pond • Neighbors ~ N&W-10,000+ac, S-high-fenced commercial hunting, SE-seller -- IMPROVEMENTS & STRUCTURES -- • Pipe Pens ~ near road frontage, good condition • Fencing ~ mostly low-fence, good to poor, SE Highfenced-9,120ft • Water Available ~ Fort Belknap water-line along the road & neighbor • Roads ~ ATV trails accessing hilltops, valleys, and blinds -- MINERALS & WIND -- • Mineral Rights ~ some minerals owned; negotiable • O&G Production ~ 5 active wells; 2 active tank batteries, 3 old tank batteries • Gas Compressor Station ~ retained by seller and surveyed out of acreage • Wind Rights ~ 100% owned and conveys • Wind Production ~ Young Wind Project on W neighbor -- ACCESS & DISTANCES -- • Road Frontage ~ 2,000+ft of Miller Bend Rd-rocked; 2 mi N of FM 209-paved • Nearby Towns ~ 13 mi W of Graham, 7.6 mi SW of Newcastle • Major Cities ~ 63 mi SSW of Wichita Falls, 110 mi WNW of Fort Worth • Airports ~ 15 mi W of Graham Muni, 69 mi to Wichita Falls Reg'l, 130 mi W of DFW Int'l • Easements ~ electric, oil & gas; add'l access easement available-Ask Broker Broker Comments ~ Riding through the thick wooded hillsides creates a unique feeling of “I wonder what's around the next corner?” This kind of elevation and ruggedness creates the feel of riding around 1,500 acres. The large wide-open neighbors to the north and the partial high-fence to the south creates the perfect setup to pattern the animals moving in and out of the thick post oak country. ~ Boone C. 940-282-5500
