Posted on: March 2nd, 2020 by John Dean

Unique ranch just north of Rockdale! This property is 169.17 acres and is accessed via Texas Street. This property offers varied terrain that is useful ranching or recreational uses!

This ranch is currently being used for cattle grazing. Lots of wildlife on the property, making it excellent for hunting and recreational uses. There are three ponds in place, and several areas where more could be built along wet weather creeks. This property has an old railroad right-of-way that runs north and south through the property. This railroad has not been active for many, many decades– but the gravel is still in place, making it a good, level road to access the whole tract from. This may also give a good way to divide the property further if desired. The terrain is gently rolling and varies in vegetation from scattered mesquites to post oak hardwoods. Ag exemption is in place.

Water and power run a long Texas Street. Several old buildings and a home are near the entrance, but have no value. There are two larger power lines that cross the rear of the property.
