Are you looking to create the perfect ranch of your dreams? You’re in luck, because a stretching, 1,423-acre property of prime Texas real estate is available for $3.2 million just outside Mount Vernon, TX.
With no structures on site other than an owner-run cattle operation, Daphne Prairie is the ideal blank slate to develop the ranch property that best fits your lifestyle.
If you are looking to design and construct a ranch house, the sky’s the limit on what you can create here. If you’re a hunter, there are endless opportunities on this property for the sport from whitetail deer in the 450-acre stretch of forest to waterfowl in the 14 ponds.
The wide open spaces provide the perfect backdrop for other recreational activities, like riding four-wheelers for uninterrupted miles or paddling out on the ponds. There are plenty of all-weather, gravel roads stretching across the ranch, providing easy access to all the adventures the land has to offer.
The rolling plains of this extensive property offer a tranquil escape from the bustle of city life, but it’s still easily accessible. It’s an easy two hour drive from the Dallas area and neighbor to the amenities of town in Mount Vernon.
The cow/calf operation on property is a great opportunity to invest in a steady stream of income. The ranch currently runs 275 cow/calf pairs and is outfitted with corrals capable of processing 400+ head. You could take over the operation yourself from the current owner or hire a third party to take care of business.
Other opportunities for income from this property are various. The forest’s 450 acres of hardwood timber could potentially be harvested and monetized. The property’s soil is Texas’ best, ranging from class 2 and 3 grade. This soil is ideal for growing top-notch grass for the cattle operation, but also is good enough to be farmed in other ways.
Clayton Pilgrim, ALC land specialist, said that the minimal improvements and vast acreage make this property stand out.
“This much acreage, this close to Dallas and its minimal improvements make this property stand out,” Pilgrim said. “It doesn’t have big houses and arenas that you have to pay taxes on. The cost of ownership is one the lowest out there.”
