Situated on 711 +/- acres of prolific land, Deerfield Ranch provides secluded tranquility within high fenced borders that include everything from the productive Sabine River bottoms to the dynamic elevated views into the neighboring Burleson Wetlands, which provide a natural buffer running along the entire northern boundary. The structural improvements have all been designed, cared for or remodeled with the eye of an architect, and are in excellent condition. The physical enhancements to the land are well thought out and contribute to both the functionality and beauty of the ranch. This property truly offers something for every ranch seeker at a very affordable price this close to multiple rapidly growing cities. Deerfield Ranch is being offered turnkey with a significant number of furnishings, equipment, vehicles and an experienced ranch manager already in place.
The property is located three miles south of Mineola, TX and approximately 84 miles east of downtown Dallas, TX on the edge of the Piney Woods within Smith County. The ranch sits just south of the Sabine River near the border of Smith and Wood Counties.
The ranch offers a variety of mixed use habitat within the South Central Plains Ecoregion. Numerous pastures have been cleared for grazing / hunting purposes and to open up the land in various areas. Improved grasses have been introduced in multiple areas and flourish in the fruitful soil. Native grasses are prevalent throughout the wooded areas, which include majestic mature hardwoods and scattered pine trees. Extensive improvements have been made to the environment around the residences and in other areas of the ranch. The soils primarily consist of fine sandy loam with some clay near the river and creek bottoms. The main body of the ranch has approximately 130' +/- elevation changes, which is well above average for this geographical area. The property also encompasses a variety of cleared pasture, rolling topography changes and indigenous wooded areas.
The property is currently a very productive cattle ranch operation and can support approximately 200 momma cows. Permanent and mobile cross fencing is in place with established lanes to easily rotate cattle and utilize intense grazing methods. Water is plentiful via stock tanks, irrigation, creeks or lakes. Improved grasses are mostly comprised of Coastal Bermuda, Common Bermuda and Bahia. In recent years the cattle were supplied to Whole Foods Market's beef program but are not currently enrolled.
*Livestock is not included in the list price.
Deerfield Ranch has an abundance of wildlife and opportunities for any sportsman. Whether your passion involves angling or the pursuit of deer, dove, turkey, hogs, predators or varmints, you will find no shortage here. The entire ranch is secured with high fencing and has been responsibly managed under Texas Parks and Wildlife's Managed Lands Deer Program.
