The Barton Hollow Ranch offers a rare combination of rugged recreational country and established agricultural use. The recreational potential has gone largely untapped, leaving a property productive today and ready for an owner seeking a hunting and family retreat. More than 150 feet of elevation change rolls across the property, creating ridges, draws, and rock hillsides that give the land character and provide game habitat. Sixty to sixty-five percent of the acreage is rolling oak cover, with the balance in semi-open native grass country broken by exposed rock. Water is well represented on the Barton Hollow Ranch. A 2-acre pond anchors the main body of the property and holds bass and panfish, providing fishing right at the doorstep. Three additional smaller ponds supplement wildlife habitat and spread water across the tract. A pair of small rock bottom creeks wind through the property, their beds scattered with flint. A clean, tested water well serves the improvements and carries enough pressure to fill the 2-acre pond if needed, an advantage in North Texas. Wildlife populations are strong. The property holds whitetail deer, Rio Grande turkey, ducks, and variety of small game, with recent harvest history. The mix of oak cover, native grass openings, multiple water sources, and rugged terrain gives game everything it needs to stay all year. Access and improvements are already in place. A private gravel easement road runs from the county road through a gated entrance into the main part of property, providing reliable access in wet weather. At the edge of the main pond sits a fifth-wheel travel trailer on blocks beneath a covered pavilion, ready to use as a camp house from day 1. The fifth wheel conveys with the property. Behind it stands a metal barn with a Kubota tractor and attachments, which also convey, along with a covered carport. The main site has electric, a water well, and septic, allowing immediate use or a permanent home on established utilities.
