Land For Sale, Ranch For Sale, Farm For Sale, Rayland, Texas

This is a productive working ranch that offers potential for further development and increased income. The property is cross-fenced across the middle for easy rotational grazing. 90.5 acres is in the CRP program until 2010, which pays the owner approximately $2900/year, and the balance of the ranch is in either improved pasture or fallow fields.

The main pasture on the south side (165 acres) has scattered bermuda grass patches, which could be harrowed to spread the grass throughout further, or the land could be disked and planted to put it back into cultivational use. The soil type is sandy, conducive to winter wheat as a dryland crop. There are two irrigation wells and multiple stations, set-up for a side roll water system. If irrigation was implemented, the farm would be great for growing alfalfa or coastal hay. The side roll irrigation could be converted to a circle pivot system.

A set of pipe working pens is located in the middle of the property, along with a large water tank, for livestock. This tank has a water line ran to it from one of the irrigation wells, so it never goes dry. The ranch has frontage on Highway 70 for easy, year around access and loading/unloading cattle. In the back pasture, hidden and very private, is a three acre, shaded grove of mature oak, elm , and soapberry trees. This grove would be an ideal location to build a home, and utilities are already ran to this spot. The terrain on the ranch is flat, and there is plenty of room to add other structures and improvements (barn, corrals, stalls, arena, etc).

The ranch is lined by a tall shelterbelt along its perimeter, which acts as a windbreak. There is some hunting on the ranch in the north CRP pasture, which has tall grasses, good bedding areas, and wild plum thickets. The primary game in this area is whitetail deer and turkey, with some quail coveys.

Asking Price: $1075/acre
