2557 CR 358, Dublin, TX 76446 For Sale

In the Cross Timbers region of North Central Texas sits an immaculate and thoughtfully improved 185+/- Acres, located in the Irish Capital of Texas. Where water is an ever-increasing need, this ranch holds it just below the surface. A hay and cattle producing property, the Pioneers ranch holds tremendous upside for the discerning buyer as an investment in an increasingly sought after area of Texas just 20 miles West of Stephenville. Main Home: This 2 bed/1 bath home has been freshly remodeled from the top down with tasteful finishes as a true farmhouse with the quintessential wrap around porch, giving way to views of the lush pastures and ponds. One of the best features of this home is the cozy screened porch which makes the quite mornings and evenings an absolute joy to be in the country. The home is roughly 1,200sqft with over 1,000sqft of porch space and a large, enclosed dog run. There is plenty of room to add on should you decide, or plenty of space to build with structural utilities in place. There are multiple RV hook ups in place as well. Barn: The barn measures roughly 40'x 40' with two 30' x 40' lean-to's on each side. Through the large custom doors both on the front and the back, you will find a clean concrete floor with plumbing and electricity hooked up. On the second story, structural beams have been put in place along with a metal staircase to turn into extra storage or a guest dwelling. Incased next to the barn is a 40ft metal container for storage which could also be easily removed. The two large lean-to's are perfect for holding large equipment and machinery. Working Pens: Built out of all metal pipe in the last couple of years, these pens are ready for your smaller herd and equipped with nicely finished alley ways, sorting lots, a chute, and room to add on to accommodate a larger head count. The squeeze chute sits under a 18' x 24' metal pavilion with a concrete slab for a working space, water, and electricity. Solar Improvements: In supplementation with electricity already on site, 24-270 watt solar panels assist in any electrical needs from powering on the lights to running the wells. The panels are located outside on the top of the barn out of sight. A bypass switch is conveniently located inside the barn if the solar power is not wanted or needed. This improvement can cut electricity costs tremendously. Pivots: There are two low hour pivots in place covering approximately 16+/- Acres and 35+/- Acres. Water is supplied via two newly dug tanks with constant water supply from two wells operating on red line pumps. In operation, the pivots can supply well over 350 round bales of improved Costal Bermuda a year in conjunction with running a small herd on the other paddocks. Fencing: The roadside of the property has about 2,700 ft of metal pipe fence and a custom pipe and entrance gate. All done within the last 5 years. The remainder of the ranch is fenced with 6 string barbed wire with interior cross fencing all in excellent condition. Surface Water: As mentioned, there are two newly dug tanks to hold water for the pivots, totaling about 1 acre and dug fairly deep with a lining covered with 12-18 inches of clay for a tight seal. There is a small tank under an acre located near the front of the property that is set up to also be supplemented with well water. Behind the home is a 1-acre tank that is stocked with bass, catfish, blue gill, and copper nose. It also has a floating dock, fish feeder, and water supplementation via a well during drought years. Wildlife: Regularly seen are whitetail, turkey, dove, ducks, and occasionally hogs. Also in place are two deer blinds and feeders. Minerals: All minerals are believed to be owned by the seller and are negotiable. Comments: For a buyer looking for the ag production of the land and not needing a home, the seller will consider subdiving the house out of the sale.
