Size: 1,463 acres ~ Diamond D
Whitetail Ranch and Breeding Facility
Location: In northern
Runnels County, just 30 minutes south of Abilene, Texas
Terrain: The entire
property is very scenic and has the feel of being remote
even though you are only 25 miles from Abilene, TX. With
elevation changes approaching 500 feet, and being the
highest point in Runnels County provides for breathtaking
views of the surrounding countryside. The habitat consists
of a mix of cedars and mesquite with shinery and live oak
trees scattered throughout. The vegetation has natural
spatial openings that provide good grass cover.
Water: There is a 14 acre
and 32 acre lake, with the 32 acre lake being one of the best private
fisheries in the state. This lake has produced a number
of bass over 10 pounds, and being a fairly new lake, the
fishery has not yet reached its full potential.
Wildlife:
The entire
high fenced area currently has whitetail deer previously
on the property and also some genetically improved deer
from the breeding facility. The ranch is divided
into 6 different herd fence pastures. The owner has
released over 150 bucks in the last 2 years in these
pastures. Some bucks now will score over 200" B&C. The
largest buck taken in the last 2 years scored 208" B&C.
The ranch is currently under the Texas Parks and Wildlife MLD program as a Level III ranch.
Wild turkeys are abundant on the ranch with birds roosting
in live oaks near the house part of the year. Bobwhite
quail, dove, and waterfowl are seen regularly on the
property.
Improvements: The 1,463
acre portion of the Diamond D
Whitetail Ranch has 2 main homes. The first home was built
in 1999 with 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, kitchen, and den. This
currently is the Ranch Manager’s house. The main, owner's
house, was built in 2001 and is an Austin Stone 4 bedroom,
2 bath, with den, media room, and kitchen. It has a patio
and hot tub overlooking one of the most beautiful views in
Texas.
A good road system is intact to the house and throughout
the property. With the abundance of rock in the upland
areas and climate being arid, the property is accessible
all year long. The .7 mile road to the top of the
mountain and main house is concrete, with an irrigation
system and landscape lighting.
The ranch has 7.5 miles of 2” water lines encompassing the
property. It is served by both North Runnels County Water
District and Coleman County Water District. In addition,
the Lake Ivie to Abilene 30” waterline travels along the
county road inside of the property. There are three 2”
taps and access to the water for livestock watering.
Breeding Facility: The
breeding facility located on the Diamond D Whitetail Ranch
is one of the largest in the state of Texas. There are 87
breeding pens encompassing nearly 150 acres, with each
having fresh water piped into them. Each of these pens
has lanes leading to the state of the art working
facility.
Minerals: The owner has
leasing rights to 2 oil wells. Any mineral rights that
the owner currently has will go with the property. Other
than the 2 wells owned by the current owner, there is no
other production on the ranch. All wind rights will also
convey with the property.
Remarks: This portion
of the Diamond D Whitetail Ranch has approximately
$4,000,000 in depreciable assets including 250 whitetails
in the breeding facility.
Price: $5,950,000
