About this House
Houk Ranch encompasses 228 acres of productive hunting and grazing land located just five miles west of Loving, Texas. Long operated as a working cattle ranch; the property offers an excellent combination of native pasture, dense wildlife habitat, and functional ranch improvements.
The ranch features two ponds, one in the north pasture and one in the south, with the larger pond, approximately one-half acre in size, stocked with catfish. These water sources provide dependable water for livestock while enhancing the property's recreational appeal and supporting local wildlife. The landscape is characterized by a blend of open native grass pasture and heavily wooded mesquite cover, creating an ideal balance for both cattle production and hunting. The dense brush offers excellent habitat for native wildlife, while the open pasture provides ample grazing opportunities.
An older manufactured home is located on the property and is in need of extensive renovation or replacement. However, utilities are already in place, offering a convenient starting point for a future homesite or ranch headquarters.
Whether you're looking to expand an existing cattle operation, establish a recreational hunting retreat, or build a country home with room to work the land, Houk Ranch offers a versatile opportunity in a desirable area of Young County.
