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.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI was on your campus for a track meet for a relative from another city. I have NEVER been so impressed with your campus. Your stadium was very clean. Easy to move around. Enough area for the handicap. I was in a wheelchair and needed the ladies room. My partner being a male could not enter ladies room, but 2 young ladies from Your school stayed and helped me until I could get back to my partner. I was overwhelmed. They would not accept any cash for their assistance nor would they give me their names. And it just melted my heart that young people are doing that. Graham is bringing up kids up correctly. I know all have their moments. But April 14, 2022, they showed off exceptionally well. Thank You.Other Review4y ago - Graham Junior High School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school has a great principal and vice principal, but the two of them are not enough to affect change at this school. The teachers are overwhelmed with too many students. The student to teacher ratio is wrong (13:1), because it is more like 23:1. 6th graders are required to go to this school along with 7th and 8th graders, which makes for a very interesting mix of children. Half of the kids are in Full puberty, while half haven't even started to go through it. This makes the learning experience for the young 11 year olds very tough to master.Parent Review2y ago - Woodland Elementary School
