About this House
The Tipton Ranch spans approximately 146 acres in the highly sought-after far northwest corner of Stephens County, Texas, nestled along the scenic Clear Fork River. This remarkable property offers a distinctive blend of features that cater to various interests. It is divided by a county road, resulting in two distinct sections.
The northern side is characterized by level terrain, cultivated land, and beautiful riverfront access, while the southern section boasts deep draws, mature trees, and a diverse range of elevations. At the heart of the ranch lies a well-sized cultivated field currently thriving with Johnson grass, which holds significant potential for transformation into a stunning display of sunflowers and winter wheat. A second field is located in the northeast corner, which, though currently showing signs of mesquite regrowth, can be revitalized according to the new owner's specifications. An old house dating back to the 1940s stands just off the river, reflecting the property's rich history. While the home may no longer be salvageable, its timber could be repurposed to create a new cabin that honors its legacy. This area is serviced with electricity and features an old water well with a windmill, enhancing its rustic charm.
The Clear Fork River defines the northern boundary of the ranch, featuring steep banks behind the home, yet providing a small shoal on the western border for convenient access to the water. This river is renowned for its fishing opportunities and offers a delightful setting for family gatherings, enhanced by abundant local wildlife, including turkeys. This landscape is adorned with majestic elm and pecan trees, contributing to one of the most picturesque vistas in the county. The Tipton Ranch's southern portion offers a contrasting allure, characterized by rugged elevations along the western boundary and bottomland fringed by a deep draw featuring large, shady live oak trees. As one approaches the southern end of the Tipton Ranch, the terrain levels off into a bull mesquite plateau, rich with dense native grasses. Although there are no existing ponds on the property, the deep draw traversing its length presents an excellent opportunity for a new owner to consider constructing a pond in this prime location. The Tipton Ranch is a unique property, making it an excellent choice for any outdoor enthusiast looking for a diverse and captivating landscape.
AGENT COMMENTS: As an enthusiastic outdoorsman from the area, I can confidently say this property is truly special for Stephens County. Management-minded landowners surround the Tipton Ranch, and the fishing along the Clear Fork is exceptional. There are a few crucial items to note: approximately 7,180 feet of new fencing needs to be constructed along the western boundary line. Additionally, while the old home may be unappealing to some, the pricing fairly reflects these considerations.
