    Description

    Ready to hunt! This versatile property out in historic Mulberry Canyon can be your next recreational tract, build location, or your next investment to subdivide. While nearby historical markers will explain the history and significance of the area, it is not long into the property that you are actually walking amongst that history. Comanche tribes have left shards behind from their arrowhead making, and a few arrowheads too. Mostly found around the headwaters to Nubia Creek, the signs are everywhere. More history stands up tall as you enter the gate and see the unique windmill tower, an innovative design created and patented by Mr Butman in the early 1960s; that might be the original. Mesquite, hackberry, Willow, and juniper trees are across the property as are oak trees; this property has a few that are easily over a century in age and massive. The property has four stock tanks and one water well. Whitetail deer, feral hogs, quail, dove, turkeys and more, this property is a MUST SEE!
    FM 126, Merkel, TX 79536 is a lot/land. It last sold for the $438,000 asking price on Nov 5, 2024. It is currently off market.
