Description
Overview: Pleasant Hill Ranch, a 224.47A± acre combination cattle and hunting property, is located just north of Alvord in southern Montague County near the Wise County line. Featuring rolling terrain, a mix of treed and open areas, and numerous stock tanks, the ranch offers both excellent grazing and abundant wildlife habitat. With no structural improvements, it serves as a blank canvas for the new owner to create their vision. Accessible by county road in a quiet, scenic setting, Pleasant Hill Ranch is ideal for ranching, recreation, or a private retreat.
Location and Access: Pleasant Hill Ranch is located on Mathers Road and Jim Harry Loop in southern Montague County, about one hour northwest of Fort Worth and 1.5 hours north-northwest of Dallas. Nearby towns include Sunset, Alvord, Decatur, and Denton. The ranch offers approximately 2,521 feet of all-weather caliche road frontage for convenient access.
Historical Point of Interest: Located adjacent to the property, the Pleasant Hill Cemetery and Outdoor Church is registered by the Texas Historical Commission as a historic Texas Cemetery. Established around 1850, the cemetery is central to the history of the Pleasant Hill community in Sunset, Texas—a region shaped by its pioneering spirit and the families who built it. The site also marks the heart of the community, once home to the church, school, and lodge, and remains the final resting place for many of the area's early settlers.
Terrain: The landscape of Pleasant Hill Ranch features a well-balanced mix of wooded areas (60%) and open pastures (40%). Four fenced pastures, located on the northern portion of the ranch, are set up for rotational grazing and consist of native and improved Bermuda grasses, providing high-quality forage for cattle. The ranch currently supports a carrying capacity of 25–35 animal units.
The southern half of the property is native terrain with a mix of woods, creek bottom, food plots and pastureland. Primary tree cover includes a variety of oak species, pecan, and cottonwood trees in the creek bottoms, as well as hickory, elm, cedar, and other native species. The mature timber provides excellent wildlife habitat, shade for livestock, and an ideal setting for future ranch improvements.
Topography: The land is characterized by rolling terrain with elevation changes of approximately 120 feet. The highest point of the ranch is located along the far north corner at approximately 1,060 feet, offering scenic views. From there, the land slopes down to 940 feet toward the western boundary and along Panther Creek.
Water Features: Water resources on Pleasant Hill Ranch include seven stock tanks and the seasonal Panther Creek running along the western boundary and through the southern portion of the property. The ranch sits above the Trinity Aquifer, with groundwater depths ranging from 160 to 280 feet based on nearby wells. These abundant water features provide reliable sources for livestock while also creating excellent opportunities for fishing. Additionally, there is a potential lake site where the dam washed out years ago. With some repairs, it could be a nice little lake. The property currently has no water wells.
Wildlife: Wildlife populations on the ranch are healthy, and hunting is excellent due to light hunting pressure. Pleasant Hill Ranch supports a thriving native wildlife, including whitetail deer, Rio Grande turkey, hogs, and dove. Select areas could be cultivated as wildlife food plots to further enhance habitat and support the deer herd.
Fences and Trails: The property is fully fenced with internal cross-fencing, all in fair to good condition and suitable for cattle. New gates have been added at key intersections for better access. A graveled entry road and recently cleared trails wind through the property, connecting key areas of interest.
Improvements: Other than fencing, there are no structural improvements.
Leases: A grazing lease is currently in place but can be terminated upon a sale if desired.
Easements: A pipeline easement runs along Jim Harry Loop near the northwest fence line. A feeder line follows a cross fence through the center of the property, doubling as a good north-south trail.
Minerals: No active oil or gas production and owner will convey any minerals owned with no warranties regarding mineral ownership.
Utilities: Electricity is available through Wise Electric Coop.
School District: Bowie Independent School District
Taxes: 2024 Property taxes were approximately $223.74 with an ag exemption in place.
Price: $2,188,583 ($9750/ acre)

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a former member of this school, I can attest to the severe lack of quality education. In three years, I was challenged in only two classes. The administration is lazy and inept as leaders. The sole reason I have been prepared for college is that I attended a successful 4A high school my freshman year. The students have been conditioned to be spoon fed, and the parents in the community are uncomfortably power hungry within the school system. I've witnessed firsthand the maltreatment of staff and students, alike. If at possible, do not allow your children to suffer in this educational system. It is a waste of tax dollars in a town with no hope.Student Review15y ago - Bowie Junior High School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe Principal and teachers care. They are by no means perfect but they pour into the students. My daughter is thriving in the school. There is the typical small school cliques, but that is human nature and affords my daughter the opportunity to grow and learn to be inclusive of the different social groups.Parent Review2y ago - Bowie Intermediate School
