5643 FM 927, Walnut Springs, TX 76690 - Bosque County

For Sale - Stunning 550 acre ranch in Bosque County, near Walnut Springs.

This high-fence ranch has both sides of Steele Creek and both sides of Russell Creek, 4 ponds, a barndominium, and a constantly flowing Artesian spring. The terrain includes rock bottom creek crossings lined with very tall trees, huge elevation changes, Rattlesnake Peak, heavy woods, and grassy areas for grazing.

The barndominium building is about 9000 feet under roof with about 1900' of living area, 2400' of shop, a long porch across the front of the building, and nearly 4000' of carport/equipment storage area. The living area contains a large great room, dining room, two baths, and one bedroom. Plenty of room to entertain. There is also a separate equipment barn. Water is supplied by a private well. Property has a brand new septic system.

Historical records on the Artesian spring indicate the existing rock wall was part of the spring house built in 1861 by Dr. Russell, the first postmaster in the Walnut Springs area. The water bubbles up from the ground, and the current owner has built rock pathways for the water to flow unimpeded to a pond below the original home site. The original 1860 log cabin still stands.

Good water in both creeks, plus the ponds provide water for cattle, red deer, lots of turkeys, and other wildlife. One pond is about 16' deep. The big pond on the back side of the property is over an acre, approximately 20' deep and both ponds are stocked with fish.

The exotics on the ranch convey with the sale, and the cattle are negotiable.
