Located just two hours northeast of Dallas, and close to Mount Pleasant, this amazing ranch sits between the Sulphur River basin and the Red River basin and is home to the Darkhorse Cattle Company. This sprawling 6,245 acres +/-  property in NE Texas provides a unique opportunity to own both a hunting and profitable cattle ranch along with an income producing hay and timber harvest. Sulphur River Ranch boasts 1,100 head of high-end genetic Brahman, Brangus, and Braford cattle, and while the property is not currently hunted, has trophy quality whitetail deer, turkey, ducks, geese, dove, and hogs. Sulphur River Ranch is one of the largest contiguous tracts in Northeast Texas and consist of 4,650 acres of cattle pasture and grazing with 350 acres being under irrigation pivot, 1,600 acres of hardwood timber, 25- acre Florida Bass fishing lake, a 17- acre lake, 12 lakes ranging from 2-7 acres, and over 35 additional pasture tanks and ponds. Three creeks also meander through the ranch allowing for ample year-round water sources. A 2500 ft private airstrip on the north side of the property allows for easy travel to and from the ranch. 50% of all owned Oil & Gas and other Minerals will convey to buyer.

 

Hunting-Fishing-Wildlife Habitat

Located just north of the Sulphur River Bottoms, a known wildlife mecca, Sulphur River Ranch is a sportsman’s paradise.  While not currently hunted, the area has trophy genetics and the ranch has become a sanctuary for big bucks, consistently producing very high-quality whitetail deer.  In addition, there are turkey, hogs, and some of the finest duck hunting lakes and wetlands in Texas. The Sulphur River flyway continues to winter a high concentration of Mallards, and during the rainy months of winter the ranch can provide flooded green timber hunting that rivals Arkansas. Many species of waterfowl winter on the lakes and ponds throughout the ranch. Furthermore, the various lakes and ponds on the property are filled with, but not limited to, Bass, Catfish, Crappie and Brim.
