Heard Ranch

Description

Heard Ranch stands as the quintessential rugged hunting terrain, sprawling across 755 acres of untamed wilderness. Its expansive layout, characterized by dense woodlands and dramatic elevation changes, sets the stage for an unparalleled hunting experience. Winding ATV trails snake through thick stands of oak trees, providing access to strategically placed blinds scattered throughout the property. Heard Ranch's multiple hilltops offer prime building locations, each boasting views into the distance.

The landscape is further enriched by dense clusters of post oaks and mature mesquites, interwoven with thick underbrush. A well-maintained 37-acre grass field in the northwest corner showcases the land's potential for high-quality forage. With over 110 feet of elevation variance, the terrain features numerous draws leading to scattered ponds, hinting at even greater possibilities for surface water. Timmons Creek meaders through the northeast corner, eventually flowing into the Brazos River just over a mile away. This pristine environment supports a thriving wildlife population nurtured by the ideal habitat naturally fostered by Heard Ranch.
