Description

High Cotton Hill is 564 acres of prime farming land in northern Taylor County. The hilltop in the northwest corner sits 95 ft above the farmland with native grass, scattered mesquite and needed utilities. This "Build-site Area" overlooks two earthen tanks with views as far as the eye can see.  The majority of the property is farmland with Tillman Clay and Tobosa clay being the primary soils.  This farm is under a lease with a quality tenant willing to stay.  The southern portion of the property is currently producing cotton and has a draw that could be impounded to create an additional pond. The east side of the farm furnishes one of four water wells and a metal barn with electricity for storing farm equipment.  High Cotton Hill provides quality farmland with multiple options for the future owner.

Broker's Comments -- This property is ideal for a farming operation with good access for equipment. However, I envision building that dream home in the country with big views overlooking a new arena and horse-barn.  The deep, quality soil with lack of rocks is ideal for riding and very productive for farming. This acreage can easily be cross fenced into separate pastures with the ability to provide underground water to each.  Some clean up is needed around the old homestead site.
