Description

The Refuge is 317 plus acres located in southeastern Stephens County, Texas. This ranch was built from scratch with hunting, trail riding, and entertainment in mind. Along the east side of the ranch, the land is flat, with some old cultivation that has reverted to native mesquite regrowth alongside thick post and live oak trees. Over the years, the owner has sprayed the cactus to keep it from spreading into this area. About a half a mile into the property, the land shifts into a nature enthusiast refuge. Driving down off the hill's ridge, over seven miles of road and trails have been carved through the rugged landscape, making all the points of interest established throughout the ranch enjoyable and accessible. Four ponds are essential water sources for wildlife and are located along the extensive trail system. One pond has maintained a constant water level for as long as the current owner has owned the property, suggesting it may be spring-fed. Another pond at the southern end of the ranch has recently been cleaned out and is 16 feet deep when full. In addition to the water, two food plots have been established to provide a variety of vegetation.

 

As you enter The Refuge, a well-maintained gravel road guides you along the mesa, leading to a custom-designed luxury cabin perfectly positioned to take in the breathtaking sunsets. At ground level, the first floor is an open space ideal for storage and entertaining, with potential to expand the living areas in the future. This space also serves as a garage for the ranch ATVs, protecting them from the weather. Upstairs, you will discover elegant living quarters equipped with all the essentials for above-average ranch living, complemented by stunning views from the western windows and the front porch. Bathed in natural light, the cabin features light-colored walls that enhance the spaciousness created by the large windows. The modern kitchen is a chef's delight, featuring lovely granite countertops, a spacious farmhouse sink, and modern appliances. Along the southern wall, you'll find spacious custom bunk beds designed comfortably for adults. A centrally located fireplace serves as a focal point in the living area, adding warmth and character. Just off this space is a full bathroom equipped with a luxurious shower and spacious countertops.

 

From the porch, you'll find multiple deer feeders strategically placed for wildlife observation, alongside several shooting targets ranging from 200 to 400 yards. This cabin embodies the ideal balance of low maintenance and modern convenience, ensuring your stay feels like a true home away from home. A water well conveniently located along the main road supplies fresh water to the living quarters. The owners have invested their heart and soul into creating this paradise and are excited to pass it on to a new owner, inviting them to craft their own cherished memories in this special place.

 

 AGENT COMMENTS:  The Refuge is a complete package deal that provides everything an outdoorsman desires.

Additionally, with an acceptable offer, they will also convey the tractor and all the equipment.
