The Veldman Ranch is a true Texas legacy property that has all the right ingredients – close to Dallas-Fort Worth, abundant water and great views. Just an easy, hour drive south on Interstate 45 lies the main gate of this 3,146-acre authentic working ranch.
Located at 9861 NW County Road 1260 in Navarro County, this property has native and improved grasses that support 500 to 850 head of cattle. It is perfect for a registered herd. The owner, a true steward of the land, has planted more than 1,500 trees alongside excellent mesh-barbed wire fences.
The ranch near the quaint, historic town of Corsicana is being offered by Jim Strawn of Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty for $9,438,000.
“This legacy ranch is ideal for living the Texas cowboy lifestyle,” Strawn said.
It is crossed-fenced with 65 pastures for cattle rotation and maximum productivity. Two large conservation lakes, three smaller lakes and an additional 60 tanks, provide abundant livestock water. The ranch is also served by a six-mile, 4-inch water line. Two miles of frontage on Chambers Creek provide wildlife habitat and productive bottom land for hay production or grazing.
The well-designed, 3,700-square-foot limestone home is large enough to accommodate family and friends with five bedrooms and four baths. It has great views, set among mature trees. There is also a manager’s home and a fishing lodge with a great deck that overlooks a lake.
For operations, there are working pens, a horse stable and a tack room, two hay barns and an equipment shed.
Abundant wildlife populates the ranch, including doves, ducks and red stag deer. Fifty acres are high-fenced and available for raising deer. The medium soft soil and firm grasses provide horse lovers with the proper setting for pleasure riding or working cattle. The seller will convey 50 percent of owned minerals with acceptable contract.
