The Boonsville Homestead is the perfect opportunity to build your dream house on acreage within an hour drive of the DFW metroplex. The property offers all the benefits of county living with all the necessary amenities within a short drive of the ranch. It is located in the desirable area of fast-growing Wise County where development and population numbers are booming. This tract of land provides a very unique opportunity to own land surrounded by large ranches all over 1,000 acres.
LOCATION
The ranch is located in southwest Wise County on County Road 3655 between Bridgeport and Stringtown and just minutes from Boonsville. It is 25 miles north of Weatherford, and about 35 miles from either Denton or Fort Worth.
TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT
The ranch is composed largely of native pasture land with small sections of wooded area. Since 1985 there has been no use of commercial fertilizer on the ranch helping keep the land in its most natural form. The north end of the property features thick vegetation which makes for great wildlife bedding grounds.
WILDLIFE
There is an abundance of deer and turkeys found on this ranch with little to no hunting pressure on the property. Each year, multiple 150+ class deer are seen roaming the ranch in the early hours of the morning and last light in the evening. This is largely due to the fact that the ranch is surrounded by significantly larger ranches who follow strict deer management programs.
Feral hogs, coyotes and bobcats are also found on the ranch but due to management efforts the numbers have decreased significantly. With the ranchs proximity to Lake Bridgeport, the waterfowl hunting remains strong each year. The most common ducks found on the property are gadwall, widgeon, teal, pintail, mallards, and ring necks. The dove hunting is good, with consistent birds each year.
