431.73 Acres 199, Joplin, Texas

Description

Welcome to the breathtaking 431-acre Holden Ranch, a property that captures the essence of Texas ranchland with sweeping vistas in every direction. This ranch offers incredible diversity with mature hardwoods, dramatic elevation changes along a ridge running north to south, fertile bottomland, and a live creek on the west boundary. Whether you are seeking a recreational retreat, working ranch, or long-term investment, Holden Ranch delivers it all.

The property is improved with electricity throughout most of the acreage and a water well near the deer camp on the north side. Water resources are exceptional with six large stock tanks—three in the north and three more in the east and south pastures—providing ample water for cattle, wildlife, and overall land management. The ranch also sits above a productive aquifer, a natural underground reservoir that offers reliable, sustainable water. Beyond supporting ranching and recreational use, the aquifer adds investment value, as companies often lease water rights for municipal, industrial, or ag purposes. This creates an opportunity for an additional revenue stream while preserving the property’s ag and recreational uses.

Large neighboring ranches to the west and east enhance seclusion, ensuring peace and privacy, while careful stewardship has cultivated abundant wildlife and excellent hunting. The property is Ag Exempt and located less than an hour from Fort Worth, offering both convenience and seclusion. Additional features include two access easements—one serving a small gas plant on the southern boundary and another from an adjoining landowner to the east—plus two pipeline easements on the south and east sides. Minerals are surface only, and mineral rights do not convey; one producing well on site.

This extraordinary ranch combines natural beauty, privacy, and utility with long-term income potential, making it a rare opportunity for ranching, recreation, or investment.

Directions: From Fort Worth, take Hwy 199 northwest roughly 43 miles and turn west (left) onto the access road (recorded easement). Once on the access road go 1 mile into the property.
