Description

Blue Grass Ranch is a postcard property situated in the rolling hills of Northeast Texas. Meticulously maintained for decades, this property features an ideal balance of pasture and timbered acres with beautiful ponds scattered throughout. The ranch’s diverse land types appeal to a wide range of uses and activities, including ranching, recreation, general stewardship, or a combination thereof. This really is an all-around ranch with multiple hilltops for homesite locations, pastures for livestock, and ample mature forests for wildlife and seclusion.

TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT: Remaining true to its positionality on the margins of the Post Oak Savannah and Piney Woods ecoregions, the ranch exhibits the favorable characteristics of both regions, exhibiting an almost park-like feel as gently rolling pastures dotted with post oaks fit like puzzle pieces into a mosaic of towering pines and hardwood trees.

There are 3 high points on the property reaching up to 380’ above sea level, these are juxtaposed by two main drainages that fall to below 320’ and feed the 4 main ponds and wetland areas while also creating travel corridors for the wildlife on the property.

The eastern section of the ranch is primarily wooded and totals nearly 90 acres. The primary tree species in these wooded areas are southern red oaks, post oaks, water oaks, cedar elm, sweetgum, and loblolly pine. These wooded acres provide important habitat for a variety of native mammals and bird species.

WILDLIFE: The Bluegrass Ranch supports an assortment of native fauna thanks to the ranch’s ample cover, water resources, and forage.

Common NE Texas species can all be found on this property, including whitetail, wild hogs, coyotes, bobcats, and an assortment of varmints. The property’s two largest ponds also attract wintering waterfowl species, including wood ducks, gadwalls, and mallards.
