Property Description

Located in the historic farming community of Charleston, Texas, this 304-acre former dairy farm is currently being utilized as a productive cattle operation and with some cultivation. With the McGuyer Branch of the Sulphur River running through the land, there is a levy system built in the 1930s providing effective drainage and backs up to the timber thickets of the river also adding many recreational opportunities. Fenced and cross-fenced into at least six different pastures for cattle rotation, there is a gravity-flow water line carrying fresh water to the two lower pastures.

While driving up the white pipe-fenced driveway overlooking the approximately three-acre clear lake, one finds the highly-functional and immaculate open floorplan and four bedroom home built in the 1970s. It has 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, Large Living area with WBFP, and large eat-in kitchen. Complete with central heat and air, the home also features a cozy wood-burning fireplace for cold winter days, eat-in kitchen, and dining area for large family holiday gatherings.

With approximately 85% pasture areas and most pastures sprigged with Jiggs Bermudagrass, there is a total of nine ponds on the land ranging from small to the three-acre lake with fishing and kayaking seen from FM 895 and many scattered shade trees throughout. The ranch is complete with a 50x120 hay shed, barns, sheds, outbuildings, and corrals.

Close to Cooper Lake and Texas A&M Commerce, this ranch is private and secluded, peaceful and quiet, yet close to town and only an hour and half from Dallas. This is the opportunity to own a dream ranch in a manicured ranching community and enjoy the summer evenings under the shade trees in the backyard overlooking your own piece of history.
