Crow Valley Ranch

Crow Valley Ranch encompasses approximately 150 acres in the far northeastern corner of Stephens County, just minutes from Possum Kingdom Lake and the Possum Hollow boat ramp. From its entrance on FM 1148, the ranch road gently descends toward a manicured, level ridge offering several potential building sites with sweeping views.

The ranch headquarters features a spacious shop with ample room for equipment storage, projects, or casual gatherings. A rainwater collection system serves as the property’s primary water source. From this elevated setting, the ranch offers impressive views to the east, south, and west.

Just below the ridge is a carefully established food plot accompanied by a newly constructed pond that attracts and supports local wildlife. The owners have strategically cleared portions of the pasture, creating clear sightlines from the headquarters area to multiple feeders. This thoughtful layout provides excellent wildlife-viewing opportunities throughout the day.

A well-maintained trail system winds through the ranch’s rugged and varied terrain, offering convenient vehicle access to hunting areas, ponds, and other water features. Each established hunting location includes a deer blind, corn feeder, and food plot. Additional off-road trails invite exploration and provide an enjoyable way to experience the property’s natural character.

Crow Valley Ranch includes three ponds and several natural draws that carry runoff from the surrounding elevations. Along the southern boundary, elevated hilltops offer especially impressive views across the ranch and toward Possum Kingdom Lake, ideal spots to relax, enjoy the scenery, and take in the property's quiet beauty.

Although some sections of the boundary fencing are in poor condition or nonexistent, fencing has been a lower priority given the ranch’s primary focus on wildlife habitat rather than livestock use. Since 2023, Crow Valley Ranch has been managed under a dedicated wildlife-management program with guidance from a biologist. The result is a thoughtfully managed recreational property offering hunting, wildlife viewing, scenic privacy, and easy access to Possum Kingdom Lake.

AGENT COMMENTS: Crow Valley Ranch stands apart for its convenient location near Possum Kingdom Lake, distinctive terrain, and thoughtful improvements. Years of care have created a welcoming, turnkey recreational retreat, ready for its next owners to enjoy and make their own memories.
