Brown Branch View

Brown Branch View is a 151-acre property located just outside the city limits, south of Breckenridge, Texas. It features excellent access with county road frontage on two sides and paved frontage on a third side. This property showcases a diverse landscape, including mature live oaks along the ridges, scattered mesquite trees, and a variety of native grasses. There are also dramatic elevation changes that offer beautiful views to the west and south, making it ideal for future home plans. In addition, Brown Branch View is an active oil field operation. A unique advantage to this scenario is the well-maintained internal road system provided by the oil company. These roads provide all-weather access throughout the ranch, making it easy to explore, manage livestock, reach hunting areas, or simply enjoy the land without incurring the costs of developing or maintaining your own road network. The property also boasts a valuable wet-weather creek named Brown Branch, which provides a natural water source and habitat for wildlife. Along with the creek, there are two small ponds that enhance the property's surface water and overall appeal.

AGENT COMMENTS: Brown Branch View is priced with oil and gas production considerations in mind. Given its access, elevation, and close proximity to town, this ranch is ideal for someone seeking a recreational property for hunting and raising a few cattle without breaking the bank. In the southwest corner, along Brown Branch, there are approximately 18 acres in a 100-year flood zone; however, this area has minimal impact on most of the land. Please note that the current owner does not possess any mineral rights to convey.
