Property Description
The OX Bull Ranch offers 383 +/- acres of scenic ranchland with a history dating back to the original OX Ranch, established around 1880. Owned by the same family for more than 80 years, the ranch remains part of the area's rich cattle ranching heritage.
Located in northeastern Cottle County, approximately 10 miles northeast of Paducah, the ranch lies along the east side of FM 104. Rolling native pastureland gives way to rugged canyons and wooded draws, with elevated ridges offering scenic views of the surrounding countryside. Approximately 65 acres are cultivated and offer potential for crop production or livestock grazing. A cross-fence and gate separate the cultivated field from the rest of the ranch.
A solar-powered water well provides water for livestock, with a small, shallow stock tank nearby. A King-Cottle Water Supply rural water main is located approximately one-half mile north along CR 327. A rural water connection may be possible, subject to availability and approval by the water supplier. Established interior roads provide access throughout the ranch.
Currently used for cattle grazing, the OX Bull Ranch also offers excellent hunting opportunities. Its natural cover and varied terrain provide favorable habitat for wildlife. Existing hunting blinds and feeders belong to the hunters and may be negotiated separately with the purchase of the ranch.
Potential utility access and an established water well provide a foundation for a future homesite or hunting lodge at OX Bull Ranch. With its manageable acreage, scenic landscape, and rich ranching heritage, this property presents an appealing opportunity to own a piece of Texas' historic Rolling Plains.
