Property Description
HAM-BALL RANCH | 400± ACRES | WEST CENTRAL CALLAHAN COUNTY, TEXAS
A rare opportunity to own a true multi-generational Texas ranch, the Ham-Ball Ranch has been held by the same family for more than 60 years. Located in Central Western Callahan County, this 400± acre property offers an exceptional combination of productive agricultural land, wildlife habitat, water resources, and recreational potential, all within approximately 25 minutes of Abilene and two hours of Fort Worth.
The ranch is thoughtfully divided between approximately 275± acres of meticulously maintained open pasture and 125± acres of mesquite and hardwood cover. The productive pastures have historically been used for wheat production and hay and provide excellent grazing for cattle. Minimal weeds and limited young mesquite reflect years of careful stewardship. Good perimeter fencing and cross-fencing provide the infrastructure for rotational grazing and efficient cattle production.
Four tanks provide dependable water for livestock and wildlife, while numerous draws traverse the ranch and offer excellent potential for additional tanks or a larger lake. A water meter is currently in place, with additional water availability potentially through Eula Water Supply. Several hand-dug wells have historically existed on the property, offering potential for future well development.
Wildlife is abundant, with whitetail deer, turkey, quail, dove, ducks and other native species utilizing the diverse habitat. With very little hunting pressure over the years, other than feral hog management, the ranch offers an excellent foundation for a quality hunting and recreational program. Open fields also provide outstanding opportunities for wildlife food plots.
With no current oil or gas activity and no abandoned equipment, the Ham-Ball Ranch presents a clean slate for its next owner. Whether envisioned as a working cattle operation, productive farm, hunting and recreational retreat, high-fenced ranch, weekend getaway, or private homesite and family ranch, the possibilities are extensive.
Access is convenient from both FM 604 and County Road 261, providing multiple points of entry. The ranch is offered as 400± acres, with an additional 51± acres potentially available for a total of approximately 451 acres. The property may also be available as two separate 200± acre tracts.
A well-balanced Texas ranch with history, productivity, wildlife and opportunity, the Ham-Ball Ranch is ready for the next generation to make it their own.
