Recreational Land with Home for Sale in Gatesville, Texas

Welcome home! This diverse high fenced ranch has something for everyone. Steady flowing Cowhouse Creek makes up the SW boundary of the property and is an incredible place for summertime recreation. The spring fed pond stocked with bass, bluegill, and catfish is perfect for fishing, swimming. kayaking, or having a picnic under the trees overlooking it. Riding around the property in your side by side allows you to observe the wildlife consisting of whitetail, axis, blackbuck and turkey. If just relaxing is the goal you can sit on the back porch and enjoy the prevailing SE breeze while looking out over the Cowhouse Creek valley and the hills beyond. Near the main house is a guest house and the cabin sits beside one of the Cowhouse's wet weather feeder creeks. The cabin has been used as a short term rental with VRBO and Airbnb. Another great feature of this property is that it is off grid with the ability to switch back to the grid if desired. The off grid system consists of a set of solar panels that power the house, guest house, the well and RO system that provide water to the improvements. Credits accrue for electricity produced and not used! Adjacent to the off grid infrastructure sets a 30x40 shop with roll up doors on each end. The plateau consists of cedar breaks and oak motts that provide cover for the wildlife. Descending toward the creek is the fertile riparian area where there is a 14+/- acre high fenced field planted in oats and milo. Native pecan trees can also be found near the creek. This is a great place to make memories with family and friends!
