Location: The Buckle L Ranch is situated in Childress and Cottle Counties, Texas. The ranch mailing address is the town of Childress, which is about 10 miles north of the ranch main gate. The ranch fronts on US Hwy 83. Childress is about 100 miles from Amarillo, Lubbock 138, Wichita Falls 107, Dallas 240, Fort Worth 220, and Oklahoma City is approximately 200 miles. Besides an entrance on US Hwy 83, the Buckle L also has two additional entrances on the north property line from county roads, being the Buckle L Road and County Road 15.
Water: Awesome water! The ranch has over 23 miles of both sides of the clear running North Pease River. In addition there are over 35 miles of creeks, with 9 being named creeks with four of these being live water fed by natural springs. These are Scatterbranch Creek, Shores Creek, Shadow Creek, and Flat Top Creek. The other five are nice wet weather creeks. The springs emanate from gently sloping hillsides, and carve flow paths thru good soils and rock outcrops before emptying in the North Pease River. Many of the lakes are home to very good largemouth bass, catfish and perch. Deeper areas of the river hold bass and perch. Shore Creek has a beautiful natural rock waterfall. 40 good surface tanks that hold water. Additional 10 plus which are seasonal. The Red River Water Authority supplies community water throughout portions of the property including the owner home and separate foreman home, barns, community pens, and seventeen water troughs. 12 water wells. 23 water troughs and miles of buried water lines. The opportunities to further develop the already spectacular water resource is apparent as you tour the ranch.
Improvements: The ranch is low fenced on the perimeter with some 42.6 +/- miles of fence, the interior pastures include 35 .6 +/- miles of cross fencing. Most are in good to very good condition. Two grass runways, one near the main home and one on the eastern end of the ranch. Approximately 112 +/- miles of well maintained ranch roads.
Homes: Owner home featuring a nice metal roof, 3 bedrooms and 2 baths completely updated, with a large open floor plan containing the kitchen, living room, dining room, fireplace and a covered front porch. Managers home is across Hwy 83 on a ten acre parcel. It is also a 3 bedroom 2 bath home. Both homes have large attached garages. Cattle Capabilities: Seven sets of working pens distributed throughout much of the ranch. Five of these are full "working pens" with water and electricity. Several traps help in gathering the cattle. The main pens have scales, hydraulic chutes, loading chutes, covered working areas, and a medicine room. Full shop, plans in place to add quarters. Land: The ranch is comprised of numerous types of terrain, from rolling plains with excellent ground cover of native grasses and lightly scattered brush to hills and canyons with a little heavier juniper, mesquite and brush cover. Along both sides of the North Pease River, the soil is rich and the terrain generally flat. The flats comprised of primarily mesquite and various brush types. Predominant soils are gray, black, sandy and loam soils. There are over 400 acres of cultivated land within the Buckle L, with literally thousands of acres along the river which could be turned into additional wheat fields and food plots. There are 23 or more food plots. The ranch has superb wildlife habitat, with forbes that might include, Sensitive Briar, Common Sunflower, Globe Mallow, Gay Feather, Illinois Bundle Flower, Indian Blanket, Milk Vetch and Rushpea. Grasses on the ranch may include Buffalo, Tabosa, Plains Bristle, Side Oats Gramma, Blue Gramma, Little Blue Stem, Sand Blue Stem, Rescue, Cheat, Silver, Nightshade, Sand Dropseed, Mormon's Tea, Burro, Fall Witchgrass, Hooded Windmill, Johnson, And Western Wheat. Wildlife:
The Buckle L is home to a wide variety of native game, including trophy whitetail and mule deer, bobwhite quail, turkey, dove, ducks, geese, hogs, bobcat, and aoudad sheep. Great fishing in many of the 40 lakes on the ranch. Encompassing some 58 square miles, the Buckle L offers a true sanctuary for growing huge native deer. The owner has rested the ranch and there has been very limited to no grazing over the past 2 1/2 years. With all the food plots and the feeding program, the wildlife stays in fantastic condition. The best whitetail to date is 193 typical with mule deer in the 160"s up to 180 B & C so far. The water on the Buckle L is just hard to describe and needs to be seen in person to understand why this ranch attracts and holds such good numbers of quality deer. There are many areas where hunting quail with bird dogs is as good as anywhere in the rolling plains. The many tanks attract lots of waterfowl of all types. Climate: Great farming and ranching with a growing season of 217 days a year. Temperatures are moderate with an average annual temperature of 61.5 degrees and the average rainfall for the year being 23.59 inches.
Minerals: No minerals owned. Held by previous ownership with most divisions appearing to be transferred in the 1920's. New owner may have the potential to purchase minerals under the ranch from unrelated third parties. Additional information upon request.
Financial: The Buckle L Ranch is being offered at $895.00 acre / $33,315,480 The seller will consider dividing the ranch with prices starting at $975.00 acre. There are a number of ways to accomplish the desired acreage while also retaining separate access, possible both sides of the river and live water creeks. Please call broker to discuss. The conveyance will be "as is, where is....". The seller will provide a copy of the most recent survey and basic title insurance. Airports: Childress, TX- paved 6000 foot runway, additional paved runways in Paducah and Quanah. The ranch has two grass runways of approximately 2800 feet. They can be extended if so desired. Summary: This is an incredible historic ranch, comprising one of the largest ranches in the state in an area that has great fascination and mystique from the days of the old cattle drives and Native Americans who inhabited the region. The river frontage on both sides of the North Pease River is just amazing passing the high limestone bluffs and driving across the clear running water. You can build lakes, you can't build 23 miles of river. Parts of the ranch give the feeling of being near Santa Fe, New Mexico with the red dirt and outcrops. The Buckle L. Ranch, although already well improved, does offer unlimited possibilities to the visionary land steward to enjoy and further enhance for generations to come. Contact For Further Information: John A.
