485-Acre Bar T Ranch in Montague County, TX for Sale

The 485-acre Bar T Ranch has been a part of the Bybee Family Properties for over 100 years. This legacy ranch is rare in many ways, beginning with its size; a property of this caliber only comes along once in a lifetime! The Bar T, with its abundance of water, elevation changes, and hardwoods separates itself from others. There are no less than 12 ponds, all in good to excellent condition, some with excellent fishing. Many of the ponds have unique traits; behind the dams are large drop offs into large ravines or creeks with hardwoods, and some are nestled into heavy timber that line the banks, making excellent duck and waterfowl hunting. In addition to the multiple ponds on the Bar T, Dye Creek, a primary feeder creek, runs through a good portion of the property. When Dye Creek isn't running, pools of water can be found through much of the creek bed. There are several ravines and draws throughout the ranch that feed the multiple ponds. Bar T sits in an area known for exceptional sub surface water and procuring multiple water wells will be an option for the owner. The terrain of the Bar T is diverse with nearly 90 feet of elevation changes throughout the ranch. There is a range of hardwoods and big timber, from post oaks and red oaks to hackberry and even some cottonwoods along the big ravines. There are several open meadows that are surrounded by timber, the largest being approx. 43 acres. The meadows are excellent resources for native grasses, food plots, and improved grasses for livestock and wildlife. The Bar T is divided into 4 different pastures allowing the rancher to rotate livestock. Hunting on the ranch is exceptional, as only limited family has hunted the ranch for years. Whether you're a bow hunter or long-range rifle hunter the Bar T has the set-up. Common game are whitetail, turkey, hogs, coyotes, bobcats, duck, geese etc. Access to the ranch is exceptional with a black top entrance off of Hwy 59, or CR entrance on Weed Rd. There is just under a mile of frontage. The interior roads are good to excellent to maneuver throughout the property. The owner has added some additional roads recently. The Bar T is suited for anyone whether it be residential, ranching, hunting, recreation, or future development, and there is no oil field production on the property.
