AREA HISTORY

The ranch lies near the historic community of Sidney in western Comanche County. Settled around 1870 and formerly known as Jimmie’s Creek and Round Mountain, Sidney developed around farming, local commerce, schools, and churches. A log schoolhouse established in 1877 served both educational and religious gatherings, while the introduction of Holstein cattle in the 1880s helped establish the area’s dairy industry. Nearby Round Mountain is associated with pioneering geologist Robert T. Hill, whose early field studies contributed to the understanding of Texas geology.

OTHER

The twelve 600-pound feeders and overhead feed storage bin are included in the $8,300,000 asking price. Exotic animals and other ranch equipment are excluded from the asking price but are available for purchase separately.
