Land with Home for Sale in Clifton, Texas

Welcome to the Bent Tree Ranch. This quintessential Central Texas ranch has a little bit for everyone. Located just 2 miles north of Clifton along the eastern bank of the North Bosque River, the 145-acre ranch features approximately 2,100' of river frontage, 2 wells, pivot irrigation (35 acres), 4,890sf home with 5 beds and 4.5 baths, custom pool/spa, large metal shop building, livestock pens (2 sets), and multiple additional outbuildings.

The property is under agricultural exemption and the owners have a lease arrangement with a local hay producer. The 60-acre Coastal pasture produces an average of 11,500 square bales annually. 35 acres of the 60-acre pasture is irriguated with a pivot and 3 phase, 480v well. The well report indicates the well has a depth of 603', 6.9in casing diameter, 30 hp pump, with a max capacity GPM of 200.

The house well has a depth of 760', 6' casing, 3hp pump, and a pump capacity of 13 gpm. NO SHORTAGE OF WATER.

The 4,890sf home was built in 1980 (per BCAD) and features 5-beds, 4.5-baths, great room, dining, kitchen, utility, and gameroom. The house is surrounded my large majestic Texas Live Oaks, one of which is the namesake of the ranch. The home is in very good condition and shows well. Built for entertaining, this ranch style home has multiple patios, decks, and a custom pool with spa.

The large metal shop measures approximately 40' x 80' and features foam insulation, gas heat, and a backup generator. The shop is full of equipment and rolling stock, much of which is negotiable upon an acceptable offer. On that note, the house furnishings are also negotiable.

The ranch is multi-tiered sloping from the road down into the river bed. A very adequate road system provides perfect access to all areas of the ranch. Fencing is all in good condition. Multiple pastures are cross-fenced for crop rotation. The owners maintain oats and wheat in the lower field and rotate sunflower, wheat, and oats in the middle field, depending on wildlife management. The upper field is solely purposes for Coastal hay production.

I am told the dove and deer hunting are outstanding. I have now been to the ranch multiple times and deer sightings never fail. I am told, if not over-pressured, dove limits are easily obtainable.

The lower section of the ranch has good woody tree canopy along the river. This area has been meticulously cleaned and cleared of brush. Access down into the river bed is convenient with either of two access points. There are large gravel beds in the river as well as deep pools. There is no end to exploring and discovery to be had in the river bottom.

Access to Clifton, the nearest town, is just minutes away. Clifton is a vibrant artist community complete with a hosptal, multiple resturants, museum, grocery store(s), and shopping. Many refer to Clifton as the top of the Texas Hill County. Clifton is well known for its Norweigan history and there are many landmarks to visit on any given day.

Access to the ranch is via gravel road. The commute time from the DFW metro area is approximately 1.5 hours. Its a short 40 minute drive into Waco.

This property shows like a park and is turn-key-ready to host your family and friends for years to come. The land, river, house, and improvements combine to create a perfect weekend retreat.
