Recreational Land with Home for Sale in Gatesville, Texas

Exceptional opportunity to own a turnkey 350-acre high-fenced game ranch in the heart of Central Texas. Ideally located off FM 107 near Gatesville, the ranch offers the privacy and seclusion sportsmen seek while remaining easily accessible, approximately 10 minutes from Gatesville, 30 minutes from the I-35 corridor serving Waco, Temple and Belton, and roughly 1.5 hours from both Austin and the DFW Metroplex. The ranch is already established with quality game genetics, including whitetail deer, axis, oryx and aoudad, creating an outstanding foundation for a private hunting retreat, recreational ranch or game management operation. The property participates in the Managed Lands Deer Program (MLDP) and is equipped with strategically placed feed pens to support an established wildlife management program. The terrain offers an ideal combination of approximately 30% open pasture and 70% native brush, providing excellent habitat, cover and grazing opportunities. Significant elevation changes create impressive vantage points and panoramic Central Texas views, while a beautiful pecan bottom adds another dimension to the landscape. Five stock tanks provide additional wildlife and livestock water sources, and a network of well maintained ranch roads makes the acreage easily accessible. Improvements include a 3/2 farmhouse, detached garage and workshop, providing comfortable accommodations for owners and guests. A rustic outdoor pergola complete with an outdoor kitchen and firepit creates the perfect gathering spot. With high fencing already in place, established game, diverse terrain, water, improvements and convenient access, this property offers the increasingly rare opportunity to step into an established Central Texas game ranch from day one. Whether envisioned as a private family hunting retreat, corporate recreational property or long-term ranch investment, this 350-acre property delivers the land, wildlife and infrastructure to make it happen.
