Offering 1,923.2 ± acres of contiguous, open, and rolling terrain, this acreage stands out as a generational asset. The owner is willing to subdivide, giving you the flexibility to buy the entire ranch or secure a custom-sized tract built for your specific legacy, cattle operation, residential subdivision, or long-term investment goals.

The Housing & Development Advantage in Childress, TX Childress faces a critical and growing demand for quality housing, making this 1,923-acre holding a prime candidate for master-planned residential growth, workforce housing, or custom acreage home sites: • Strategic Highway Frontage: Direct connectivity and access along the heavily traveled Hwy 62 - 83 corridor allows for rapid commutes into the heart of Childress (just 8 miles away). • Flexible Sub-Division Readiness: Already legally divided into 5 distinct tax appraisal parcels across Childress and Cottle counties, phase-by-phase residential development or builder lot sales can start immediately. • Turnkey Water Infrastructure: Unlike surrounding properties that face severe water security hurdles, this ranch features an established water distribution network-including a stocked 4-acre pond and deep structural water tanks-drastically lowering initial site-development and utility planning hurdles for community layouts. • Multi-Use Master Plan Potential: The rolling, scenic topography and native tree cover allow developers to carve out scenic greenbelts, recreational walking trails, and low-density country residential or multi-acre homestead lots while preserving the area's natural charm.
