114 Acres - Cottle County Hunting & Recreational Ranch
Welcome to this 114-acre hunting and recreational property located in Cottle County, Texas, conveniently positioned 15 miles from Childress and 17 miles from Paducah with excellent paved road access just off Highway 83. This diverse tract offers a strong combination of cultivation, native cover, elevation change, and excellent wildlife habitat, making it an ideal property for hunting, recreation, livestock grazing, or a future homesite.
Approximately 30 acres are currently planted in wheat, providing a valuable food source for wildlife and creating excellent hunting opportunities along the field edges. The remainder of the property consists of cedar and mesquite cover, forming ideal bedding areas and travel corridors for wildlife. The combination of thick cover and cultivated ground supports strong populations of whitetail deer, mule deer, hogs, and quail.
The property features over 100 feet of elevation change, offering rolling terrain and scenic views across the surrounding countryside. Several wet-weather creeks traverse the property, along with a seasonal pond that holds water during wetter months and could potentially be improved to hold water year-round with minor work.
A major advantage of this tract is its location next to large neighboring ranches. The property borders the Buckle L Ranch, a 37,000+ acre ranch, helping minimize hunting pressure in the immediate area and allowing wildlife to move freely through the region.
The ranch is also located only one-half mile south of the North Pease River, a well-known wildlife corridor that consistently attracts deer and other game. Additionally, the property is just 6.5 miles from the Matador Wildlife Management Area, which spans over 28,000 acres and is widely recognized for its exceptional quail and deer populations.
With electricity already on the property and multiple elevated areas suitable for improvements, this tract offers several excellent locations to establish a hunting camp, weekend retreat, or rural homesite.
Whether you are looking for a turnkey hunting property, a recreational getaway, or a long-term land investment, this Cottle County tract offers an outstanding mix of habitat, access, and location in one of the region's most well-known hunting areas.
