This 341.8 acre Mulberry Canyon ranch is located just 30 minutes from downtown Abilene. As a hunter s paradise, Mulberry Creek meanders throughout the property enhancing the wildlife habitat and natural beauty of the West Texas terrain. It features county road access and is ideally suited for hunting, ranching, or recreational activities. With two stock tanks, the ranch provides the necessary water sources for wildlife and livestock. There are also multiple water meters available through Blair Water Supply and electricity is available as well. Abundant deer and hog signs were seen on the ranch during inspection and this area is also well known for great dove hunting. The ranch's topography varies from 2100 feet in the seasonal creek bed to 2160 feet on the southern edge, offering gently rolling hills and stunning views. Following a fire in 2019, the land has seen a resurgence of native grasses and new growth trees, while some areas of thick cedar and mesquite brush remain, creating a diverse habitat for local wildlife. This Mulberry Canyon ranch offers a desirable destination for those seeking a great hunting or recreational retreat!
