428± acres of a historical cattle and hunting ranch located in Dolen, TX directly off of FM 223 less than an hour from Houston, TX. The ranch has been owned and managed by the same family since the 1800’s and this is the first time it has ever been offered on the open market. Improvements include a total of three houses as well as multiple barns. The main house is a newer, beautiful, custom 3,900 SF 5 bedroom/4 bath home that sits on the highest bluff with views overlooking the ranch. The landscape is a beautiful blend of pastures and mature oak, pine, pecan and hardwood timber. The pastures and hay fields provide grass for the livestock while the scattered timber areas create habitat and cover for the native wildlife. White-tail deer, wild hogs, doves, waterfowl, squirrels, and all manner of native wildlife call the ranch home. Being near the Trinity river, this property is extremely game rich. Large low fence neighbors create a zone that allow wildlife to vibrantly thrive. There are four water wells, three ponds, as well as multiple wet weather creeks along with Winters Bayou that provide ample water for the livestock and wildlife. Winters Bayou runs along the Southeastern edge of the ranch and creates a Cypress slough that makes ideal waterfowl habitat. The property has a large amount of elevation for the area having over 65 feet of elevation change with the highest bluff sitting at 130 feet. This ranch with its location and history is a rare gem that is worth taking a look at.

The ranch is a mixture of large mature oaks, hardwoods, pecans, and pine timber that is blended amongst the pastures. The mature timber provides shade for the livestock as well as cover and habitat for the wildlife. There is no shortage of large majestic, decades-old oak and pecan trees on the property.

These timber-thinned areas could be regenerated into hardwood forest if desired.  A railroad track runs across the ranch and there is a road crossing that goes over the tracks to cross back and forth. There is also an underpass that is open underneath the tracks that allows for cattle to be pushed through from pasture to pasture.
