TBD Hidden Pond Ranch County Road 180 Rd
About this property
Hidden Pond Ranch is a 50 +/- acre recreational property near Purmela in Coryell County centered around a recently redone stock tank located on a natural draw. Tucked back within the heavier cover is an approximately 0.25 +/- acre pond that was recently redone and holds water well. A natural draw feeds directly into the pond, while mature hardwoods and mesquite surround much of the area and give wildlife a protected route to and from the water. Away from the pond and timber, the ranch opens considerably into a broad field across the southern portion of the property. The change from thick cover to open country gives Hidden Pond Ranch two very different sides: a secluded recreational setting around the water and plenty of usable acreage for livestock, food plots, or future improvements. The ranch sits along paved County Road 180 near Purmela in Coryell County, providing convenient year-round access while remaining in a quiet rural setting. Around the pond and draw, hardwood and mesquite cover create a secluded interior with natural shade, bedding cover, and wildlife habitat. Moving south, the timber gives way to a large open field that adds a completely different element to the ranch. The approximately 0.25 +/- acre pond is the centerpiece of the ranch. Recently redone and holds water well, it is fed by a natural draw running through the property. Dense hardwood and mesquite cover provides bedding and security, the draw creates a natural travel route, and the pond gives wildlife a dependable focal point within the ranch. Whitetail deer, Rio Grande turkey, dove, and wild hogs are common throughout the area. Paved County Road 180 provides straightforward access to the ranch, and electricity is available near the front portion of the property. That setup gives a buyer flexibility to establish a cabin, residence, RV setup, barn, or ranch headquarters while leaving the more secluded portions of the property undisturbed.
