Check out this absolutely stunning 306 +/- acre multi-use ranch located just West of Pidcoke, TX between Gatesville and Copperas Cove and less than a two hour drive from Dallas/Ft. Worth and Austin.
Land:
The rolling topography creates tremendous views of the neighboring countryside. The owners have taken great care of improving and maintaining the land. Much of the cedar has been cleared off property, exposing beautiful groves of Oak trees, while at the same time leaving some dense areas to allow for wildlife cover. The land has varied terrain with multiple elevation changes there are beautiful panoramic views from the areas with higher elevation on property. The Double M has been able to support a large cattle herd (50+ head) for many years. The ponds are strategically placed for watering, and the separately fenced 60+ acres in cultivation has year after year produced good hay yield....

Fencing: The property is completely fenced and cross-fenced for efficient cattle and farming operation. Perimeter fencing is barbed wire and is in excellent condition. Owner had also strategically placed electric fence chutes from all over property that lead down to the corral area for the easy herding of cattle.
Improvements:
Improvements consist of a 2600 +/- sq. ft. brick home originally built in the 1970s but a whole other section was added onto and remodeled in 1991 which includes a large living area, kitchen and master bed/bath. The home has 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths and one half bath. There are two living areas, and another room that could be used as 3rd living area or 5th bedroom. The main living area features a beautiful rock fireplace that extends to the top of the wall and really catches the eye right when you walk through the front door. This main living area is adorned with mounts of various different wild animals from hunting trips across the world. The kitchen has TONS of cabinet space and has been updated in recent years with new stainless steel appliances.
Just behind house is a 6,000 metal workshop/barn with sliding doors, an office/shop area on slab and a second room on other side of barn that was previously used for gun/ammunition storage. This barn has plenty of storage space for tractor, vehicle and other implement.
Located just beyond the barn is a very good set of round pipe working pens that in previous years had been used for loading and unloading the 30+ head on average of Santa Gertrudis cattle that had been bred and raised on property.
Wildlife:
Wildlife is abundant on the Double M due to seclusion, proximity to live water and light hunting activity by owners throughout the years. This ranch is located almost directly in between the Cowhouse Creek and Bee House Creek just before the two merge on the North side of Pidcoke. This close proximity to year-round water sources makes for ideal nesting location for deer population in area. In addition to whitetail deer, other wildlife include turkey, dove, and hogs.
Water:
There are 5 stock tanks on the property (3 hold water year-round) and a wet-weather creek that extends from the West thru the East boundaries. Water on the property is provided by Multi-County water supply, but there is also two wells on the property. There was even a water line ran almost halfway down property for potential future build site.
This is truly an amazing property that has so much to offer and one must see in person to appreciate.
