A hidden gem sits just five miles West of Possum Kingdom Lake. Kennedy Ranch is 977+/- acres of rugged yet beautiful land. This "combo" ranch has been managed for both hunting and grazing by creating ample "edge" and preserving proper brush in the breaks and draws. These methods provide substantial grass for bedding and livestock, with ideal brush to attract local wildlife.
Kennedy Ranch comprises three distinct areas of character. The "top" or northern portion of this ranch contains flat, mesquite country with hackberry and large live oak clusters. Splitting Kennedy Ranch's terrain is a cedar and oak-covered limestone shelf with large outcroppings. Water resources are abundant, with Cedar Creek, 4-6 acre lakes, and scattered ponds supporting the acreage. "K-Lake" is right at 6 acres when full providing deep water by being positioned in a ravine offering more than 25 feet of depth and ove...
Kennedy Ranch comprises three distinct areas of character. The "top" or northern portion of this ranch contains flat, mesquite country with hackberry and large live oak clusters. Splitting Kennedy Ranch's terrain is a cedar and oak-covered limestone shelf with large outcroppings. Water resources are abundant, with Cedar Creek, 4-6 acre lakes, and scattered ponds supporting the acreage. "K-Lake" is right at 6 acres when full providing deep water by being positioned in a ravine offering more than 25 feet of depth and over half a mile of rock-lined shoreline, creating ideal conditions for exceptional fishing. The "Duck Pond" features an island and peninsula that form prime shallow-water habitat, producing excellent feeding grounds for ducks, geese, and bass. In the southern portion, Cedar Creek runs seasonally around huge boulders and bends, while holding water year-round. This wandering, wooded creek creates excellent turkey habitat with gigantic oaks and elms.
In summary, Kennedy Ranch offers an unparalleled blend of natural beauty and functional design, making it a prime destination for both hunters and ranchers alike. Its diverse terrain, abundant water sources, and careful management practices ensure a thriving ecosystem and excellent opportunities for recreation and livestock. Whether seeking a serene retreat or a productive working ranch, Kennedy Ranch stands out as a remarkable property in the heart of Texas.
Broker's Comments ~ "Calling this ranch secluded is an understatement. Kennedy Ranch feels as though you're a hundred miles from nowhere, yet it's just five miles from Possum Kingdom Lake. Even more remarkable, this property has remained in the same family since the 1880s, making it a true legacy holding." ~ Boone C.
