144 Acres - Forestburg, Texas

Premier Cross Timbers Hunting & Homesite Ranch

Welcome to 144 acres of raw, untouched land located in the highly desirable Forestburg area of Montague County, Texas. Held in the same family for over 100 years, this ranch is available for purchase for the first time in generations. This exceptional property offers a rare opportunity to own a true blank canvas in the heart of the Cross Timbers region. With over 80 feet of elevation change, breathtaking views, towering hardwoods, and a year-round deep-water creek, this ranch is loaded with character and potential.

The land is raw, heavily wooded with mature hardwoods that dominate the property, including numerous 100-year-old oak and pecan trees that stand as living monuments to the ranch's rich history. From a hunting perspective, this ranch checks all the boxes. Forestburg is widely known for producing quality whitetail deer, and the heavy timber cover, natural water source, and multiple open areas ideal for food plot development create exceptional habitat. With strategic management and selective clearing, this property has the potential to become a premier hunting ranch. The deep creek, holding water year-round, winds through the property and serves as a natural travel corridor for wildlife while adding both beauty and functionality. The topography allows for natural funnel points, while the dense cover provides bedding areas that can hold deer. Hogs, turkey, dove, and small game further enhance the recreational value.

The property features large elevation changes creating amazing views. From the hilltops, you'll experience breathtaking sunset views that stretch across hardwood-covered ridges, perfect for a custom home with a wide back porch and rocking chairs facing west. With road frontage on Die Mound Road and electricity already on site, this property is ready for someone with vision to unlock its full potential. Whether you're looking to build a forever home, create a private hunting retreat, or establish a long-term investment, this ranch delivers location, beauty, and opportunity.

What makes this ranch special is not just what it is today, it's what it could become. With vision and thoughtful improvement, this property could be transformed into a flagship recreational and family ranch designed to be passed down for generations. The bones are here. The beauty is here. The history is here. It simply needs someone ready to unlock its full potential. Whether you envision a private hunting retreat, a custom-built homestead, or a long-term investment in one of North Texas' most desirable rural communities, this ranch offers the opportunity to create something truly lasting.
