Chaparral River Ranch

Descriptions

Chaparral River Ranch is a completed and operating West Texas river ranch...unparalleled on the current market. Abounding with rustic charm is a solid three-bedroom ranch house with abundant storage. Entertain in style with a spacious kitchen featuring custom cabinets, a wet bar, multiple dining areas connected to the den with a fireplace, and 3,000 acres of remarkable river country. The higher sections contain most of the farm ground and extensive county road frontage. As the land descends to the river, rugged "cedar" breaks form meandering creeks winding through thick mesquite brush speckled with large hackberry trees. Wildlife thrives in the river bottoms, frequented by large groups of turkeys and hogs. This productive ranch is fenced and cross-fenced for cattle, with reliable water available in each pasture. The gem of the ranch is the nearly two miles of river frontage on the North Wichita River, creating a natural southern boundary.
