Secluded, unrestricted, and ready for its next chapter, this 81-acre ranch just south of Desdemona offers the rare combination of privacy and easy access. Major infrastructure is already in place - an increasingly valuable advantage as construction, transportation, and equipment costs continue rising. Located just off Highway 16 at the end of the road, the property has no drive-by traffic—giving you the peace and seclusion buyers want without sacrificing convenience. Three ponds provide dependable water for abundant wildlife and livestock, while electricity, a septic system, and two water wells are already in place near the ranch's center. The front pasture features coastal grass and, with some preparation, offers strong potential for grazing or hay production. The partially wooded back half includes hardwoods and native brush, creating excellent cover, natural travel corridors, and quality hunting habitat. Barbed-wire fencing and cross-fencing add functionality for cattle, horses, or rotational grazing. Whether you are looking for a private homesite, hunting retreat, weekend ranch, livestock operation, or long-term land investment, this property has the foundation and flexibility to make it happen. Far enough out to feel like you've left the city—close enough to actually use it every weekend. Conveniently located approximately 30 miles from Stephenville and Eastland and 90 miles from Fort Worth. The mobile is excluded but negotiable. Ranches with this level of privacy, water, and existing infrastructure are increasingly hard to find—come walk the land and see the potential for yourself.
