Chappell Creek Ranch

  We are excited to offer for sale this scenic ranch with over a mile of Chappell Creek. This ranch has been under the same family ownership for approximately fifty years and this is the first time ever on the market.

  The property is fenced and cross fenced into four main pastures. The ranch has a very desirable combination of open grass pastures lined by mature hardwood trees. In areas tree cover is thick, offering plentiful cover for native wildlife. A few mesquite and cedars are found throughout the ranch as well.

  Chappell Creek flows through the ranch for over a mile, entering the property from the southwest and winding its way northeast. The creek is lined by massive mature pecan, and other hardwoods and conifers. Chappell Creek heads in southeastern Comanche County and runs seven miles northeast to its mouth on the Leon River. The creek is generally fed by springs and at times will flow a good deal of water. Typically, holes of water are found in the creek throughout this property.
