Description
Bell Hollow Ranch is an exceptional 800 acre high-fenced recreational and hunting ranch located approximately 20 minutes from Harper along the eastern edge of Kimble County. Well maintained and carefully managed for the past 14 years, the ranch offers an outstanding combination of rolling Hill Country terrain, open grasslands, mature oak motts, long-range views and areas of dense native cover. This diversity creates excellent habitat for wildlife and livestock while providing the privacy and seclusion expected from a substantial Hill Country ranch. The established headquarters features a well-maintained two-bedroom main residence with kitchen, utility room and an open living and kitchen area with fireplace. A detached covered carport provides additional storage. A separate guest house offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms and an open living and kitchen area, providing ample accommodations for family and guests. The main residence, guest house and cook shack are well constructed and feature attractive rock exteriors. The enclosed cook shack serves as an excellent gathering and entertaining space with windows throughout, an old iron wood-burning stove, gas cooking equipment, griddle and room for tables. Additional improvements include a fully enclosed equipment barn on a concrete slab, covered game-cleaning area, walk-in cooler, three-sided equipment shed with enclosed storage, 40-foot storage container and overhead grain bin. The headquarters compound is fenced to keep livestock away from the residential area. Bell Hollow Ranch is exceptionally well watered. An electric submersible well at the headquarters supplies the residences and nearby troughs. Three additional solar-powered wells are strategically located throughout the ranch, with a fourth currently being drilled. Concrete water troughs further distribute dependable water for livestock and wildlife. One of the ranch's standout features is its exceptional native whitetail deer herd. For approximately 14 years, the herd has been intensively managed with the assistance of a well-known wildlife biologist. The ranch has produced Hill Country whitetail scoring into the high 160s Boone & Crockett. The owner has maintained harvest records, wildlife surveys and photographs documenting the management program and its results. In addition to abundant native whitetail, the ranch supports healthy populations of axis deer, turkey, dove and other native Hill Country wildlife. The terrain is extremely scenic, featuring rolling topography with an attractive balance of open grassland and dense wildlife cover. Draws and thicker areas provide excellent bedding and escape habitat, while higher elevations offer impressive long-range views. Vegetation includes live oak, juniper, mesquite, hackberry, oak motts and other native species, complemented by healthy native grasses providing quality forage. Bell Hollow Ranch is located just north of U.S. Highway 290 on the eastern side of Kimble County. Access is provided by county road and an all-weather access easement with two electric gates, with the second gate providing entrance to the ranch. The property offers excellent privacy while remaining convenient to Harper and everyday services. There are no known easements crossing the ranch other than utility-related easements, with access provided by an all-weather access easement. This offering is for the surface estate only. The owner does not believe he owns any of the mineral estate, and there is currently no oil and gas production or active oil and gas lease on the ranch. Bell Hollow Ranch represents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly improved, turnkey Hill Country ranch with quality accommodations, dependable water, diverse habitat, abundant wildlife and an exceptional long-term native whitetail management program.
