771 County Road 2130Meridian, TX 76665Price: $6,629,385

Fantastic opportunity to acquire a large-acreage combination ranch that has been owned by the same family for over 50 years. While the ranch features the diverse Bosque County terrain that makes it a great recreational ranch, the Merriman Ranch is also an exceptional cattle ranch. The existing 2200sf farmhouse creates a comfortable living space for a family farm or weekend residence, or as a temporary living space during construction of a new home in one of the multiple other attractive locations on the ranch. The ranch has 2 separate entrances from CR 2130 along with approximately a mile of frontage along the all-season county road. Merriman Ranch features over 100 ft of elevation change and diverse terrain ranging from areas of productive, deeper soils to rough, rocky hill country and high plateaus. Large portions of the ranch are native grasses with lots of oak trees and other hardwoods. Surface water includes 12+ ponds, along with 2 seasonal creeks. The ranch offers excellent hunting and wildlife habitat including all native species: deer, hogs, varmint, turkey, duck and dove. Improvements include the 4BR 2B farmhouse that had the interior updated in 2019. There is also a 100x60 Morton shop building with wooden trusses and slab foundation (built 1984), a 60x45 hay barn, and a 40x30 shed with slab foundation. There's also a usable corral with squeeze chute. The ranch has an existing water meter with Mustang Valley Water Supply, and there are 3 water wells on the property, although Seller makes no warranties regarding well condition or performance. The ranch is fenced and cross-fenced, with a small portion of the boundary being high-fenced. Approximately 84 acres are planted with Tifton 85 improved grasses for hay production or grazing. Seller believes they own at least a portion of the mineral rights and may convey some mineral rights with an acceptable offer.
