Property Description:
Sunset Mountain Ranch claims its name from the road and beautiful sunset views for miles and miles in this beautiful North Texas Hill country. Located west of Lipan in Palo Pinto County, this ranch sits on roughly 33 acres of varied landscape with rugged, hilly, brushy areas and open Bermuda pasture land and is ideal for grazing cattle. An abundance of wildlife is attracted to the property and the area due to the combination of pasture land and the cover and habitat from the hardwood trees, vegetation, and water from the two ponds. A custom-built home with a steel roof, includes a 3rd floor office with spectacular views of the afternoon sunsets. Situated at the end of a long drive, the property is private and peaceful, ideal for weekend getaways or full-time residence.
