5,000 Acre Weaver Ranch, Abilene

Sat, 13 Mar 2010 13:48:20 -0600

The Weaver Ranch is a West Texas jewel. This very rare offering of a prestigious 5,000 acre spread appeals to only the most discriminating buyers. It offers fantastic hunting, stunning vistas from the high-country area southwest of Abilene, and varied elevations ranging from 2,100 2,500 feet. The historical ranch headquarters has a serene, quiet setting, and with very comfortable homes and guest quarters it can accommodate even the largest groups. The ranch is being sold with minerals and 50% wind rights, and it sits in a prime location for both, with the wind transmission lines ready for hookup.

Topography: This ranch lies in the hilly region southwest of Abilene and is at the very northern part of the Edwards Plateau. It has various elevations ranging from 2,100 2,500 in dynamic topographic changes, coupled with rolling hills and fertile lowlands in the valley. The soil makeup is primarily Cobb, Oplin, and Shep loams in the high ground and sandy and clay soils in the lower areas. There are also a large number of fascinating rock outcroppings throughout the ranch.

Wildlife: The Weaver Ranch has abundant deer, dove, bobwhite quail, turkeys, and of course plenty of varmints. Trophy whitetails as large as 200 pounds and in the 160-class range have been killed in recent years. The ranch has 8 blinds and feeder locations. The range has great forage plants and habitat cover such as shin oaks, live oaks, Mexican red buds, hackberry, mesquite, and cedar. It is covered entirely in brush cover, except for a few food plots and some winter crop areas. The peak of the rut is usually around the 3^rd week of the season.

Wind: 50% wind rights covey with the sale. Unlike most available ranches with wind potential, here the transmission lines are currently in place serving turbines that are literally on neighboring ranches that surround the Weaver. All the buyer needs to do is negotiate a lease in the future for some fantastic income.

Location: About 25 miles (or 30 minutes) southwest of Abilene, in Nolan County. The drive is about 2 ½ hours from Midland and 3 ½ hours from Dallas.

Water: The ranch has several wet weather creeks that pool and capture water. There are also a few ponds for watering wildlife. The ranch has 9 good windmills throughout that each overflow into one or two troughs. The headquarters is serviced by 3 water wells that produce great drinking water.

Improvements: The main house at headquarters is a 4 bedroom, 4 bath, 5,000 square foot house. There are also a ranch-style cookshack with a shaded beeezeway and guest quarters, a foremans home with 2 bedrooms built in 1929, a 3 bedroom mobile home, and a nice hunting cabin on a remote side of the ranch. The ranch also features an indoor arena, 32 horse stalls, an 800 head feedlot pen with chutes, and an outdoor arena and pen.

Minerals: Seller will convey 50% of all owned minerals. There are four small producing wells currently on the property.

History: This ranch has had very few owners since the beginning, and with that comes a lot of regional history, as well as legendary memories made by VIP ranch guests that have visited from all over the world. Properties of this size with such wildlife and topographical assets are seldom on the market in this region.
