2401 Hwy 679, Gorman, TX 76454 - Comanche County

Overview

Grand Lago Ranch is the perfect choice for a buyer searching for a quality recreational ranch with some of the best fishing in central Texas. The focal point of the ranch is a 16.6ac lake professionally managed for over a decade by Texas Pro Lake Management. With the help of an engineering firm the storied lake was rebuilt in 2008. Planned structure, bottom up aeration, and annual fish surveys to determine harvest and stocking needs, all contribute to phenomanal bass fishing. Waterfowl hunting is also excellent in the shallows along the timber lined north end of the lake. For other wildlife pursuits the ranch spans 475ac with a combination of mixed brush, heavy in deer browse as well as over 100ac of tillable land for food plots. There are four other bodies of water on the ranch ranging from .25ac to 1.25ac contributing to excellent overall wildlife habitat. Access to the ranch is provided by paved FM Road 679 along the west boundary for access to the main three bedroom two bath rock home, two bedroom one bath guest barndominium, and equipment shed. On the east side of the ranch CR 479 provides access to a 3 bedroom 2 bath brick home that would be perfect for a ranch managers housing. The straight boundary lines, size, and habitat diversity make the Grand Lago a great candidate for high fencing and intensive wildlife management as well.
