The Hidden Antler Ranch is the epitome of a turnkey recreational property. Meticulously managed for the last decade, this 540± acre high-fenced ranch boasts a top-tier whitetail herd and a set of equally impressive improvements to entertain your family and friends, which include a total of 8 bedrooms, 8.5 baths, a pool, and a barndominium. Around every turn of the ranch’s 8+ miles of road systems, you are liable to run into one of the property’s 11 ponds or a tactfully placed pasture surrounded by mature hardwood forest.
The property’s diverse terrain and abundant water sources support a variety of native wildlife. Under TPWD MLDP III guidelines, the well-managed whitetail herd produces bucks scoring 170-180+, with a 7± acre pen for breeding and soft releases. Mature hardwood forests provide habitat for Rio Grande Turkeys, and ten ponds attract ground mammals and migrating waterfowl, including mallards and teal.
The Hidden Antler Ranch boasts premier improvements that match the quality of its land. Built in 2013, the two sister houses—one 3,742± SF with three beds and 3.5 baths, and the other 2,880± SF with three beds and three baths—feature open layouts with natural wood finishes and ample natural light. The houses have individual touches, such as an upstairs game room and different kitchen and living room designs. Both homes offer stunning views of a 1,200± SF pool, a manicured backyard, and a tastefully located pond. A custom stone fire pit adjacent to the pool provides a cozy gathering spot for cooler seasons.
In addition to the houses, the property includes a 1,500± SF barndominium featuring a sealed storage barn with a concrete foundation, living quarters with a kitchen and large bedroom, and a covered outdoor storage and social area. Nearby is a nostalgic cabin with a large bedroom and full bath.
The ranch is high-fenced throughout, except for a 12± acre area with low fencing for hunting. The high fence spans over 22,000± linear feet and is in excellent condition. The property features over 8 miles of drivable trails, including nearly 1 mile of high-grade caliche roads between the housing areas. Additional amenities include multiple stand and feeder setups, a protein/grain storage silo, and high-speed internet provided by fiber optic cable.
There is 8,780 feet of frontage on both sides of Chandler Branch Creek as it runs from the NW corner to the SE corner of the property. There is also a smaller unnamed creek drainage that runs southward from just east of the entrance into Chandler Branch in the middle of the property.
In addition to the creeks, the property has 11 ponds, ranging in size from 0.25± to 0.75± acres. Together, the ponds form a significant 5± acres of surface water.
There are 4 known operational wells on the ranch, all of which have been drilled since 2003. The wells range in bore depth from 275’ to 570’, and the groundwater is plentiful and of excellent quality.
