PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Conveniently located near the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex, the Brittany Hollow Ranch is a well-diversified property rich in recreational features complemented by scenic bodies of water, abundant wildlife, agriculture production and diverse potential income sources! Lending well to the term “combination ranch,” the property is bordered by Cottonwood Creek which feeds two unnamed creek tributaries meandering through variable topography. Creek channels, robust water resources and mature hardwood clusters support wildlife habitat. This multipurpose ranch has been used as a primary residence, a rental income producer, quality family time, general recreation and livestock/hay production. Additionally, the ranch boasts excellent balance with modest topography, scenic build sites, hardwood lined creek banks, improved pastures, a 7+/- acre private lake and a 4.5+/- acre shared lake stocked with gamefish. Plentiful waterfowl frequent multiple bodies of water on the property. The White-tail deer population thrives in an abundance of browse, forbs and excellent environmental provisions! Exceptional all-weather access, electricity and rural water meters provide added utility to the property and may assist with additional development. The Brittany Hollow Ranch offers opportunity for development in the form of scenic home sites with acreage and/or development of a luxury estate. The property includes over 3,100+/- feet (.52 +/- of a mile) of asphalt paved frontage on County Road 4084. Approximately 44 acres of the property located in the NE corner is incorporated in the municipality of Cottonwood, Texas.

DETAILS

Home Features

• Improvements: A primary ranch home comprising over 3,750 SF per CAD, provides 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, a full kitchen, spacious living area, and covered porch.

A fully stocked 7+/- acre private lake and a shared 4.5+/- acre lake with multiple secondary ponds complement the land. Internal road beds, rural water meters and electric meters round out the improvements located on the property.

• Agricultural Production Capacities: Conservative cattle carrying capacity is 25 -30 head of cattle on this tract of land. Approximately 20+/- acres of the property possess improved grasses with two pastures lending very well to hay production.
• Topography: Topography on the Brittany Hollow Ranch has a variance of approximately 40+ feet from its lowest to highest elevation. Approximately 40% of the property lies in the 100-year floodplain per FEMA mapping resources.
• Wildlife/Hunting: Native White-tail deer are consistently seen on the property. Wild hogs, dove and migrating waterfowl are prevalent on the ranch. Indigenous species of varmints, toads, lizards, birds, and insects play their role in a diverse ecosystem on the Brittany Hollow Ranch. Fishing opportunities abound in the private lakes and secondary ponds! All bodies of water lend well to waterfowl hunting. Additional waterfowl hunting opportunities may be had with wetland improvements on the south end of the property.

Horse Facility Features

• This ranch possesses all the fundamental characteristics that make an exceptional horse property. With more than 20± acres of potential horse-quality hay production, the land offers the ability to produce forage on-site while supporting grazing and equestrian operations. Its strategic location near the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex provides convenient access to one of the largest horse markets in Texas, while neighboring horse properties and emerging equestrian ranches further validate the area's suitability for equine use. Large-acreage tracts in this portion of Kaufman County are becoming increasingly difficult to find, and many buyers are acquiring these larger holdings specifically to develop horse ranches. The property benefits from abundant water resources, including multiple ponds and lakes, providing reliable water for livestock and recreational enjoyment. Equally important, the soil composition is highly favorable for horses, consisting predominantly of sandy loam and clay loam soils rather than heavy clay, which promotes better drainage, footing, and pasture conditions. Privacy is another significant asset, as the ranch is situated near the end of an asphalt county road, creating a quiet and secluded setting with minimal traffic. Simply put, all the essential ingredients are in place—quality grass for hay production, ample water, horse-friendly soils, privacy, and an ideal location—making this property an outstanding candidate for an equestrian ranch or horse breeding and training operation.
