Sandhill Ranch

Description

The Sandhill Ranch, located outside of Estelline, TX, covers an impressive 6,895 acres and features 4.5 miles of river frontage along the Prairie Dog Town Fork of the Red River.

This place is truly a sportsman's paradise — offering some of the best free-range hunting for trophy mule deer, whitetail, quail, turkey, dove, and hogs, you'll be hard pressed to find a better recreational ranch. The terrain is perfect for horseback riding and off-roading, and it comes with a fantastic lodge that sleeps 29 people, plus a 3-bedroom, 2-bath foreman's house.

The land itself is extremely diverse. The terrain shifts dramatically across the property — you’ll find some open sand dunes on the northwest side of the ranch near the river, but most of the ranch you will find hills that are covered in native grasses and good forage, ideal for both wildlife and cattle. There are wide open grasslands tucked between the hills and productive fields typically used for grazing or wildlife food plots. The river flats and riverbed add another level of diversity that really makes this ranch stand out.

One of the biggest things that sets this ranch apart is the amount of water and power infrastructure already in place — it would cost a fortune to recreate what’s here. The ranch is set up to handle major cattle, farming, and commercial hunting operations without missing a beat.

Sandhill Ranch is located near Estelline, Texas, in Hall County — just 200 miles from the DFW Metroplex and 100 miles from Amarillo. If you fly, there are plenty of spots to build a landing strip right on the property, or you can land just 20 minutes away at the Childress Municipal Airport (KCDS) with a 5,949 ft runway.

Infrastructure & Improvement Highlights:

• Sitting on top of the Seymour Aquifer, the ranch has 17 working water wells (a mix of electric, solar, and wind) plus numerous surface tanks.

• The Lodge features 6 private king suites, 8 full baths, 2 bunk rooms, living room, and a kitchen with commercial-grade appliances — separated from the bedrooms by a big, covered outdoor seating space. There's also a 75' x 30' covered parking area attached.
• The foreman’s/guest house has been recently remodeled and includes 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and 2 living areas.
• A 7,600 SF workshop and barn comes with an office, 2 full bathrooms, tons of corrals and working pens, and a hydraulic chute. There’s even a dedicated dog kennel area with 9 covered runs, all plumbed with water.

• The ranch is loaded with strategically placed hunting blinds, corn and protein deer feeders, quail feeders, and turkey feeders to support incredible hunting year-round.
