5392 Cr 296 Breckenridge, TX - Buck Canyon Ranch is a turn-key luxury hunting preserve nestled in the small community of Eolian, located in western Stephens County, Texas. This meticulously maintained 450-acre property is home to high-quality Whitetail Deer genetics and an impressive array of over twenty exotic species. The ranch has a pleasing topography with a gentle roll, lined with numerous deep draws and valleys accented with substantial rock outcroppings that eventually slope into a flat topography on the southern end of the ranch. Buck Canyon Ranch is a remarkable sanctuary with a hardy eight-foot fence surrounding the entire property. Cross-fencing on the property includes a generous northern section of approximately 196 acres and a southern section of around 218 acres; two additional fenced areas further enhance the ranch. A 40-acre trap designed to nurture whitetail deer and a one-acre pen for kangaroos create a unique visitor experience. To ensure the safety of both guests and wildlife, the owner has thoughtfully fenced off all essential buildings, allowing for an open and inviting entrance. Currently, the north and south fields are cultivated with wheat, providing food for wildlife throughout the winter months. In September, the ranch transforms into a prime location for dove hunting. This ranch is a true outdoorsman paradise with abundant water sources for animals and fishing. At the heart of Buck Canyon Ranch is an extraordinary custom stone residence that beautifully combines modern comforts with rustic elegance, creating a genuinely appealing atmosphere. As you step inside, you will be captivated by the meticulous craftsmanship that defines the open floor plan. This thoughtfully designed layout harmoniously connects the kitchen, dining, and living areas, adorned with floor-to-ceiling windows that showcase stunning sunrises and fill the home with natural light.
