Buck Creek Ranch
Description
Overview: Nestled in the heart of East Texas, Buck Creek Ranch embodies a commitment to sustainable agriculture through regenerative ranching practices. Spanning 114+/- acres of pristine pastureland, Buck Creek Ranch is more than just a cattle ranch – it’s a testament to the owner’s dedication to nurturing the land while producing high-quality, ethically raised livestock. The ranch owners have prided themselves on their pioneering approach to ranching through Ultra High-Density Grazing. This method involves strategically rotating cattle through small, intensively managed paddocks. By mimicking the natural grazing patterns of wild herds, they greatly enhance soil fertility, promote diverse plant growth and maintain healthy pastures year-round. Through its grazing practices, the ranch is able to carry twice what is typically considered the average carrying capacity for this region of Texas.
Location: Buck Creek Ranch is located approximately 15 minutes east of downtown Lufkin. Approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes north of Houston (130 miles), 3 hours southeast of Dallas (175 miles), 1 hour and 50 minutes south of Tyler (91 miles). The main entrance is located at the end of Dorsett Rd.
Main House: The main house is approximately 3,489 square feet and includes 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and 2 half bathrooms. Open concept kitchen with updated appliances and lots of cabinets for storage. The main house sits at the front of the property overlooking pastures.

Fencing: The entire property is fenced with 5 strand barbed wire for cattle. Cross fencing is in place throughout the entire ranch to create 12 separate pastures.
