Description
Overview/Location: Found in far northwest Wise County, with excellent proximity to the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex, Sunrise Ranch epitomizes a "combination ranch," blending scenic recreational assets with productive agricultural features. The property offers hardwood timber, recreational appeal, native wildlife, fertile coastal bermuda pastures, all-weather roads, wet weather & named creeks, and eight stock tanks. Well-built and tasteful improvements throughout the property make it an ideal turn-key combination property.

The nearest towns for gasoline, water, ice and restaurants include Sunset, Texas (2.5 miles NW), Decatur, Texas (17 miles SE), and Denton, Texas (44 miles SE). Access to the ranch is facilitated by Private Road 2892, immediately adjacent to US Highway 287.

Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms complete the home. A three-car garage with extra storage closets and space is attached.
Other Improvements: A custom, pipe-rail gate at the main entrance serves to welcome guests and provides a sense of 'arrival'. A corrugated metal equipment barn with stalls and tack room has been recently renovated to include a small living area with a kitchen/living room, bedroom and full bathroom. Working pens with covered loafing areas, equipment/implement storage, and a hay trap contribute to a functional design for full time ranch work or weekenders.

Improved coastal bermuda grasses are found throughout the remainder of the property, a large hay field sits behind the home measuring approx. 40 acres. Several food plots attract & support local wildlife. Topography on the property is generally rolling in nature, with higher elevations along a ridge towards the back of the property. Several drainages direct water into Brushy Creek, a wet weather creek that runs through the property.
