Big Onion Creek Ranch is currently operating as an active hay farm and is primed for future development. This partially fenced 225 +- Acre tract is located approximately 0.6 miles east of HWY 77 and only 1 mile east of Interstate 35. The ranch is already surrounded on all four sides by large lot single home developments and is positioned within a major growth corridor. Approximately 60 acres of the ranch is made up of improved Bermuda grass and the remainder is under no-till cultivation with Haygrazer. The entire property is under a 1-D-1 agricultural tax exemption, creating an excellent investment opportunity into an income-producing asset with immediate or future development potential.
