The Running N Ranch is 1,185 contiguous acres of legacy ranch land with incredible views from the dozens of high elevation bluffs overlooking the Clear Creek valleys below.  Approx 55% wooded and 45% grassland, this is an excellent combination cattle and recreational wonderland where a family comes together to create memories that last a lifetime. The historic Chisolm Trail and the Butterfield Stage line both came through the area. The north western poriton of the ranch was once used as a gravel mine, with reclaiming processes adding a crystal clear lake, with a second one under construction. Three major lakes dot the landscape: Quarry Lake on the north end is about 6.45 acres and has crystal clear water. Twin Oaks Lake is about 2.4 acres in size and features deep banks and standing timber for natural fish cover.  Sparrow Hawk Lake is a 6 acre lake with a beautiful park setting that includes a gazebo, dock, firepits, and toilet. Clear Creek is the southeastern boundary of the property for about .9 of a mile.   The valley bottoms host multiple natural springs that offer year round water source for wildlife and livestock as well.  The 500 acres of grass is mostly hardy native grasses of the prairie, with one bottom pasture containing about 20 acres of improved bermudagrass. The 685 acres of woods include a great variety of trees including several species of white oaks, native red oaks, pecan, hickory, walnut, persimmon, and elm. A brick office building was once used for the gravel mine and is now used as a camphouse.  The simple structure includes two rooms plus a restroom and a 30x40 all metal workshop. A water well serves this area and features a large capacity storage tank.   An additional water well is located further south and is currently only used to water livestock.  Electrical service lines are established in several locations around the property. Good set of cattle pens located on the FM 3206 boundary. Excellent fences and roads throughout the property.
