Iron Bridge Creek Ranch awaits the family investor that seeks to hunt and play in the beautiful spring fed timbered hills of central east Texas. Conveniently located two hours southeast of Dallas and two hours north of Houston, IBCR is an exclusively beautiful wooded getaway. Game fenced in 2016, the ranch has since taken its current form where improved and trophy wildlife have begun to be established. With over 200 feet of irregular elevation change in the rolling timbered hills, IBCR leaves you with the never fulfilled desire to explore more of its 557± acres.
Three main water courses include two spring fed creeks that wind and fall through their hillside courses, and One Arm Creek, which makes up the majority of the western boundary. The recently constructed “bathhouse” serves the primitive campground headquarters, offering an elegant reprieve from the campfire and weather extremes. Take a hot shower, run a load of much needed laundry, or just have a nice lounge in the breezeway to sit and visit while out of the elements. The small cabin offers beds and/or a place for ranch labor.
The ranch is accessed by endless trails and roads winding through the creek valleys, bottoms, and hilltops. Five separate bridges make navigating the ranch easier, ranging from 20 feet to 90 feet, but there are several native rock or gravel creek crossings to keep the experience a little wilder. Five interior fields are currently equipped with blinds and feeders, with additional feeding stations around the ranch. The ranch purchased a total of seven Premier Blinds, which are all in use on the ranch.
The ranch has been managed with prescribed burns and will continue to benefit from aggressive management, whether timber or understory development. Hardwoods include various oak, pecan, hickory, holly, elm, birch, and sycamore. Loblolly pines in small amount of managed plantation, and native shortleaf and loblolly also in natural uneven aged management. A modest pine timber harvest would likely be beneficial to the overall future development of the ranch’s ecology.
Extensive efforts were made to remove all native whitetail from the ranch, which was believed to be successful. In 2019, the whitetail acquired and acclimated in the feeder pens were released. These were all trophy quality whitetail bucks acquired from reputable trophy breeders. More pedigree information available upon request. A small number of axis and elk range within the ranch as well.
