Melton Branch Ranch, a splendid recreational and livestock property, is located in the Wheelock, Texas, area. Entrance is through a pipe rail gate off Matajka Road, leading onto a winding pasture road amidst hardwood trees. The ranch boasts lush green hay meadows over sandy loam soil, enhanced by a rolling landscape that unveils multiple potential homesites across its expanse. Matajka Road, a quiet, county-maintained gravel dead-end, provides easy access from OSR Highway.
Game trails abound, many following Melton Branch Creek traversing the ranch's western boundary. The land is adorned with post oak, red oaks, pecan trees, eastern red junipers, and sycamores, enriching both the open hayfields and dense timber areas. Currently benefiting from a 1-D-1 agricultural valuation, Melton Branch Ranch lies within the coveted Franklin Independent School District, presenting an ideal opportunity to build a new ranch home, facilitate a 1031 exchange, or expand existing ranching operations.
