Welcome to the Burgess Y Ranch, a historically significant ranching property that has been cherished by the same family for over 120 years! Join us on this virtual tour as we explore the wonders of this incredible ranch located just 14 miles southeast of Paducah, Texas. Situated two hours west of Wichita Falls and two hours north of Abilene, this expansive property spans four counties, stretching an impressive eleven miles long by six miles wide.
Prepare to be amazed as we delve into the stunning features that make the Burgess Y Ranch truly remarkable. As we navigate through the ranch, you'll discover deep rolling canyons that seamlessly transition into mesquite-covered flats, offering the potential for agricultural development or improved grasses. These cleared areas provide enhanced forage production for the ranch's thriving bison herd, which roams freely across the land. Native grasses like buffalo grass, side oats grama, blue grama, and Texas winter grass flourish here, contributing to the ranch's natural beauty.
One of the most captivating aspects of the Burgess Y Ranch is its abundant surface water features. Numerous livestock ponds, meticulously cleaned out in recent years, dot the landscape, providing essential water sources for the ranch's inhabitants. However, the crown jewel is the awe-inspiring 20+ miles of river frontage created by the North and Middle Wichita Rivers. These meandering rivers have sculpted breathtaking bluffs and dramatic elevation changes throughout the property, offering spectacular views that will leave you in awe.
Venturing deeper into the ranch, we encounter prominent mesas rising from the heart of the land, offering panoramic vistas that stretch for miles in every direction. It's hard to resist being captivated by the rugged beauty of these elevated points. The Burgess headquarters was thoughtfully constructed near a prominent artesian year-round spring, frequented by nomadic Comanche tribes long before the establishment of the ranch. This natural spring flows continuously into a collection system, providing water to an astonishing 65 strategically placed troughs spread across the property. Additionally, rural water and fifteen windmills supplement the water supply. Two above-ground storage tanks ensure adequate storage capacity and reliable water pressure in even the most remote areas of the ranch.
Beyond the natural wonders, the Burgess Y Ranch boasts impressive infrastructure and accommodations. Five ranch houses, a fully enclosed metal workshop, a covered equipment shed, three horse barns with stalls, two round pens, and an arena with roping boxes offer comfort and convenience for both residents and guests. Seven well-built pipe corrals, complete with gathering traps, scales, and working chutes, ensure easy handling of livestock. The southern portion of the ranch features the Davis Trap, showcasing heavy-duty corrals with livestock scales and a stone-framed line shack that harkens back to the cowboy life of a century ago.
For hunting enthusiasts, the Burgess Y Ranch is a dream come true. The North Texas region is known for its diverse wildlife, including trophy whitetail and mule deer, Bobwhite quail, wild hog, javelina, and various predators. With neighboring ranches such as Wolf Creek, the McAdams, and Lowrance Ranches, this vast expanse of unspoiled ranch country offers exceptional hunting opportunities with the potential for impressive trophy game.
Ensuring ease of access and efficient management, the Burgess Y Ranch features good to excellent perimeter and interior fencing, dividing the land into 25 spacious pastures, some exceeding 2,000 acres each, facilitating rotational grazing. Pipe-gated entrances at major access points allow seamless transitions between pastures and secure roadway entrances. The presence of oil production on the northern section of the ranch, along with large transmission lines and a well-maintained interior road system, ensures convenient access to every corner of the vast 39,500+/- acre property.
