If you’re looking for a true getaway out into the wilds of Texas, a place to form your own kingdom without relinquishing modern comforts, this might be the place for you. You’ll have to trek into West Texas to get there, but it might be worth the wait.
3T Ranch is now for sale, offering more than 985 acres, some 12 miles south-southwest of Abilene, for $8.25 million. The size of the property, which comes with high fences and multiple water wells, has plenty of room for aspiring cattle ranchers, but the hilltop headquarters are the true attraction.
A newly constructed party barn comes with a commercial kitchen, pool and patio perfect for housing any number of guests after a long day in the Texas sun. On top of that, car enthusiasts will appreciate a garage fit for a Jay Leno-style showroom, which also comes with a personal gym. Hunters, or gun enthusiasts for that matter, will appreciate the ranch’s literal gun bunker, fit to arm anyone from Rambo to Burt Gummer from Tremors.
If the gun bunker didn’t make it clear, 3T Ranch is perfect for hunters worldwide. The property offers rolling terrain with live oak, cedar and red oak, capable of housing any number of exotic wildlife. Hunters can take advantage of multiple feed lots and hunting blinds, as well as a $60,000 observation tower that gives a 360-degree view of nearly 1,000 acres.
Once the hunt is done, the future owners can kick back and relax at their 3,500-square-foot barndominium, complete with four bedrooms, three bedrooms, and porches specifically positioned to provide scenic views.
“3T Ranch is a well-rounded property that checks a lot of boxes that are genuinely hard to find together in one offering,” Real Estate Partner Brett Grier wrote in the listing from Hall and Hall. “The water situation alone, with seven producing freshwater wells, sets it apart from most recreational ranches in West Texas. The improvements have been built over time with a clear purpose and are in good condition. The party barn and pool complex give this ranch entertainment and event capabilities that go well beyond the typical hunting camp, and the commercial kitchen and AV infrastructure make it a functional venue for large groups.”
