Less than a mile from Omaha and 20 minutes from Mt Pleasant, lies the 504 +/- acre gorgeous pasture hills of this North East Texas ranch. 49 inches of rainfall a year maintains the green grass and the 11 ponds full of water. There are multiple beautiful hilltops overlooking the ranch that would be ideal for house locations. FM 144 borders the ranch on the eastern side for a mile and a half and CR 3311 borders on the west for over a mile. Centuries-old awe-inspiring post oak trees are scattered across the ranch, providing shade for cattle and wildlife. Historically managed as a cattle operation, the ranch supports between 150-200 pairs. If you are looking for a gorgeous pasture place with world-class views, this one is worth looking at.

Topography, Rangeland & Habitat
Intentionally designed as a cattle ranch this property is split into multiple rolling pastures of improved grasses where up to 200 cow-calf pairs can be rotated frequently to maintain the prime rangeland condition. 5 seasonal wet weather creek systems cut through the property feeding the many ponds and extenuating the large amount of elevation change. Evenly spread across the property are mature post oaks, red oaks, and other hardwood species, giving credence to the property’s historic land type within the post oak savannah. These trees provide valuable shade for livestock, hard mast protein for avian and mammal species, and spectacle to the outdoorsman and land steward. Several of the property’s ponds feature shallow water wetland areas which provide food and roosting opportunities for various waterfowl species migrating southward.
Wildlife
Although the ranch is grazing focused, the arrangement of drainages, scattered hardwoods, and ponds create a draw for a variety of wildlife species, including white-tailed deer, wild hogs, coyotes, bobcats, doves, and waterfowl who use the property’s many ponds.
Agriculture
The property has been historically used as a working ranch and therefore does not have any living quarters or related improvements; however, in the center of the property, there is a haybarn totaling 4,000 sf, as well as a set of well-placed functional working pens. The property’s exterior and interior fencing allow for turn-key use of the property’s grazing potential.
Water
The ranch has a total of 11 ponds tactically located across the property’s interior pastures, supporting distributed grazing and acting as an attractant for both wildlife and waterfowl. There are no water wells present on the property, but water is provided by Tri-City Special Utility District.
Electricity
Power is present throughout the property and along both road frontages.
 
Minerals
Surface estate only.
 
Area History
Omaha, Texas, originally named Morristown in 1880 and briefly known as Gavett, was renamed “Omaha” in 1886 when residents drew names from a hat—chosen by Hugh Ellis after his Alabama hometown. Nestled in timbered eastern Morris County, the town grew from a Cotton Belt Railway stop into a trading center, offering rolling pasturelands and small-town charm that appeal to today’s ranch buyers.
