It has rolling East Texas topography, strong groundwater resources, and significant upside for further future development – all at just under two hours from the Dallas metroplex. This offering represents the north division of the overall 1,327+/- acres available and is part of the Red Barn Ranch on Lake Bob Sandlin.
Location
Red Barn Ranch is east of Winnsboro, Texas, and just under a two-hour drive from Dallas, or 1 hour from Tyler.
Topography, Rangeland & Habitat
Wildlife
Over 100 acres of floodplain and creek drainages have been strategically enhanced on the Red Barn Ranch with shallow water impoundments, levees, and water control systems to create excellent duck habitat in the heart of the Central Flyway. The area around Red Barn Ranch, hugging the southwestern shore of Lake Bob Sandlin, sits right in the heart of a main migratory route that funnels millions of ducks and geese south each winter from the prairies of Canada to the Gulf Coast. Here, the piney woods meet sprawling reservoirs, creating a haven for ducks like mallards, gadwalls, and widgeon, alongside divers such as ring-necked ducks, lesser scaup, and the occasional canvasback splashing down on bigger water. It’s not the volume of coastal marshes, but what it lacks in sheer numbers, it makes up for in solitude and scenery: fewer crowds, timber-lined sloughs, and that crisp, woody air that makes every cupped wingbeat feel earned.
White-tailed deer hunting is also a prime component of the Red Barn Ranch. Multiple enclosed and top-end deer blinds are strategically placed throughout the ranch, with 6 food plot locations, and complete with feeders in place.
The range, soils, food plots, and waterfowl impoundments were all put in place by the current owner with guidance from Michael Embrey, wildlife biologist and consultant.
In addition to the substantial Lake Bob Sandlin frontage and dock access, there are more than 8 other good-sized, stocked lakes, tanks, and ponds on various hillsides and at serene locations throughout the property that provide good bass fishing and other duck hunting opportunities. There are several newer fishing docks on them as well.
