The North Star Land & Cattle Company Ranch
A rare opportunity to own one of the most famous ranches in Texas, the North Star Land and Cattle Company in Winona, Texas. This 2,200 acre showplace has breathtaking views, highly improved pastures, creeks, lakes, wetlands and a potential lake site covering approximately 200 acres.
North Star Land & Cattle Company is located in a prime location midway between Dallas and Shreveport, just North of Interstate 20 near Tyler. This ranch offers a glimpse of nature at its finest, providing a paradise for the outdoor lover, rancher, developer, hunter or fisherman. There are over 300 acres currently under high fence and the natural wildlife areas, covered with tall pines and hardwoods, offer an abundance of wildlife, including deer, ducks, dove, wild hogs and other fur-bearing animals. Fishermen will enjoy the well stocked lakes with bass, crappie, bream and catfish.
As you enter the ranch through the original stone entry, a paved drive winds across two 4 acre lakes, bringing you to the main house, a 6,900 sq. ft. stone/wood home. Recently remodeled with 5 living areas, new hand scraped hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, granite countertops and balconies overlooking this lakeside setting with a 2,450 sq. ft. deck with stone cooking center, perfect for entertaining. The guest cottage is 2000 sq. ft. and has also been completely remodeled, including a beautiful patio with outdoor fireplace overlooking the lake.
Under construction is a state-of-the-art stone/cedar hunting lodge/conference and office center. Other amenities include a lighted tennis court with fully appointed locker room, a rustic office building/club house, work shop and 3 barns, one of which is a six stall horse barn with an upstairs apartment.
There are two new sets of cattle pens. The main working facility is approximately 150' x 100' with running water, electricity, hydraulic chute and commercial bulk scale on site. There are 1400 acres of pastureland configured in a MIG format, with over 80 paddocks and connecting lanes, all with access to water. Pasture improvements include 200 acres of irrigated "Tifton 85" Bermuda grass, and an extensive soil fertility program including liming, poultry litter and other enhancements. There are plans to add an additional 250 acres of irrigation (making a total of 500 irrigated acres) using the "K-Line" irrigation system, all supported by 4 new water wells.
This is the finest turnkey cattle ranch available in East Texas.
