A 160-acre ranch that is been property to dozens of champion horses is up for grabs.
ARGYLE, Texas — If you’ve ever sat in your cubicle and dreamt a lifestyle of ranching, driving and roping, then we observed you a deal.
6 homes, even extra barns, and an in-ground pool, to boot.
And you would not even have to depart North Texas.
Oh, and you’ll require about $20 million.
Which is the heading price tag for the Fossil Gate Farms ranch in Argyle, stated by broker Layne Walker of Chas S. Middleton and Son.
The Middleton and Son brokerage is no stranger to significant-finish ranches in Texas they are also offering the late Boone Pickens’ Mesa Vista Ranch (mentioned at $170 million) in the Panhandle, and they brokered the sale of the “Yellowstone”-well-known 4 Sixes Ranch (initially mentioned at $341 million) in Guthrie.
But both of those of all those ranching houses are far from North Texas.
Fossil Gate Farms is ideal in the coronary heart of it, located off Interstate 35W and Sam Davis Highway, in between expanding developments from the Alliance region of Far North Fort Well worth up to Denton.
Fossil Gate, which sits on 160 acres, was owned by Linda Gordon, a longtime quarter-horse breeder who handed absent in December. Gordon and her husband, Gary, who died in 2018, lifted dozens of champion halter horses at Fossil Gate.
And Fossil Gate’s services back up that pedigree.
The assets contains a present barn with a lined arena a stud barn two mare barns two barns that have stalls for mares and colts and an devices and shavings barn.
If you’re in the market place for that lots of barns, you can know what every single just one is for.
The arena and stud barns both equally come geared up with rubber flooring down the center, 18 and 16 stalls, respectively, and a heating and air program.
And that’s just the ranch facet of items.
The assets also involves 6 homes, ranging in dimension from 600 sq. feet to 5,500 sq. feet.
The ranch owner’s dwelling is the biggest on the house and consists of a back balcony overlooking an in-floor pool. The ranch manager’s property is 3,600 square toes with a two-motor vehicle garage and a big again deck.
In accordance to the residence listing, the ranch could also “have the prospect to be a huge development tract.” Subdivisions have been formulated in and all around Argyle, surrounding the ranch, and west side of the house, which operates alongside I-35W, will potentially be “zoned industrial alongside the prepared entry highway,” the listing said.
But Fossil Gate is just not an outlier in Denton County, which has been a combine of new advancement and ranch homes as just one of the top rated destinations for horse breeding in Texas. Denton County has far more than 300 horse farms, the most in Texas, according to Texas Highways.
The sandy loam soil and gentle local weather make the area best for year-spherical horse teaching, the magazine described.
