Double Diamond Ranch is a 142± acre live water recreational ranch near Kaufman on Country Road 104 in East Texas. The ranch has much to offer for the outdoor recreationist, the cattleman, or the nature lover! Come experience this wonderful piece of diverse grassland, rich creek bottom, and abundant water.   This is a live water ranch, with about 0.6 miles of Williams Creek making up the southeastern boundary.  There's also a 4-acre lake and several other smaller ponds that are all stocked, making this property a gem for recreational and cattlemen alike. There are about 34 acres of floodplain along Williams Creek. There are about 20 acres of the forested floodplain and 17 acres of upland wooded areas, with the remaining 85 acres mostly pasture or hayfield with a few scattered trees.   There are abundant white-tailed deer, feral hogs, and furbearers. If you like bird hunting, there's seasonally abundant waterfowl on the 3 ponds, a 4.5-acre lake, and 0.6 miles of frontage on Williams Creek.  There is also a possible location for creating a large, 2 to 5-acre managed water duck marsh.   Dove hunting can be seasonally good, especially if some plantings are made or weedy areas are encouraged. The property has a 4800 SF, 60x80 FT dirt floor barn in the middle and an unfinished 1 bedroom, 2-bathroom barndominium with about 1400 SQFT of living space near the front of the property. With some finishing touches, this would make a great hunting cabin or weekend home, or it could be gutted and started over.   The property's soil consists of kemp loam, Axtell fine sandy loam, and Lufkin-Rader complex.  They are productive for wildlife and cattle and will grow hay and crops as a new owner sees fit. Most of the pastures are diverse, with many naturally occurring pollinator plant species and native grasses finding their way in. Whether you’re into running cattle, recreating, or just enjoying nature, this property has it all. Of note, a small old, 1800's cemetery sits in the middle of the property.
