687.6 acres in Leon County, Texas
Clapps Creek Ranch located just south of Centerville, is probably the best traditional white tail hunting ranch to be offered on the market in quite some time. It is comprised of 687.6 acres of prime white tail habitat that has proven itself by growing some very impressive deer over the years. The perimeter of this ranch is completely high fenced and has been under extensive management for the last 14 years, while also implementing a year around feeding program to provide the best possible nutrition at the optimal time. The terrain of the ranch is gently rolling hills with some flat prairie-like grass lands scattered around. There are areas where the hardwoods are very thick and typical of this region, but there is also some good brush country that transitions into the grassy prairie areas. The hunting blinds are all custom made and are absolutely top notch in both quality and durability and every stand is over a feeder in a food plot with multiple shooting lanes that support all skill levels. The deer population on the ranch is comprised mostly of native genetics that have been culled to the owners liking and then introduced to some hand picked genetics through natural breeding in “soft pens” and then released. Now, let’s talk about fishing! Clapps Creek Ranch features two different large lakes that were constructed with one goal in mindto grow trophy fish. The largest lake is approximately 10 acres that has been managed intensively for trophy bass for 14 years and it has paid off. The largest fish caught to date is right at 13 lbs and it was promptly weighed, measured, photographed, and released back into the lake for future “lunkers” to be grown. The other lake is approximately 7 acres and is stocked with channel cats and crappie. Both of these lakes were built with siphon pipes in the dam as well as secondary spillways for the unexpected torrential downpours and both lakes have watersheds that are in the hundreds of acres. In addition, there are 5 smaller ponds for waterfowl and for habitat support that are strategically placed around the ranch. The structural improvements on Clapps Creek Ranch are best described as simply elegant and tasteful. The main lodge is 1600 sq ft and boasts 4 bedrooms with 3 bathrooms as well as a huge common area made up of the kitchen, dining, and living area. There is also a 12 foot deep by 40 foot long covered front porch for relaxing and telling stories about just how big that deer or fish really was! There is a 30×80 structure that has a 25×30 vehicle parking area, a 30×30 fully enclosed and insulated feed storage and ATV shed, and a 25×30 covered game cleaning area complete with stainless steel table, hot running water, electric winch hoist system, and the all important walk-in cooler for game storage. The “big barn” is a 50×75 fully insulated metal building on a slab consisting of a 50×50 shop area with roll up doors and a 25×50 fully insulated and enclosed RV shed with the appropriate electric hook ups for an RV that also has a roll up door. Running the full length across the back of this building is a 30×75 covered equipment storage area.
