Size: 1,463 acres ~ Diamond D Whitetail Ranch and Breeding Facility
This is a portion of the 3,762 acre Diamond D Whitetail Ranch.
Location: In northern Runnels County, just 30 minutes south of Abilene, Texas
Terrain: The entire property is very scenic and has the feel of being remote even though you are only 25 miles from Abilene, TX. With elevation changes approaching 500 feet, and being the highest point in Runnels County provides for breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. The habitat consists of a mix of cedars and mesquite with shinery and live oak trees scattered throughout. The vegetation has natural spatial openings that provide good grass cover.
Water: There is a 14 acre and 32 acre lake, with the 32 acre lake being one of the best private fisheries in the state. This lake has produced a number of bass over 10 pounds, and being a fairly new lake, the fishery has not yet reached its full potential.
Wildlife: The entire high fenced area currently has whitetail deer previously on the property and also some genetically improved deer from the breeding facility. The ranch is divided into 6 different herd fence pastures. The owner has released over 150 bucks in the last 2 years in these pastures. Some bucks now will score over 200" B&C. The largest buck taken in the last 2 years scored 208" B&C. The ranch is currently under the Texas Parks and Wildlife MLD program as a Level III ranch.
Wild turkeys are abundant on the ranch with birds roosting in live oaks near the house part of the year. Bobwhite quail, dove, and waterfowl are seen regularly on the property.
Improvements: The 1,463 acre portion of the Diamond D Whitetail Ranch has 2 main homes. The first home was built in 1999 with 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, kitchen, and den. This currently is the Ranch Manager’s house. The main, owner's house, was built in 2001 and is an Austin Stone 4 bedroom, 2 bath, with den, media room, and kitchen. It has a patio and hot tub overlooking one of the most beautiful views in Texas.
A good road system is intact to the house and throughout the property. With the abundance of rock in the upland areas and climate being arid, the property is accessible all year long. The .7 mile road to the top of the mountain and main house is concrete, with an irrigation system and landscape lighting.
The ranch has 7.5 miles of 2” water lines encompassing the property. It is served by both North Runnels County Water District and Coleman County Water District. In addition, the Lake Ivie to Abilene 30” waterline travels along the county road inside of the property. There are three 2” taps and access to the water for livestock watering.
Breeding Facility: The breeding facility located on the Diamond D Whitetail Ranch is one of the largest in the state of Texas. There are 87 breeding pens encompassing nearly 150 acres, with each having fresh water piped into them. Each of these pens has lanes leading to the state of the art working facility.
Minerals:

The owner has leasing rights to 2 oil wells. Any mineral rights that the owner currently has will go with the property. Other than the 2 wells owned by the current owner, there is no other production on the ranch. All wind rights will also convey with the property.
Tax Info: This portion of the Diamond D Whitetail Ranch has approximately $4,000,000 in depreciable assets, including 250 whitetails in the breeding facility.
