Ikard lake ranch is 1,216+/- acres of cattle country in the southern region of archer county, in what is now the ghost town of anarene, texas. This productive ranch has been owned and operated by the same partnership for the past 40 years and has been managed in a way to provide for a thriving cattle herd. The native grasses are in excellent shape as the owner purposely does not overgraze the property and has never run more than 75 head of cattle at a time. The ranch is split by edge road, with 585+/- acres on the south side and 631+/- acres on the north side. The entire property is native pasture with scattered mesquites as well as hackberry trees following along the numerous draws that traverse the ranch. The terrain is mostly rolling, except for some rocky hilltops on the northern portion. These hills are what make this part of the county unique and offer excellent views of the surrounding acreage. The surface water is excellent for this area. There are seven stock ponds, the largest being ikard lake (11. 5 acres when full) attracting dove and varieties of waterfowl. With large neighbors to the south and west and a multitude of game tracks scattered across the acreage, recreational hunting for whitetail and varmints should be outstanding. Ikard lake ranch is a successful cattle ranch that with the right ownership will continue to be an income-producing ranch as well as a recreational hunting retreat.

This ranch is in the anarene oil field and has had numerous oil wells drilled on it throughout the years. In certain parts of the property, you can see the remnants of past production sites, but most would only take a minimal amount of cleanup. There power lines throughout the property that went to old well sites, and there is a three-phase transmission station. This land has been an income-producing ranch for most of its existence, take this into account and know that with a little effort can be made into a lovely ranch.
