Turkey Track Ranch, a historic 77,721-acre property in the Texas Panhandle, is returning to the market for $180 million following its recovery from the largest wildfire in Texas history. The Smokehouse Creek Fire of February 2024 ravaged about 60% of the ranch's rangeland, causing significant damage to livestock, destroying 500 buildings, and claiming two human lives.
The property's owners initially withdrew the ranch from the market for recovery, but recent improvements have reignited interest. Now, with robust regrowth of native vegetation, 65 miles of new fencing installed, and the cattle operation back in full swing, Turkey Track Ranch is again available. Spanning across Caprock country to the Canadian River, the ranch is equipped with 26 miles of Canadian River frontage, eight major creek basins, natural springs, and 64 water wells.
The water resources are particularly valuable, having been enhanced through conservation efforts dating back to the 1950s. Beyond its natural assets, Turkey Track Ranch boasts a rich history, including the sites of the 1864 and 1874 Adobe Walls battles and a 25% mineral stake. Representing the fifth generation of Coble and Whittenburg family ownership, the ranch offers a rare opportunity to acquire a landmark of American ranching and shape its future for generations to come.
