As you enter The Double Bend Ranch, you’ll cross over the picturesque Gibson Branch Creek before reaching the expansive open pasture on the northeast side, which is covered in improved grasses. This 34-acre coastal pasture is highly productive, typically yielding two to three cuttings of hay per year. Moving further into the property, the terrain becomes more rugged and heavily wooded with large oaks, mesquites, and cedars, creating a prime habitat for deer, turkey, and other wildlife. The diverse topography includes natural trails, varied elevations, and scenic views, making it perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, hunters, or those seeking a peaceful escape.
The rock ranch house provides both comfort and practicality.

Supporting the ranch’s operations are several well-maintained structures.
A red hay barn, located on 12 acres with a separate entrance, features a concrete floor and electricity, providing ample storage for equipment and feed. A 1,008-square-foot garage, built in 1983, offers additional space, while a newer 2,500-square-foot equipment barn, constructed in 2017, adds significant utility to the property. Two indoor storage houses, measuring 484 and 330 square feet, offer plenty of secure space for tools and supplies.
