3C Ranch Menard County

LOCATION:

Welcome to the 3C Ranch, a remarkable 2209.5 acre working ranch, conveniently situated just 5 miles northeast of Menard on a well-maintained county road. The 3C Ranch is a heritage ranch, having been owned by the same family for many years.

TOPOGRAPHY:

Much of the ranch topography is gently rolling with more dramatic views on the southwest side overlooking Scalp Creek. Soils vary from limestone hills to deeper black soils along the draws. Some of the draws have conservation dams, built to hold run off.
Hardwoods throughout the ranch include live oaks, mesquite, and other native brush, yet little to no cedar, creating a great wildlife habitat.

WILDLIFE/HUNTING:

Hunting on the 3C Ranch is outstanding, with plenty of deer, turkey, and hogs, and some axis in the area. The ranch has managed the deer herd, and results are evident with the quality and quantity of white tail deer. The neighboring ranches are all large, which is an added benefit.

FENCING:

The property is cross-fenced into 7 manageable pastures and 3 smaller traps for rotational livestock grazing. The metal livestock working pens are in excellent condition, and the fences are well-maintained. The ranch has a good road system, providing easy access by pick-up, ATV and other recreational vehicles.

WATER:

The ranch is well watered with 5 good water wells, of which 3 have electric pumps and 2 have windmills. There are 4 concrete reservoirs and water is piped throughout the ranch to all the pastures, traps, pens, and houses.

IMPROVEMENTS:

There are nice improvements on the ranch that are practical and well-maintained. The limestone home is approximately 2,100 square feet, built in the 1950s with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The house is very well-built and has been carefully preserved by the sellers. There is also a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom mobile home in good condition that has been used by hunters. Additionally, the property has a large metal equipment shed, a greenhouse, and several storage buildings.

SUMMARY:
