Turkey Track Ranch, a historic 77,721-acre property spanning from Caprock to the Canadian River in the Texas Panhandle, is back on the market for $180 million. The ranch was severely affected by the Smokehouse Creek Fire in February 2024, which burned over one million acres across the Texas Panhandle and into western Oklahoma. Over 46,000 acres of Turkey Track Ranch were scorched, leading to significant damage including loss of livestock and destruction of about 500 buildings.
The fire began when a utility pole fell and brought down live power lines adjacent to the ranch boundary. Despite these setbacks, the owners have restored the property with new fencing (approximately 65 miles) and restarted their cattle operation. The ranch's history also includes its connection to historical events like the 1864 and 1874 battles of Adobe Walls.
Turkey Track Ranch offers extensive water resources, including the Canadian River running through it for about 26 miles, eight major creek basins, natural springs, and 64 water wells. The property also includes cropland, grazing land, and infrastructure supporting its operations.
