$180 Million Texas Ranch Listed After Recovery from Major Wildfire
Turkey Track Ranch, a historic 77,721-acre property in the Texas Panhandle, has returned to the market for $180 million. The ranch was previously withdrawn after suffering damage from the Smokehouse Creek Fire of February 2024—the largest wildfire in Texas history—which burned about 60% of its land and caused significant losses. Following recovery efforts including regrowth of vegetation, new fencing, and restoration of cattle operations, the owners have decided to relist it for sale. The ranch is notable for its extensive water resources, including access to the Canadian River, eight creek basins, natural springs, and the Ogallala Aquifer. It also features 64 wells and five irrigation pivots covering nearly 838 acres of farmland. The property has a long history of conservation efforts dating back to the 1950s drought. Icon Global founder Bernard Uechtritz emphasized that Turkey Track is one of America’s rarest ranches, with over a century of family ownership and significant historical value tied to events like the Adobe Walls battles. The listing includes a 25% mineral stake in addition to land.
