The Barbell Ranch, an 830-acre high-fenced hunting property located in Sweetwater, Texas, is being offered as a fully turnkey operation for a seamless ownership transition. Approximately 240 acres adjacent to the property is also available (total of 1,071 acres).
Every asset essential for immediate operation will be conveyed to the new owner, including deer blinds, feeders, ATVs, mineral interests, hunting clientele list, and more, providing all that’s needed to continue operations from day one.

The property has been well managed, offering the next owner a range of options for maintaining operations. Experienced hunting guides, who are deeply familiar with the land, are available to assist and ensure continuity for existing clientele. The current owner also has a recommended team of ranch workers who can continue property maintenance or manage operations independently, should the new owner choose to pursue an absentee arrangement.

A mobile home is located on the ranch, providing excellent accommodations for contractors or staff while you build your new home or hunting lodge. It could also serve as housing for a ranch manager or full-time staff members who will oversee the property. This flexibility allows for various options to suit your needs as you develop the ranch further.

The elk herd, introduced in the 1990s, has been carefully managed over the years. These elk are registered with the North American Elk Breeders Association, and all documentation will be conveyed with the sale. In addition, the ranch is home to trophy Whitetail, featuring genetics from the Triangle Ranch, and a thriving population of Axis and Scimitar-Horned Oryx, each population expertly managed to support healthy growth.

The Barbell Ranch presents a rare opportunity to step into a turnkey hunting operation with an established foundation. The groundwork is laid; now it’s time for a new owner to lead this exceptional property into its next chapter.
