As a hunter's paradise, Mulberry Creek meanders throughout the property enhancing the wildlife habitat and natural beauty of the West Texas terrain. It features county road access and is ideally suited for hunting, ranching, or recreational activities. With two stock tanks, the tract provides the necessary water sources for wildlife and livestock. Abundant deer and hog signs were seen on the ranch during inspection and this area is also well known for great dove hunting. It is also noted that there have been many arrowheads and Indian artifacts found on the ranch. Seller has indicated areas where it is thought were Indian campsites. The ranch's topography varies, offering gently rolling hills and stunning views. Following a fire in 2019, the land has seen a resurgence of native grass and new growth trees, while some areas of thick cedar and mesquite brush remain, creating a diverse habitat for local wildlife. This Mulberry Canyon ranch offers a desirable destination for those seeking a great hunting or recreational retreat! The Seller will provide up to $10,000 in concessions to the Buyer to be applied toward property improvements. ## Location - **Address:** 167 acres TBD CR 343, Merkel, TX 79536 - **County:** Taylor - **Neighborhood:** T & P Rr Company Surv - **Coordinates:** 32.350388, -100.125905 - **Google Maps:** https://www.google.com/maps?q=32.350388,-100.125905 ## Virtual Tour & Media - **Video Tour:** https://www.propertypanorama.com/instaview/ntreis/21396846 ## Listing Agent - **Name:** Jerry Conring - **Brokerage:** Trinity Ranch Land - **Broker Phone:** (254) 442-4181 - **Listing URL:** [View original listing](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/County-Road-343_Merkel_TX_79536_M98056-08325?f=listhub&s=NTREIS&m=21396846&c=propsimple) ## Photos ![167 acres TBD CR 343 - Photo 1](http://lh.rdcpix.com/da680df469c04b41c4bff1ccaad1641bl-f1689751977r.jpg) ![167 acres TBD CR 343 - Photo 2](http://lh.rdcpix.com/da680df469c04b41c4bff1ccaad1641bl-f1200747877r.jpg) ![167 acres TBD CR 343 - Photo 3](http://lh.rdcpix.com/da680df469c04b41c4bff1ccaad1641bl-f1268041673r.jpg) ![167 acres TBD CR 343 - Photo 4](http://lh.rdcpix.com/da680df469c04b41c4bff1ccaad1641bl-f1189050327r.jpg) ![167 acres TBD CR 343 - Photo 5](http://lh.rdcpix.com/da680df469c04b41c4bff1ccaad1641bl-f3169330585r.jpg) ![167 acres TBD CR 343 - Photo 6](http://lh.rdcpix.com/da680df469c04b41c4bff1ccaad1641bl-f1013444993r.jpg) ![167 acres TBD CR 343 - Photo 7](http://lh.rdcpix.com/da680df469c04b41c4bff1ccaad1641bl-f2174812689r.jpg) ![167 acres TBD CR 343 - Photo 8](http://lh.rdcpix.com/da680df469c04b41c4bff1ccaad1641bl-f2934759542r.jpg) ![167 acres TBD CR 343 - Photo 9](http://lh.rdcpix.com/da680df469c04b41c4bff1ccaad1641bl-f3569038365r.jpg) ![167 acres TBD CR 343 - Photo 10](http://lh.rdcpix.com/da680df469c04b41c4bff1ccaad1641bl-f571652606r.jpg) --- **MLS#:** 21396846 | **Updated:** 2026-10-20 **Source:** listhub *Copyright © 2026 North Texas Real Estate Information Systems, Inc.
