Turn-Key 80± Acre Self-Sustaining Cattle Farm - Off-Grid Capable - Fully Improved
183 County Road 4309 Dekalb, TX 75559
Description
This exceptional 80± acre property offers a rare opportunity to own a fully self-sustaining, turn-key small cattle farm designed for efficiency, independence, and comfort. Thoughtfully developed and meticulously maintained, the property is ideal for livestock operations, homesteading, or anyone seeking an off-grid lifestyle—without giving up modern conveniences.
At the heart of the farm is a robust 14KW solar array paired with a 30KW battery bank and a Schneider Electric dual-inverter system, allowing the property to operate completely off-grid if desired. Water is abundant, with a 400+ foot-deep well (new pump installed in 2022), an additional well at the home (to be verified), a cistern, and three ponds, two of which were professionally constructed in 2024 with erosion control in place.
The land is cross-fenced into two pastures (approximately 30 acres and 50 acres) with a connecting gate, making rotational grazing simple and efficient across the full 80 acres. Improvements include a 24x40 pole barn with electric, a 25x32 barn with climate-controlled space on the south side, Zimmerman hi-tunnels, RV cover with 30-amp and 50-amp hookups, separate septic for RV use, outdoor shower and restroom facilities, and additional utility infrastructure that supports a working operation.
The 2-bedroom, 2-bath home (approx. 1,464 sq ft) was updated in 2025 and features multiple heating sources, including a pellet stove, propane heaters, and high-efficiency Cooper-Hunter mini-splits, along with modern cooling and upgraded hot water systems. The home may be conveyed furnished if desired, allowing for a seamless transition.
Additional highlights include a 20x25 pavilion with electric (water nearby for a future outdoor kitchen), multiple septic systems, and ample room to expand or customize. If you’re searching for a rare 80-acre, off-grid-capable cattle farm with the infrastructure already in place, this property delivers a level of preparedness and functionality that is increasingly hard to find.
