Additional Broker Comments:  This place has been thoughtfully designed and loved by a family for over 30 years. As an engineer by trade, Mr. Perley thoughtfully designed every aspect of the home and shop to provide practical support to whatever new project or invention he would create.  You need to see it all to appreciate the level of top-tier, careful design that can only come from years of experience building things that last…something that’s largely been lost in our culture of consumerism. 

Outdoor activities on the Perley Gate Ranch are sure to create many memories for you and yours.  The wildlife travel corridor provided by the seam of a seasonal creek bed is an aesthetically pleasing and functionally rich for wildlife edge habitat.  A habitat that supports turkey, deer, feral hogs, dove, and quail when the weather pattern cooperates. 

Arrange a tour today and you won’t be disappointed. You cannot buy raw land of this nature and replace what these improvements offer.  Modest in style and thoughtful in design, make the time to see it for yourself.  

Directions: From Cisco, Take US 183 North for 4.4 miles to the gate entrance on the East side of the highway.
