Description

Just minutes from downtown Denton, this extraordinary 247 acre ranch represents a rare opportunity to own a large, private estate in the direct path of North Texas growth. Combining a beautifully designed residential compound, productive pastureland, abundant wildlife habitat, and long-term investment potential, the ranch is ideally suited for a multi-generational family legacy property, luxury retreat, or future development opportunity.

The property blends the privacy and character of a classic Texas ranch with the convenience of immediate access to Denton's vibrant community, universities, and expanding infrastructure.

Improvements

At the heart of the ranch sits an impressive family compound anchored by a 95,000 gallon resort-style swimming pool, creating a central gathering space surrounded by four custom homes.

The residences include:

  • Home 1: 4 BR | 4.5 BA | 4,006 sq ft

  • Home 2: 5 BR | 4.5 BA | 3,895 sq ft

  • Home 3: 4 BR | 3.5 BA | 3,011 sq ft

  • Home 4: 5 BR | 5 BA | 3,883 sq ft

In addition, the ranch includes a high-quality modular home that serves perfectly as guest housing, ranch staff quarters, or a caretaker's residence.

Supporting ranch improvements include:

  • 45' x 75' insulated shop ideal for equipment storage, workshop space, or operational headquarters

  • 50' x 30' barn for livestock
  • Professional dirt bike track, offering a unique recreational feature for outdoor enthusiasts

  • Quality internal roads and ranch infrastructure

  • Fencing suitable for cattle grazing and livestock management

Land

The 247 acres feature rolling terrain with a balanced mix of improved pasture, scattered hardwoods, and open grazing land. The property has been meticulously maintained, resulting in clean pastures and a visually striking landscape that reflects pride of ownership.

The layout allows the ranch to function as both a working cattle property and a recreational retreat, with ample space for livestock, riding, and outdoor activities.

Its proximity to Denton also gives the ranch significant long-term development appeal, particularly for estate lots or luxury residential communities.

Water

Water is one of the defining characteristics of this property.

  • Clear Creek forms the entire northern boundary, creating a scenic and natural wildlife corridor.

  • Four ponds are scattered throughout the ranch, providing water for livestock, wildlife, great fishing, and enhancing the overall beauty of the property.

These water features provide both practical ranch utility and exceptional recreational value.

Wildlife & Recreation

The ranch offers outstanding wildlife habitat rarely found this close to a growing city. The Clear Creek corridor and surrounding timber create ideal conditions for native wildlife.

Game commonly seen on the property includes:

  • Whitetail deer

  • Wild turkey

  • Hogs

  • Bobcats and other small game

Combined with the ponds, creek frontage, and open pastureland, the ranch provides excellent opportunities for hunting, trail riding, ATV use, and outdoor recreation.

Investment & Legacy

Large ranches with multiple residences, water features, recreational amenities, and close proximity to a major North Texas city are becoming increasingly rare. Whether envisioned as a private family compound, corporate retreat, working ranch, or strategic land investment, this property offers an exceptional opportunity to own a premier piece of land in Denton County.

With its scale, infrastructure, and location just minutes from downtown Denton, this ranch stands as a true legacy property positioned for both enjoyment and long-term value.
