Located just minutes from downtown Denton, this exceptional 247 acre ranch offers a rare combination of privacy, recreation, and investment potential in one of North Texas’ fastest growing areas. The property is ideally suited for a family compound, luxury retreat, or future development opportunity, with the added benefit of being close to shopping, dining, and major highways while still maintaining a true ranch atmosphere. At the heart of the property sits a thoughtfully designed family compound featuring four custom homes, all positioned around a stunning 95,000 gallon resort style swimming pool that serves as the central gathering place for the estate. The layout allows for both shared family space and privacy for each residence, making it perfect for large families or hosting guests. The ranch is exceptionally well maintained with beautiful improved pastures fenced for cattle, offering both productivity and scenic views across the property. Four ponds provide water for livestock and wildlife while enhancing the overall landscape and recreational appeal. The north boundary of the ranch borders Clear Creek, creating a natural wildlife corridor that attracts abundant game including whitetail deer, turkey, wild hogs, and other native wildlife. This creek frontage provides excellent hunting opportunities rarely found so close to town. Improvements on the ranch include a 45x30 barn and a 45’ x 75’ insulated shop ideal for equipment storage, projects, or ranch operations. For recreation, the property also features a professionally built dirt bike track, adding a unique element for outdoor enthusiasts. With its combination of size, water features, multiple homes, quality improvements, and proximity to Denton, this property offers tremendous versatility. Whether envisioned as a private ranch estate, family legacy property, recreational retreat, or future development project, this ranch presents a truly unique opportunity to own a premier piece of North Texas land.
