The Land:
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Peace and tranquility define this beautiful 335+/- acre ranch in the heart of cutting horse country. Located on the Parker/Hood County line and only 45 minutes to Ft. Worth, the gently rolling terrain includes income producing pecan orchards and hay fields, 3 tanks and numerous cleared trails for ATVs or horses. A private road runs the entire length of the property - starting at the Austin Stone entry, around the barns and the 5,810 square foot home to the boathouse and campgrounds at the Brazos River. The grounds around the home and the main barn are manicured, landscaped and irrigated. On the western horizon are green hills that provide a perfect backdrop for sunset views, but the most impressive features of the land are the trees. Lush, giant trees in every direction give the illusion that the city is hours away.
