THE STORY
The Jordan family settled this country in the 1850s. The original Jordan Ranch was a five-thousand acre Erath County holding, one of the earliest family ranches in a region that would become Texas cattle country. This home was built into a piece of that legacy.
For the last twenty-eight years, one family has owned and worked the land. A small cow-calf operation ran on the larger ranch for more than two decades. The home was built in 2011 as the family compound, with careful attention to craft and material. The stone came from Texas. The mesquite is native. The iron banisters were hand-forged by a Western artisan in Colorado. A historic settler site from the mid 1800s sits just off the driveway. The original stone remains where it was set.
A home built to last generations.
