Description: Set upon an elevated red clay mesa with a hawk eyes view of the wild and untamed land below, Terra Rosa serves as the quintessential Texas hunting ranch. An immense herd of elk introduced over two decades ago roam among the native mule and white tail deer. Get lost on the 29,594 acre ranch between the ridgelines and mesas that characterize the landscape of the expansive property. With over 32 blinds, 30 corn feeders and 19 fenced protein feeders, the ranch is outfitted purposefully for avid hunters and outdoorsman. Additionally, there are 12 food plots, 10 wheat fields, and over 40 windmills and solar wells strategically placed across the property providing ample supplies of food and water for the wildlife. Lodging on the property is divided among two main places on the property commonly referred to as the Old and New Terra Rosa Lodges. At the original site, you will find bunk houses, lodging, barns, an AI breeding facility, and much more.
Improvements: The original lodge on the property is over 1,800 sq. ft. and is accompanied by a bunk house and hired hand housing. The newer lodge, was built to rival the original housing and is set strategically on a high mesa creating panoramic views of the property off the back porch. Designed on an open living concept, the lodge was meant to entertain a crowd. Features to boast include a large gourmet kitchen complete with a Viking range, multiple Subzero refrigerators, two dishwashers, and custom knotty alder cabinets. The 12-foot long kitchen island is ideal for catering meals to feed a large group. In addition, the bar area includes an ice maker, wine fridge, and high-top bar for serving ice cold beverages. The massive 8-foot wide stone hearth opposite the kitchen was built to impress. In addition, the back porch mirrors the hearth inside with its own outdoor fireplace complete with custom iron-worked screen featuring the Terra Rosa brand. Dawn and dusk are to be spent on the patio with the breathtaking views of sunrise and sunset. Just off the porch an incredibly striking full body copper elk statue characterizes the lodge perfectly as it stands majestically on the edge of the mesa. Close to the main lodge are 3 smaller cabins each furnished with 2 queen beds and have an attached bathroom with a full size shower, sink, and closet. The cabins have impressive cathedral style ceilings and in addition, have central heating and air.
