This serves the ranch as a Ranch Managers house and a hunters bunk house. The main, Owner's Home, was built in 2001 and is an Austin Stone 4 bedroom, 2 bath, with den, media room, and kitchen with open floorplan. It has a patio and rock fire pit overlooking the lake and has one of the most beautiful sunsets in West Texas.
A good road system is intact to the house and throughout the property and the property is accessible all year long. The 1 mile road to the top of the mountain and main house is paved with concrete and is accented with landscape lighting.
