The property is flanked by both Hawkins Creek and Lafamo Creek which comprises portions of the western and southern areas. Much of the land consists of improved and native pastures, complemented by mature timber blocks that create continuous wildlife habitat. The ranch boasts abundant water sources, including a 1.47-acre pond near the house and a 3.3-acre pond just west of the hay meadow.

Location: Rocking B Ranch is located in north-central Gregg County, just east of White Oak, Texas. It is approximately 3 miles west of Loop 281 in Longview, on the south side of McBride Road, and only a 2-hour drive from downtown Dallas. The physical address is 2101 Rocking B Ranch Rd., Longview, Texas 75604.

Terrain & Wildlife Habitat: The ranch’s undulating topography ranges between 290 and 370 feet above sea level, with some floodplains along the southern and western edges. The property features a diverse landscape, including mature hardwood stands, dense bedding areas for deer and other wildlife, and beautiful open pastures. Both native and improved pastures wind through the ranch, offering opportunities for grazing cattle, hunting, trail riding, and hay production. The native deer population thrives on the property, providing year-round enjoyment.

The timber stands include red and white oaks, black gum, persimmon, and willow and river birch along the riparian zones. The northern and central sections of the ranch feature well-maintained pastures, recently used for hay production.

Soil: The majority of the property has sandy loam soils. Lulus fine sandy loam, which is prone to flooding, is found along the drainage areas on the western and southern parts of the ranch. This area generally drains well and is not completely inundated during floods. Moving northward, the ranch features Cuthbert and Bowie fine sandy loams, which are ideal for pastureland. With the proper lime and fertilizer applications, these soils can reach their full potential.

Improvements: The ranch features a custom-built 5,450-square-foot home with 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. The living area welcomes you with an open floor plan and a soaring 28-foot wood-beamed vaulted ceiling in the family room, complemented by a large stone fireplace. The oversized kitchen boasts designer and chef-grade stainless steel appliances (Wolf 60 range, Sub-Zero 60 refrigerator, warming drawer, microwave/toasting oven), a grand seating island, and a prep island.

The master suite features oversized windows that flood the room with natural light, offering stunning views of the pool and ponds. The spacious custom closets are outfitted with built-in dressers, hanging space, shoe racks, and storage for personal items. Each secondary bedroom has a private bathroom and walk-in closet for privacy and convenience.

A formal office/library, adorned with rich wooden bookshelves, offers an inspiring and productive setting. A secondary office, which could also serve as a workout room or playroom, is available for those who work from home. The home offers abundant storage at every turn, including a walk-in attic for seasonal items.

Outside, the estate’s best views unfold. A sparkling pool with a soothing waterfall overlooks two fishing ponds, with geese nesting nearby and deer grazing in the distance. Additional amenities include a 25kW Generac home generator, a home security system, ample storage, and parking for guests. The home is equipped with three tankless water heaters, a central vacuum system, spray foam insulation, and a large laundry room with a built-in dog wash.

Adjacent to the house is a 3,000-square-foot barn for equipment and UTV storage.
