Property Profile:
Road's End Ranch is one of the premier ranches in East Texas.
Road's End Ranch is a perfect combination of improved pastures and woods, in a private setting of rolling hills and expanded vistas, with functional improvements tailor-made for entertaining and enjoyment. This ranch is a truly rare offering and can be purchased on a fully turn-key basis if desired.
From the wooded, gated and paved entrance road, to the headquarters compound (including your own Wild West Saloon) overlooking lush green hills and valleys of coastal bermuda pastures, cattle, and horses, to the heavily wooded areas along Big Sandy Creek, this ranch offers the best of everything.
Springs, long frontage on year-round, live-water Big Sandy Creek, another year-round creek, woods teeming with deer, turkey, ducks, hogs, rabbits, squirrels, and other wildlife, miles of pipe fencing, high fencing, highly-improved coastal (including Tifton 85) pastures, a main house, foreman's house, two guest houses, two cozy cabins, all houses fully furnished and in excellent condition, eight ponds, horse barn and tack room, equipment barn, commercial timber, and all the equipment needed to run and maintain the ranch.
Road's End Ranch is your utopia, a world away from big-city stress and troubles, yet only two hours from Dallas, fifteen minutes north of IH 20, and 25 minutes from Tyler and Longview.
Leave your office at 5 pm on Friday and be riding the range (on horseback, Gator, or 4-wheeler) and grilling steaks for family and friends behind the Old West Guesthouse as you watch the orange, pink and purple skies of a fading sun give way to a wide night sky filled with stars and the quiet sounds of nature.
Make Road's End Ranch your ultimate escape.
