Rio Vista Brazos is a ranch that embodies this rich heritage and natural beauty in every respect. Originally part of the historic McMurry Ranch, which was assembled in the late 1870s following the close of the Civil War, the property has had only two owners since that time—a remarkable testament to the rarity and significance of the offering. Perched nearly 150 feet above the banks of the Brazos River, the main residence overlooks historic Chick Bend with commanding panoramic views up and down the river corridor. The sprawling 10,170-square-foot residence was thoughtfully designed and custom built by the current owners, with exceptional attention given to every detail and amenity.

The home was envisioned and designed by the owners in collaboration with acclaimed architect David Oswald and was masterfully constructed by Mike Tincher, with completion in the fall of 2014.
