357 Ranch has been transformed to meet and exceed the expectations of the most discerning recreational ranch owner, combining rugged landscapes with high-end amenities and multiple ways to enjoy the property. An exquisitely appointed main home is complemented by an equally impressive lodge with its own pool and a 19th-century cabin that is a favorite with guests. 357 Ranch gained its name from the 357 acres it encompasses.

The fertile bottom ground is mostly sandy loam soils and riparian areas where Cranes, Ducks, Geese, and other waterfowl reside most of the year. Native grasses and plants grow throughout spring, summer, and fall providing excellent browse for White Tail Deer. The 4,782 square foot main home with stone walls and wood ceilings offers natural light and panoramic views through expansive windows on the southern exposure.
