Rocky Cedar Creek Ranch is a 475 +/- acre recreational and cattle ranch conveniently located 45 minutes east of downtown Dallas, TX. The recently completed main home is currently being utilized as a primary residence with a comfortable daily commute to and from Dallas. The land is rich with opportunity for the next owner to place their own fingerprints upon it. Water is plentiful with multiple tanks and ponds, in addition to over a mile of Rocky Cedar Creek that winds through the back of the property. Abundant wildlife inhabits the property, traveling the thick wooded landscape along the creek corridor and frequenting the lush open pastures in the morning and evening hours. Properties this size are becoming extremely hard to acquire within a 45-mile radius of Dallas.

One is just under 5 acres and the other is just under 9 acres. A good well supplies water to the homes and two water troughs for located in the pastures.
Wildlife and Hunting:
High tree-top canopies and thick brush along the banks of Rocky Cedar Creek gradually give way to open grazing pastures and wooded corridors throughout. The property's cover, plant community, and water resources provide natural habitat for native wildlife, such as white-tailed deer, wild boar, varmints, predatory animals, and migratory birds such as dove and waterfowl. Wildlife can often be observed from the comforts of the sprawling front and back porches.
Homes:
At the end of a 1.2-mile driveway sits a luxurious retreat atop a lush hay meadow.
Completed in 2020, the custom-built home is an updated version modeled after the 2013 Southern Living Idea House, which is now a boutique hotel outside of Nashville. The estate offers endless possibilities for living arrangements and provides the perfect setting as an entertainment venue.
