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.

Improvements: Main Residence Positioned near the highest point on the ranch, with breathtaking views overlooking the Brazos River, sits one of the most remarkable private residences in the region. 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. The multi-level residence encompasses approximately 10,170± square feet of living space and includes 4 bedrooms, 2 bunk rooms, 5 full bathrooms, 3 half baths, 5 fireplaces, and an elevator. Designed to comfortably accommodate up to 22 guests, the home is exceptionally well suited for both family gatherings and entertaining on a grand scale. The kitchen is a true chef’s dream, featuring custom Poggenpohl cabinetry, premium Miele appliances, and a Wolf cooktop and range. Expansive windows throughout the primary living spaces frame sweeping views of the surrounding Palo Pinto countryside and provide seamless access to multiple patios and outdoor entertaining areas. On the lower patio level, a resort-style pool and hot tub create the perfect setting for relaxing with family and friends. The pool is equipped with an electric cover for protection from the elements. A whole-home Lutron system provides convenient control of lighting and access throughout the residence. Large sliding glass doors open from the main living and dining areas onto a covered patio featuring a fireplace and electric roll-up storm doors, allowing for year-round enjoyment regardless of weather conditions. The home is serviced by an extensive rainwater collection system with approximately 30,000 gallons of storage capacity, supported by a four-stage purification system that includes ultraviolet filtration. Every aspect of the residence was carefully considered and executed, resulting in a home that is truly one of a kind.
