Overview: Nestled in the heart of the historic Clear Creek Valley in Cooke County, Rolling R Ranch is a remarkable legacy property that represents a rare opportunity to own one of North Texas' most captivating landscapes. Encompassing approximately 1,303 contiguous acres, the ranch combines rich agricultural heritage, exceptional recreational value, and the natural beauty that has attracted families to the valley for generations. Defined by more than 2.5 miles of Clear Creek, mature hardwood forests, native grasslands, and ancient pecan groves, the property's diverse landscape supports productive cattle operations while offering outstanding hunting, fishing, horseback riding, and outdoor recreation. Rolling R Ranch was not acquired as a finished property. Instead, it was thoughtfully assembled and carefully shaped over nearly 30 years by the current owner through the acquisition of adjoining acreage and a long-term vision centered on stewardship, family, and the outdoors. Every major decision-from the placement of homes, trails, and scenic overlooks to grazing management and wildlife habitat conservation-was made to preserve the ranch's natural character while enhancing its functionality and beauty. The result is a property that reflects decades of intentional land stewardship and planning, designed with future generations in mind. The ranch's dramatic topography and timeless character sets it apart from virtually every other offering in the region. More than 100 feet of elevation change unfolds across sharp ridges and scenic overlooks, revealing breathtaking panoramic views of the Clear Creek Valley below. From sunrise casting golden light across the creek bottoms to vibrant Texas sunsets stretching across the horizon, the ranch's elevated vantage points offer an ever-changing backdrop showcasing the very best of Cooke County. The improvements have been thoughtfully positioned to preserve the property's commanding views while encouraging outdoor living. The main ranch home is in a park-like setting featuring professional landscaping, flagstone walkways, a swimming pool, and a hot tub that seamlessly blend into the surrounding landscape. Complementing the residence is an exceptional equestrian barndominium with well-appointed living quarters, strategically positioned so the owner can enjoy close proximity to the horses. Located near the historic Chisholm Trail and Butterfield Overland Mail Route, Rolling R Ranch occupies one of North Texas' most historically significant landscapes. Historic pioneer trail remnants, nearby frontier landmarks, and connections to the legend of Sam Bass add another layer to the property's rich history. Despite its remarkable sense of seclusion, expansive views, and exceptional natural diversity, the ranch is located approximately 75 minutes from the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, making it ideally suited for family retreats, recreation, equestrian pursuits, and working ranch operations. Recreation: Beyond its exceptional hunting opportunities, the Rolling R Ranch has been thoughtfully enjoyed as a place for outdoor recreation and family adventure. An extensive network of trails winds through the property, providing miles of routes well suited for hiking, mountain biking, and enduro riding while showcasing the ranch's diverse terrain, hardwood forests, limestone ridges, and native grasslands. More than 2.5 miles of Clear Creek invite endless exploration. A long-standing family tradition known simply as 'creeking' involves walking the creek from one end of the ranch to the other, discovering limestone ledges, clear pools, wildlife, and artifacts from days gone by. It is an experience that has become a defining part of the ranch for multiple generations. A dedicated camping area, complete with elevated tent platforms and a fire pit, provides an ideal gathering place for overnight stays beneath the stars.

Duck Island is a 1,586 acre hunting and fishing oasis surrounded by the Red River to the north and a 390 acre private lake to the south. A gated entrance grants access to the only road in to this sportsman's paradise with a huge private lake, open fields, dense woods and scattered trees that lure every species of wildlife in north Texas and southern Oklahoma.The island was created when the Red River changed course from a south sweeping oxbow to a more direct path to the east. The result was an island that spans the Texas and Oklahoma border completely cut off from all sides. The channel carved out by the river became an expansive 390 acre crescent shaped lake with steep banks to the south and shallow banks on the island's shore. A road was built across the lake, 700 acres of the island was cleared and a pivot irrigation sprinkler installed using water from the lake to irrigate the fertile alluvial soils. The remaining 850 acres varies from riparian habitat to scattered trees and dense woods. Duck Island's location on the Red River, surrounded by water, and the fact that it has only one way in or out makes it a natural haven for migratory birds, deer, turkey and amazing fishing opportunities. The size of this property vastly expands it's recreational value and the location is a rare combination of seclusion and easy access to services. The lake is deep and wide enough for nearly any water sport and the land offers everything from marshes and river bottoms to open fields then dense woods.
