Windswept Ranch

Located Top of the Hill Country, Windswept Ranch captures nature's beauty along with gorgeous hilltop views that are among the best in Bosque County, spectacular sunrises and sunsets and multiple homesites from which to take it all in. Set on 425 rolling acres (additional acreage available) the ranch has some of the highest elevations in the Bosque County, approximately 100' +/- of elevation change and plenty of topography to make it interesting as you drive around. Whether you're a hunter, equestrian, cattleman or you just enjoy riding around communing with nature, this ranch has something for everyone! While operated as a cow/calf cattle ranch, Windswept has a large and diverse wildlife population including Whitetail Deer, Turkey, Dove, Rabbit, Wild Hogs and more. The ranch has been lightly hunted through the years and neighboring properties are as well so there's an abundance of wildlife as evidenced by the really nice sheds that have been found throughout the ranch. The ranch has been thoughtfully cleared through the years to provide both strong grazing while protecting wildlife habitat. Because of the elevation changes, views and extensive tree cover, predominantly Live Oaks, the ranch "drives big" and feels larger than it is. Whether hunting, ranching or just watching the sun set with a cocktail, Windswept Ranch is a great place to experience it! Though they seem a world away while you're here, both DFW and ATX are easy drives from Walnut Springs. Located in northern Bosque County and home to the Bosque Cantina and Rattlesnake Roadhouse, Walnut Springs is convenient to Rough Creek Lodge, Glen Rose, Hico and Stephenville for when you feel like getting off the ranch and enjoying the local restaurants and shops or boating and fishing at nearby Lake Whitney. Drive time to FW is approximately 1 hr, 1:30 to Dallas and 2:15 to ATX. The ranch headquarters features a remodeled rock and cedar board and batten ranch house with a 12'x60' covered porch with a fenced in front yard that's perfect for entertaining and four legged family to play. The main house features generous sized rooms with lots of windows and has 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. The great room with wood ceilings and a large stone fireplace is perfect for entertaining friends and family or just reading a book by the fireplace on a cold winter's night. For peace of mind there is a propane fired back-up generator for the home, as well, and the house is designed with expansion in mind. If you're looking to build, there are numerous homesites on the ridges where you can build your dream home with spectacular views and dark starry nights. The ranch is set up for entertaining so there are two 2 bedroom/2 bath guesthouses with comfortable living rooms, covered front porches and a view of the swimming pool for family and friends. Built in the style of old West Texas water troughs, the 30' diameter pool features built in benches and a 30' Aermotor Windmill for that Texas touch. There's a 52'x40' pole barn adjacent to the houses for parking that could also be converted to a large outdoor living room. Additional structures include a small shop, tack room and barn along with holding pens and a corral with a squeeze chute. For horse lovers, there's a 60' Round Pen and Run-In in a fenced 10 acre horse trap.
