W5R Ranch

Welcome to the W5R Ranch, this historic farm is centrally located on Hwy 67 just 10 minutes west of Glen Rose, and 15 minutes from Stephenville or Hico. The farm was established in 1894 and thankfully the structures have been maintained over the past 128 years, with the most recent restoration occurring in 2017. Home- Inside, the 3-bedroom 2 bath home was expertly renovated to merge history, charm, and modern-day amenities into a residence suitable for day to day living, entertaining, or as an investment in the short-term rental market. Outside, the home was preserved with a new roof, new windows, new siding, and a new rock facade on the front. For outdoor enjoyment there is an attached 700sqft covered back porch, patio area with rock fire pit, and two additional gazebos with great views to the north and west. For additional storage, next to the home is a detached metal framed 24x30 garage. Barn- The amazing character of this 4,000sqft+, two-story, turn of the century barn is evident from the dry stack stone foundation, hand hewn cedar support posts and original pine floors. During restoration the barn was expanded on the back adding a deck with fantastic views of the property and surrounding countryside. Either side of the deck has storage rooms that would be perfect to build restroom facilities in. Land- Around the homestead is approximately 60ac with an ag valuation, bound by Hwy 67 on the south boundary and County Road 196 on the west boundary. The gentle downhill slope from the headquarters offers fantastic views of the property and surrounding hills. This mixed-use property has open pasture and areas of brush, this combined with two ponds creates an ideal landscape to support livestock grazing and wildlife species alike. Approximately 1/2ac of land is leased to Blackies Gas Stop for parking, and brings in approximately $5,000/yr in rental income. There is significant commercial activity in the area with nearby attractions including Blackies Gas Stop, Loco Coyote, Rough Creek Lodge, Fossil Rim Wildlife Ranch and the soon to be constructed Erath County Fair and Rodeo grounds. These attractions coupled with excellent accessibility on Hwy 67 create a great opportunity to develop the property into a commercial entertainment business such as an event center or winery.
