Anchored by a 10+/- acre bass lake, the property is blessed with a number of surface water sources that also include ~743' of Meridian Creek frontage and ~1.6 miles of creeks and branches that feed through the land. These creeks and draws and the wooded areas that buffer them offer good wildlife habitat and hunting opportunities. Structural improvements include a wonderfully restored two-story custom ranch home that overlooks the lake and much of the ranch, an equally comfortable guest house, swimming pool, horse barn, and equipment barn. Domestic use water is provided by Mustang Valley Water Supply, and there's also a private water well on-site. The ranch is conveniently accessed from pavement via Bosque County Road 4155 and is located in a very desirable part of the county just minutes northwest of Clifton, offering outstanding proximity to the Dallas/Fort Worth metro area.

Lake and Meridian Creek: Anchoring the abundant water features found on the ranch is the 10+/- acre bass lake. Water clarity is ideal, and the fishery shows all signs of being extremely healthy with 4lb. & 5lb. bass regularly caught, abundant bait fish and desirable forms of aquatic vegetation. With a neat little island in the middle and a dock on one side the lake has a unique character all its own and is also great for paddleboating, kayaking, canoeing, and swimming. For the avid waterfowl hunter, the lake offers a seasonal stop for wintering waterfowl. The lake is fed by a good system of branches and draws that wind their way through the property for ~1.6 miles. The northeast portion of ranch fronts along Meridian Creek for ~743' offering additional fishing opportunities, swimming, canoeing/kayaking, exploring, and is a well-traveled and secluded corridor for wildlife. A stock pond is also in place providing an additional surface water source for livestock and wildlife.
Ranch Home: Perched on a hillside overlooking the lake and much of the ranch and surrounding country to the east and south, sits the exquisite 4,380+/- sf 4 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom two-story ranch home.

Near the back of the home is a thoughtfully designed mud room with benches and cabinets for storing your gear following a hunt or your work clothes after a good day of rewarding ranch work. Upstairs, you'll find a large master suite which is a private retreat in and of itself with a spacious bedroom and wonderful ensuite. The bathroom is bright and inviting with a giant soaking tub and huge shower, along with walk-in closet. A balcony overlooks the great room and offers access to the additional guest bedroom with its own private full bath. Outside under the canopy of live oaks, you'll find a peaceful courtyard with fireplace, grill, plenty of seating, and just beyond the courtyard, a swimming pool.

Roads & Fences: An improved alsphalt paved road leads in from the entrance on CR 4155, winds around and across the lake dam, and then climbs the hill to the home. A porte cochre welcomes owner and guests at the front of the home, and a large concrete driveway makes its way from here around the home, to the guest house, and then on up to the horse barn.

Bosque County - 614 County Road 4165, Cranfills Gap, TX
Located in the highly desired Norse Historic District of Bosque County that was originally settled by Norwegian immigrants in the late 1800s, this authentic frontier farm and ranch homestead has continued to be a working operation since that era. Properties in this region reflect a blend of historical significance and agricultural utility, making them unique representations of Texas Norwegian heritage. Ellingson Farm has been owned by the same family for the past 20 years, and under their stewardship, the farm has been meticulously cared for to maintain its historical significance. The farm is characterized by the stunning, diverse Bosque County topography with dramatic elevation changes, box canyons, rock outcroppings, native grasses, cultivation and good surface water. The highest elevation points on the property overlook the improvements and farmland situated in the mouth of a valley, creating a serene and secluded homestead.
The land is characterized by plentiful mature trees, including huge live oak motts, some of which are irrigated. Various types of natural grasses provide forage, and numerous seasonal springs bubble up from the ground and wind through the farm. Two ponds and one seasonal pond create adequate surface water for livestock and wildlife, and a 2-inch water line supplies the 2 ponds to control water levels. The elevation ranges an impressive 120 ft and supports varied vegetation and shelter options for abundant wildlife including all native species. There has been minimal hunting during the past 20 years of ownership.
The homestead consists of 2 small houses, a livestock barn, a shop building with an office, cultivated ground, and numerous examples of hand constructed historic buildings and features. One of the most unique features on the farm is a historic native limestone cabin built by Norwegian immigrants to house a dugout-dwelling relative, Jacob Ellingson, who had fallen ill but unfortunately died before he had a chance to inhabit the cabin. Jacob was the first Ellingson to immigrate to Texas and Bosque County to create a new opportunity for relatives to follow. The rock walls and fireplace and axe-hewn rafters provide an amazing glimpse into the local history and craftsmanship. Other unique features include the hand-crafted masonry water storage tank, the hand-constructed rock retaining walls near the houses, and the stacked rock retaining wall along the livestock pens. There are also several small wooden barn structures.
Two houses onsite offer flexibility for multi-generational living, weekend housing for a family ranch, or guest housing for family and friends. The first home is a 2BR 2B turn-of-the-century frame house, originally built as a parsonage and relocated to this farm. The 2nd home, referred to as the Ellingson Farmhouse, is a 2BR 1.5B home that is documented in the Bosque Historic Registry as well as the National Historic Registry. Other improvements include a metal horse barn with stalls and a 30x72 metal shop building with attached 30x16 farm office that has electricity, water, and covered equipment parking. A co-op water line runs through the property, and the 3 existing water meters will transfer at closing.
No pesticides or chemicals have been used by the current owners. The 15-acres of cultivated ground are used to grow alfalfa, wheat, oats, and other crops. Five acres are under pivot irrigation and 10 acres are irrigated by 100-ft circumference impact sprinklers. The water source for irrigation is a 2nd Trinity water well that produces 45-50 gpm and has a 2-inch outlet and a 10hp pump.
The farm is currently used to raise big horned Dall sheep, and the property includes a set of pipe working pens. The farm is fenced for livestock with low fencing in good condition along the perimeter as well as cross-fencing. There is also a quail restoration plan in progress. An established road system allows access throughout the property and around the boundary fencing.
This farm has coveted end of the road seclusion, and it is mostly bordered by large-acreage neighbors. There are no transmission lines, no pipelines, no floodplain, and no wind or solar leases. The Seller believes they own 100% of the minerals which will convey with a full price offer.

Situated in the highly desirable "Top of the Hill Country" Bosque County landscape, vast elevation changes create sweeping vistas overlooking miles of gin clear creeks, multiple ponds, and seasonal springs. A mixture of awe inspiring old growth hardwoods and forests along with hundreds of acres of native prairie create a scenic blend across the landscape that provide habitat for wildlife along with grazing areas for livestock.
The ranch is 1,239 pristine acres that make the springs and both live water creeks run as clear as you have seen. There are no old buildings, no trash, no junk. The location of Cotton Willow Ranch is genuinely rare for Texas. The rainfall here is still substantial enough to run live water creeks and support multiple springs along with bluebonnets and indian paint brushes that blanket the ranch in the spring time. The ground is forgiving rather than rocky, allowing you to comfortably drive and walk across nearly the entire property. A more northerly position in the state creates a true four-season experience: milder summer heat than many Texas regions and winter conditions that can even bring snowfall (frequently for Texas standards).
The history of thoughtful cattle management on the property has promoted preservation of the native habitat, which has allowed wildlife to flourish and the ranch to maintain populations of Bobwhite quail, and wild turkey as well as ample white-tailed deer, hogs, and other native wildlife for the area. Premium metal deer stands and feeders are thoughtfully positioned throughout the property in locations worthy of a magazine spread. Current Infrastructure includes well-planned pastures, 8 ponds, and 20 miles of roads, complemented with a set of metal cattle pens for managing the grazing.

TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT
Cotton Willow Ranch experiences over 100' of elevation change from the properties high ridges where one can see for miles over the Bosque hill country, to the creek bottoms where century old hardwoods look over the clear running waters of Willow and Cottonwood Creeks. In between these ridges and bottoms are hundreds of acres of productive native prairie dotted with oaks and juniper and featuring diverse assemblages of native grasses and forbs. Trademark species like Little Bluestem that tell the story of proper rangeland management provide cover for threatened species like the Bobwhite quail while continuing to maintain soil health into the future. In the springtime this property becomes a Texas postcard; dozens of native flowering species including Bluebonnets, Indian Blankets, and Winecups cover the property in a colorful mosaic.
The property's internal pasture system has allowed cattle to be effectively rotated across a majority of the ranch to prevent overgrazing and foster conservation of the prairie. With minimal revamping, the systems and infrastructure in place will allow a new manager to continue the intentional management of this unique piece of Texas.
WILDLIFE
Thanks to a history of proper management, The Cotton Willow Ranch is also home to an extensive list of charismatic native species including self-sustaining populations of Bobwhite Quail, Texas Horned Lizards, Rio Grande Turkeys, and White-tailed deer.

Set in the hills of Bosque County just outside of Walnut Springs, Steele Creek Ranch is a recreational retreat that delivers on every front. A spring-fed creek, a stocked bass lake, strong wildlife habitat, and a 4,200-square-foot home that sleeps ten. The infrastructure is in place, the land is productive, and the property is ready to be enjoyed without reservation.
LOCATION & THE SURROUNDING AREA
Steele Creek Ranch sits just over a mile southeast of Walnut Springs, at the edge of a stretch of Central Texas that most people from Dallas and Fort Worth haven't yet discovered. Glen Rose is 14 miles to the east, Fort Worth is 65 miles north, and Dallas is 90 miles from the front gate.
The surrounding area rewards those who know where to look. Rough Creek Lodge, Ranch & Resort, a luxury destination nestled on more than 9,000 acres in the foothills of the Texas Hill Country, is less than 15 miles away, offering world-class dining, a full-service spa, guided hunts, horseback riding, and a remarkable roster of activities including ziplining, fishing, and over six miles of nature trails.
Glen Rose punches well above its size. Known as the Dinosaur Capital of Texas, the town draws visitors to its well-preserved dinosaur tracks along the Paluxy River and the 1,500-acre Dinosaur Valley State Park. Beyond the tracks themselves, the park offers over 20 miles of scenic trails, camping, mountain biking, swimming, fishing, and paddling on the river, a full day's worth of adventure without leaving the county. Fossil Rim Wildlife Center rounds out the Glen Rose experience, offering a self-guided safari drive through native habitat where guests can encounter giraffes, rhinos, and other species up close and on their own schedule. The historic downtown square adds dining, local shopping, and a well-preserved 1893 courthouse that anchors the town's easy charm.
Twenty miles to the southeast, the town of Hico holds its own as a genuine destination. Along its historic main street you'll find custom ranch wear, handmade chocolates, local art, and antiques worth browsing at an unhurried pace. The Chop House, a scratch kitchen and Texas steakhouse inside the historic Midland Hotel, is a standout dining stop with excellent food and handcrafted cocktails. The Billy the Kid Museum adds a layer of local legend, and the surrounding blocks are lined with murals, galleries, and outfitters that make the trip worth the drive.
IMPROVEMENTS
The 4,200-square-foot home sits at the highest point of the ranch, thoughtfully finished throughout and designed to comfortably sleep up to ten. It blends elevated comfort with the functionality of a true ranch retreat.
The master suite anchors one end of the house with tall ceilings and expansive windows framing views of the pool and rolling pasture beyond. A double-vanity bath and generous walk-in closet complete the suite, which sits on its own wing of the home, set apart from the guest quarters on the opposite end for added privacy. Three additional guest rooms occupy the far side of the home, each with its own character. One features two twin beds, a loft, a full bath, and direct access to the back porch and pool. A second offers a king bed, a lofted sleeping space, and a seating area with the same outdoor flow. The Navy Room is the most unique, outfitted with three authentic bunks salvaged from a naval vessel, a functioning ship door with a wheel lock, a small office nook, and a television.
The kitchen and living areas share the open main floor, anchored by a two-sided fireplace serving both rooms. A wall of windows faces the pool, fitted with remote-controlled shades. The kitchen is well equipped with a gas range, overhead vent, oversized island, drink-drawer refrigerator with freezer, and a large pantry.

A mud room with washer and dryer, an additional refrigerator, and carport access rounds out the main house. Water comes from an 800-foot Trinity Aquifer well pumping at 150 gallons per minute. The property is on Atmos gas and private septic.
Outside, the heated pool reaches nearly seven feet at its deepest and anchors the outdoor living space. A waterfall spills from an elevated jetted hot tub into the pool below, while a natural diving rock adds a resort-like touch. The grill house is a destination of its own, with four glass garage-style doors that open the structure on three sides, a gas grill, drink fridge, sink, dining table, and mounted television inside, and a stone fireplace on the north side for cooler evenings.
The detached shop includes two drive-through garage bays alongside a complete second living unit with a full kitchen, dining room, living area, bunk beds, a master bedroom, and a bathroom, well suited for overflow, long-term lodging, or caretaker quarters. Three HVAC units condition the home, with a dedicated two-ton unit serving the master exclusively.
LAND & TOPOGRAPHY
Elevation ranges from 910 feet near the house down to 850 feet along the creek bottom, with all sides of the property sloping naturally toward the creek, creating a satisfying sense of relief and movement across the landscape. The terrain is a prime example of Bosque County land at its best, rolling and diverse with a good mix of oak, cedar, and mesquite transitioning from open pasture to wooded draws and a limestone-laced creek bottom. The property carries an agricultural exemption and is actively used for cattle, helping to keep carrying costs efficient while maintaining the land in productive condition.
WATER
At the heart of the ranch is Steele Creek, with more than 2,000 feet of frontage on both sides of the creek running through the property. Spring-fed with a rocky bottom and consistently clear water, the creek maintains year-round flow and features a mix of shallow runs and deeper pools reaching three feet and beyond. Lined with a mature canopy of oaks, the creek corridor stays shaded and cool even in the peak of summer, forming one of the most inviting and scenic areas on the entire property. Whether floating the creek on a warm afternoon, kayaking through its winding stretches, or fishing the deeper holes, Steele Creek delivers a recreational experience that is increasingly rare in this part of Texas. Two established crossings allow easy access to both sides of the property, while the far bank remains largely untouched, offering privacy, strong habitat, and a blank canvas for future improvements or selective clearing. In addition to the creek, a separate 1.5-acre lake stocked with bass sits within easy walking distance of the house, providing another private fishing and recreation option right out the back door.
HUNTING & WILDLIFE
The creek corridor provides excellent habitat for deer, turkey, and hogs, and all three species are well represented on the property. Deer and turkey are seen regularly throughout the ranch and frequently around the house itself, making for a hunting experience that begins the moment you step outside. This area is also known for its exceptional dove hunting. The combination of rolling terrain, diverse cover, and year-round water gives the property a level of habitat quality that is difficult to replicate at this price point in Central Texas.
