Improvements/Structures/Roads:
Access to this ranch is through a gated entrance with imposing rock/stone walls and a custom iron gate. A concrete drive takes you past a 35’ deep lake and up a small hill to one of the highest points in Coryell County and the entrance of the lodge. Once past the iron gates that lead to the lodge, you are greeted by an imposing sculptured water fountain on your way to the front door of the lodge.
The ranch compound centers around a spectacular custom built lodge with approximately 7,000 sf of air conditioned space. The front of the lodge has an additional 1800 sf covered porch that is a perfect place to enjoy the breeze and watch the wildlife gather around the lake as the sun sets. A wood burning fireplace with stone hearth offers warmth on a cool night or you can relax on the large porch. The lodge comfortably sleeps 12-24 people with 6 first-floor bedroom suites, all with private baths.
