Own a Ranch Home With World Class Resort Perks — Rough Creek is a Truly Unique Texas Wonderland

This article is part of a promoted series and not produced by the editorial staff.

Dream of living a resort lifestyle, where everything has been taken care of? Or do you long for fresh air and wide open spaces you can call your own? Why not have both?

Rough Creek Lodge & Resort just released its newest residential offering: The Ranch Estates. Located less than a two hour drive from the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex in the heart of Texas’ favorite outdoor adventure resort, The Ranch Estates offer the best of both worlds: all the amenities and service of a luxury resort with all the privacy and seclusion of your own private ranch.

The Ranch Estates are parcels of 25 to 65 acres that are maintained by the resort — a rare chance to own Texas ranch land without the headaches that usually come with it. You can purchase a Ranch Estate with a custom spec home already built, or if you prefer to put your own personal stamp on the design and finishings, you can also purchase the land and build a fully custom home with architect Jeff Garnett and the builder of your choice. The average price per acre is $25,000, and you have two full years to plan before you need to start building.

The first Ranch Estate spec home sold before the official public release, but a new move-in ready Ranch Estate just hit the market. Offered at $2.5 million, this expansive retreat enjoys a main house with more than 4,000 square feet of living space, with four bedrooms and four and a half baths plus a separate casita for hosting guests. A game room, complete with a billiards table, as well as multiple outdoor living spaces offer plenty of opportunities to unwind. There’s even a private sport court and the option to add a private pool.

Purchasing this move-in ready Ranch Estate will allow you to start making memories now and spend the holidays in your new country retreat this winter.

The best part? With Rough Creek being such an easy drive from Texas’ biggest cities, you can decide last minute to pack up the family and head to the ranch at almost any time. With high-speed Wi-Fi available in each home, working from your ranch or doing virtual school is easy.
