89± Acre Multifunction Ranch | Palo Pinto County, Texas
Nestled near Graford in the highly sought-after Palo Pinto County, this 89-acre multifunction ranch offers a rare blend of natural beauty, modern comfort, rich history, and true Texas charm. Owned and lovingly maintained by the same family for more than 20 years, the property is ideal as a weekend escape, permanent residence, working ranch, or dedicated hunting retreat.
Residence & Improvements
A well-appointed 2000 sq. ft. two-bedroom, one-bath barndominium, built in 2011, serves as a comfortable turnkey residence. The home features granite countertops, modern appliances, and an inviting open layout. The back porch—with its antique wood stove—creates the perfect gathering place for relaxing evenings, starlit conversations, or warming up beside a crackling campfire.
The ranch is thoughtfully improved with infrastructure that supports livestock, recreation, and ranch operations, including:
• Multiple livestock sheds
• Large pole barn for equipment storage
• Fully enclosed work barn for ranch projects
• Aviary for chickens or other fowl
• Goat-proof perimeter and cross fencing
• Buried freight container serving as a storm shelter
• Reliable water well with lines distributed throughout the ranch
Land, Water & Wildlife
This property is truly a land of character—heavily wooded with a variety of hardwoods, dramatic elevation changes, and open meadows that create a ranch landscape far larger in feel than its acreage suggests. Numerous dirt and rock roads thread through the property, opening access to every corner.
A crystal-clear, year-round tank—stocked with large bass (up to ~9 lbs.) and perch and equipped with an aerator—provides a stunning focal point as well as dependable water for wildlife and livestock.
The ranch is a haven for wildlife, offering exceptional hunting opportunities for deer, turkey, dove, ducks, hogs, and varmints. A 100-yard rifle range further enhances its hunting amenities.
Historic Features
Adding uniqueness and undeniable charm, portions of the historic Weatherford, Mineral Wells & Northwestern Railway once traversed this ranch. Remnants of the old railroad and the impressive rock bridge built in 1907 still stand as landmarks, providing both character and a tangible connection to Texas’ early boomtown history.
Location
Situated in one of the most beautiful and desirable areas of Palo Pinto County, the ranch is surrounded by well-kept neighboring properties. Its proximity to DFW, Mineral Wells, and Weatherford offers unmatched convenience while still delivering the privacy, quiet, and natural beauty that ranch buyers seek.
