The Wall Street Journal reported<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe ranch, about 75 miles north of Dallas-Fort Worth, features rolling terrain dotted with hardwood forests, native grasslands, and mature pecan groves. The property sits along more than 2.5 miles of Clear Creek.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor Tony Roosevelt, Rolling R Ranch represented the realization of a lifelong vision. His appreciation for ranching began during his youth at his family\u2019s original Rolling R Ranch in Colorado,\u201d Hortenstine Ranch Co. says in a news release.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose experiences shaped his belief that land should be experienced, cared for and shared across generations. Rather than recreating the Colorado property, he spent decades thoughtfully assembling adjoining acreage in Cooke County and shaping a ranch uniquely suited to the North Texas landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n
Over time, the Roosevelts\u2019 children and grandchildren would go horseback riding, hiking, camping, or fishing when they visited Rolling R. The property lies near the historic Chisholm and Butterfield Overland National Historic trails.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat makes Rolling R Ranch truly special isn\u2019t simply its size or location,\u201d Blake Hortenstine says. \u201cIt\u2019s the intentional way it was created. Every trail, overlook, and improvement reflects decades of thoughtful stewardship. Opportunities to acquire a property with this level of natural beauty, privacy and history are exceptionally rare.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to the listing firm, Tony Roosevelt delayed construction of the ranch\u2019s hilltop lodge until he bought enough nearby property to protect unobstructed views.<\/p>\n
Improvements at the ranch included establishing a seven-mile trail system, installing owl boxes and bluebird houses, and setting up wildlife sanctuary areas. Deer, turkey, waterfowl, native birds, wild hogs, coyotes, bobcats, and other wildlife populate the ranch.<\/p>\n
While the outdoor amenities and wildlife are impressive, so are the buildings at the ranch.<\/p>\n
The 3,716-square-foot main house, built in 2014, offers four bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms. The open-concept great room features a stone fireplace with stone flooring that extends to the main living areas.<\/p>\n
The kitchen includes granite countertops, custom cabinetry, a large center island, and a butler\u2019s pantry. A wet bar is next to the main living area. Just off the kitchen is a screened-in porch overlooking the landscaped and irrigated grounds, along with a swimming pool and hot tub.<\/p>\n
A 2,800-square-foot barndominium does double duty as the ranch\u2019s headquarters and lodging for visitors.<\/p>\n
The barndominium\u2019s upper level includes four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a full kitchen, an open living area, and a screened-in balcony overlooking the surrounding wildlife sanctuary. The lower level features a climate-controlled workshop with a full bathroom. Adjacent to the workshop is a four-stall horse barn, one of four barns on the property.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhether envisioned as a legacy family retreat, a premier recreational ranch, or a long-term investment in one of North Texas\u2019 most desirable ranching regions, Rolling R Ranch stands among the finest offerings to come to market in recent years and represents an opportunity that discerning buyers may not see again for decades,\u201d Blake Hortenstine says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A North Texas ranch with ties to the White House is on the market for $21.5 million.
