The Dallas-Fort Worth area demonstrates a dichotomy between luxury homes and down-to-earth living. Perhaps no other home genre complements this complexity better than the luxury ranch.
From Royse City to Saint Jo, Dave Perry-Miller presents some of the most beautifully pragmatic working ranches in the state.
Destination: Italy
Located on a whopping 550 acres approximately 50 minutes south of Dallas in a city called Italy, this working cattle ranch is situated atop rolling hills of prairie grass. This limestone ranch home was built along Chambers Creek and Houston Creek and has anything a cowpoke could want: exercise room, game room, oversized covered porch with living area and dual infinity pools with water slide.
Adventure in Saint Jo
This custom stone home in Saint Jo is situated on 400 acres overlooking the Red River Valley. The home features a gourmet kitchen, game room, master bedroom with walkout arbor and pool with outdoor kitchen. Additional amenities include five-stall barn, equipment barn and apartment for guests. The home is surrounded by a lake, ponds and miles of hiking trails.
A Little Bit Country in Kaufman
Majestic oak trees and a 10-acre lake surround this custom ranch home located in Kaufman. The house features a gourmet kitchen, open floor plan with 12-foot ceilings, covered porches and energy-efficient variables. The property features a guest house, as well as two insulated barns and three pastures with loafing sheds.
Custom in Celina
This custom ranch sits on a hilltop with 20-mile views of Celina. The property totals 22 acres, and the home boasts antique pine floors, gourmet kitchen, media room, game room and safe room. Also onsite: a five-stall barn, animal pens, feed barn and an upstairs two-bedroom apartment.
Rural Beauty in Royse City
Forty minutes east of downtown is Royse City, and it’s where you’ll find this equestrian estate. Located on 55 acres, the home was constructed with Austin stone, rustic timbers, metal roof and Western finishes. Amenities include antique pine and travertine floors, gourmet kitchen, and pool with cabana and grill.
