Location

The ranch is located just over one mile southeast of Walnut Springs, 14 miles from Glen Rose, 20 miles from Hico, 65 miles from Fort Worth, and approximately 90 miles from Dallas.

The open-concept kitchen and living area are centered around a two-sided fireplace and overlook the pool through expansive windows. Additional features include a soundproof bar room, mud room, oversized pantry, gas range, wine refrigerator, and remote-controlled window shades. Water is supplied by an 800-foot Trinity Aquifer well producing approximately 150 GPM, with Atmos gas and private septic.

Outdoor amenities include a heated pool with waterfall spa, natural diving rock, and a fully equipped grill house featuring garage-style glass doors, a gas grill, sink, refrigerator, fireplace, dining area, and TV.

A detached shop includes two drive-through bays and a complete guest apartment with kitchen, living area, bedroom, bunk beds, and full bath, making it ideal for guests, extended family, or a ranch manager.

Land & Water

The ranch features rolling Bosque County topography, with elevations ranging from
approximately 910 to 850 feet. Native oaks, cedar, mesquite, wooded draws, and open pasture create a diverse landscape that supports both livestock and wildlife. The property carries an agricultural exemption and is actively grazed.

Over 2,000 feet of both sides of spring-fed Steele Creek wind through the property. Clear, year-round water, limestone bottoms, mature hardwoods, and two creek crossings make this one of the ranch’s defining features. The creek is ideal for fishing, kayaking, swimming, or simply enjoying the shade along its banks.

A separate 1.5± acre bass-stocked lake sits within walking distance of the home, providing another excellent fishing and recreation opportunity.

Wildlife

Steele Creek Ranch offers outstanding habitat for whitetail deer, turkey, hogs, and dove. The combination of live water, timber, rolling terrain, and open pasture creates excellent hunting and wildlife viewing throughout the property.
