Overview: Nestled in the heart of the historic Clear Creek Valley in Cooke County, Rolling R Ranch is a remarkable legacy property that represents a rare opportunity to own one of North Texas' most captivating landscapes. Encompassing approximately 1,303 contiguous acres, the ranch combines rich agricultural heritage, exceptional recreational value, and the natural beauty that has attracted families to the valley for generations. Defined by more than 2.5 miles of Clear Creek, mature hardwood forests, native grasslands, and ancient pecan groves, the property's diverse landscape supports productive cattle operations while offering outstanding hunting, fishing, horseback riding, and outdoor recreation. Rolling R Ranch was not acquired as a finished property. Instead, it was thoughtfully assembled and carefully shaped over nearly 30 years by the current owner through the acquisition of adjoining acreage and a long-term vision centered on stewardship, family, and the outdoors. Every major decision-from the placement of homes, trails, and scenic overlooks to grazing management and wildlife habitat conservation-was made to preserve the ranch's natural character while enhancing its functionality and beauty. The result is a property that reflects decades of intentional land stewardship and planning, designed with future generations in mind. The ranch's dramatic topography and timeless character sets it apart from virtually every other offering in the region. More than 100 feet of elevation change unfolds across sharp ridges and scenic overlooks, revealing breathtaking panoramic views of the Clear Creek Valley below. From sunrise casting golden light across the creek bottoms to vibrant Texas sunsets stretching across the horizon, the ranch's elevated vantage points offer an ever-changing backdrop showcasing the very best of Cooke County. The improvements have been thoughtfully positioned to preserve the property's commanding views while encouraging outdoor living. The main ranch home is in a park-like setting featuring professional landscaping, flagstone walkways, a swimming pool, and a hot tub that seamlessly blend into the surrounding landscape. Complementing the residence is an exceptional equestrian barndominium with well-appointed living quarters, strategically positioned so the owner can enjoy close proximity to the horses. Located near the historic Chisholm Trail and Butterfield Overland Mail Route, Rolling R Ranch occupies one of North Texas' most historically significant landscapes. Historic pioneer trail remnants, nearby frontier landmarks, and connections to the legend of Sam Bass add another layer to the property's rich history. Despite its remarkable sense of seclusion, expansive views, and exceptional natural diversity, the ranch is located approximately 75 minutes from the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, making it ideally suited for family retreats, recreation, equestrian pursuits, and working ranch operations.

Sweeping views extend across the Clear Creek Valley, showcasing a blend of native rangeland, improved pastures, and mature hardwood creek bottoms. One of the property's defining natural features is a limestone ridge that extends for more than 3 miles across the southern half of the ranch. The ridgeline offers ever-changing views across the Clear Creek Valley and surrounding countryside, making it one of the premier vantage points on the property. A picturesque waterfall cascades over limestone ledges below the ridge, creating a striking focal point within the rugged terrain and a quiet retreat to enjoy the natural beauty of the ranch. Vegetation: The ranch supports a diverse mix of native prairie, improved pasture, and mature hardwood forests characteristic of the Clear Creek Valley. Rolling uplands are dominated by native grasses including big bluestem, little bluestem, silver bluestem, switchgrass, sideoats grama, and Indiangrass. These deep-rooted species provide quality forage, improve soil health, and create excellent habitat for wildlife. Complementing the native range are well-maintained Bermuda grass pastures that provide productive grazing for livestock. Along Clear Creek, the ridges, and the numerous draws, mature stands of red oak, post oak, live oak, chinkapin oak, and stately pecan trees provide shade, mast production, and excellent cover for whitetail deer, turkey, and other native wildlife. Native sand plum thickets are scattered throughout the ranch, producing vibrant spring blooms while providing valuable browse and nesting cover. The combination of native rangeland, improved pastures, mature hardwoods, and healthy understory vegetation creates a productive landscape that supports both livestock operations and abundant wildlife. Water: LIVE water is one of the ranch's most defining features, with more than 2.5 miles of Clear Creek flowing through the property, including Cove Hollow Creek which flows in from the west. In addition to the creek system, the ranch includes 11 stock ponds. Groundwater is also excellent and there are 4 water wells. Wells provide water to the homes and improvements. Waterlines are also in place and distribute water to 14 water troughs, many of which are concrete. This ranch has abundant water resources. Wildlife: The property supports healthy populations of native game and non-game species commonly found throughout the Cross Timbers region of North Texas, including: White-tailed deer Rio Grande turkey Dove Wild hogs Coyotes Bobcats Numerous songbirds and native species Cooke County has long been recognized for producing quality native whitetails, and the Rolling R Ranch offers the habitat and management characteristics that support that reputation. A diverse landscape of mature hardwoods, native prairie, limestone ridges, and productive creek bottoms provides ideal year-round cover, bedding areas, and natural browse for wildlife. The ranch has been lightly hunted, allowing wildlife to mature with minimal pressure. The extensive creek bottom serves as a primary travel corridor while creating outstanding habitat for whitetail deer, Rio Grande turkey, and other native game. Combined with the property's size and diversity, the result is a ranch that offers both consistent recreational opportunities and the long-term potential for exceptional hunting. Recreation: Beyond its exceptional hunting opportunities, the Rolling R Ranch has been thoughtfully enjoyed as a place for outdoor recreation and family adventure. An extensive network of trails winds through the property, providing miles of routes well suited for hiking, mountain biking, and enduro riding while showcasing the ranch's diverse terrain, hardwood forests, limestone ridges, and native grasslands. More than 2.5 miles of Clear Creek invite endless exploration. A long-standing family tradition known simply as "creeking" involves walking the creek from one end of the ranch to the other, discovering limestone ledges, clear pools, wildlife, and artifacts from days gone by. It is an experience that has become a defining part of the ranch for multiple generations. A dedicated camping area, complete with elevated tent platforms and a fire pit, provides an ideal gathering place for overnight stays beneath the stars.

The nearby Butterfield Overland Mail Route- America's first transcontinental road- once carried stagecoaches, mail, and settlers westward, with the historic Davidson Station serving as an important stop along the journey. These historic corridors place the ranch at the crossroads of some of the most significant events that shaped the American West. The ranch overlooks the storied valleys of Clear Creek and Cove Hollow, forever linked to the legend of Sam Bass, whose infamous 1878 hideout was concealed within these rugged hills. Local folklore still tells of the missing cache of Union Pacific gold believed to have been buried somewhere in the surrounding countryside. Nearby Rosston also marks the southernmost point of the last major Kiowa and Comanche raid into North Texas in 1868, while remnants of early pioneer trails can still be found winding through the ranch's wooded ridges, offering a tangible connection to generations of Texas history.

PROPERTY OVERVIEW: Jenny Creek Ranch is a 235+/- acre, low-fence recreational property found in the far north portion of highly sought-after Cooke County, Texas. The property is 22+/- miles by way of US Highway 377, paved FM 901 and County Road 103 from Whitesboro, TX. This impressive property offers scenic terrain with dramatic topography and big views, numerous potential building sites, expansive hardwood forests, 83 +/- acres improved coastal bermuda pastures, almost a mile of both sides of Jenny Creek, superior whitetail genetics, Red River & Army Corp Land access, several potential pond/ lake/ waterfowl impoundment sites and outstanding wildlife habitat. Jenny Creek Ranch represents a unique opportunity to own a combination ranch in Cooke County, on the high bank of the mighty Red River. TERRAIN: The land is marked by a scenic transition from east to west, with Jenny Creek crossing the property and forming undulations in the land here. Elevations range from 745' on the NE side of the property to 635' where Jenny Creek exits the property. Total elevation change is 110+/- feet with views over the Red River & into Oklahoma. Picturesque points and oak-covered hills provide scenic views over deep drainages provide potential pond/ small lake sites making the property feel larger than it is. Jenny Creek is a key feature that runs through the middle of the ranch. RED RIVER & ARMY CORP LAND: Jenny Creek Ranch fronts along the high bank of the Red River for approx. 4/10ths of a mile. This frontage is not to the river directly, but rather a vast swath of public ground owned by the US Army Corps. During construction of the Lake Texoma dam downstream, the Army Corps of Engineers used Eminent Domain to inundate a large portion of the low-lying Red River riparian area to protect against future development along the flood prone & ever-changing Red River. This frontage provides access to a very inaccessible part of the Red River Army Corp land, totaling more than 10,000 acres; an airboat could provide access to over 30 miles of the Red River (& associated Corp land) from the top of Lake Texoma to well past the I-35 bridge going west. TREE COVER & WILDLIFE HABITAT: Approximately 30-35% of the ranch is in native grass pastureland. 30-35% of the property is scattered to heavily wooded; the remaining 35% of the property (83+/- acres) is coastal bermuda grass. Trees include red oak, blackjack oak, post oak, pecan, sycamore, hickory, walnut, elm, cottonwood and redbud. Brush and beneficial browse for wildlife include sand plum, greenbrier, and blackberries. The diversity of vegetation provides an inviting landscape for wildlife. WATER FEATURES: Jenny Creek runs through the middle of the ranch for approximately 0.92+/- miles. Numerous seasonal drainages run water into Jenny Creek and ultimately the Red River. A 1+/- acre, centrally located pond is complemented by three smaller ponds to provide water for wildlife and livestock. These ponds also provide fishing opportunities for largemouth bass, crappie and catfish. WILDLIFE: The wildlife on Jenny Creek includes whitetail deer, turkey, hogs, dove, ducks and geese. Bobcats, coyotes, mountain lions, owls, hawks, dove, bats, bald eagles, woodpeckers, a variety of songbirds and over 315 different vertebrate species are native to the Red River Valley. WHITETAIL DEER HERD: This area of Cooke County is well-known for producing trophy whitetail bucks. Trophy bucks in the 170"+ B&C class are fairly common. Click on this link for testament to the quality of low fence whitetails in the area: ROAD FRONTAGE & INTERIOR ROADS: The ranch fronts on quiet and all-weather CR 103 for approximately 0.4+/- miles. The entrance is tucked back off the road and provides access to the main artery road going the length of the property. A concrete, low-water crossing provides access across Jenny Creek with a good system of interior roads/trails. FENCING: Perimeter fencing ranges from good to excellent, with 6-strand barbed around most of the boundary. The cross fences are in fair condition but do appear to hold cattle. Cross fencing keeps cattle of the improved coastal bermuda pastures, and forms 5 pastures on the property. NEIGHBORS: The Jenny Creek Ranch has three true neighbors (not including Army Corp Land) - the 5,000ac+ Flying J Ranch is the eastern neighbor; the southern neighbor is the 4,500ac+ Sycamore Creek Ranch & has been owned by the same family since 1843; the northern neighbor is a 105ac property. The neighborhood, including ranches of this size, means privacy, quiet, and a true ranch setting, only 20-minutes from the booming developments of North Texas along Highway 82, Gainesville & Sherman. AREA HISTORY: 200 years ago, the line between eastern, agrarian Caddo tribes and the violent, nomadic Comanches of the west was a stark boundary found here in Cooke County. Heavily timbered forests lay to the East, with ample rainfall to support agricultural efforts. To the west, seemingly infinite open grass prairies were home to enormous populations of bison, deer and elk. Wars were waged along this line, in hopes of asserting claim to the boundless game, the deep canyons, elevated camp sites and opportunity found here. Incorporated in 1848, the county was named after a hero of the Texas Revolution, William McKinley Cooke, who fought at the Battle of San Jacinto and served as Chief Clerk of War for the Republic of Texas. Later, the Butterfield Overland Mail Route would cross this part of North Texas, carrying mail and wealthy passengers from St. Louis, Missouri and Memphis, Tennessee along some 2,800 miles to San Francisco. Today, the countryside still exudes the same wild nature that appealed to past civilizations. Lake Texoma: Impounded in 1944 and just a short distance to the east of Jenny Creek Ranch, Lake Texoma is a renowned fishery and recreational lake found along the border between Texas (Grayson and Cooke Counties) and Oklahoma (Bryan, Marshall and Love Counties). This 74,000+/- surface acre lake is controlled and operated by the US Army Corp of Engineers and attracts over 6 million visitors every year. The two major tributaries of Lake Texoma, the Red and Washita Rivers, make Texoma one of the few freshwater lakes in the United States with a self-sustaining, landlocked population of striped bass. Black bass are also present in Lake Texoma including Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, and Spotted Bass. Catfish include Channel Catfish, Blue Catfish, and Flathead Catfish. The current Texas state record Blue Catfish was caught here in 2004, weighing 121.5 pounds. Fishing guides operate year-round on Lake Texoma and can accommodate families or large groups.
