Rocking W Ranch
Description
One of Texas most iconic ranches is Alice Walton's Rocking W
Ranch on the banks of the Brazos River. Located just west of the Dallas-Fort
Worth Metroplex off of Interstate I-20, the Rocking W offers over 1435 acres
with extensive paved and ranch roads that grant access to all portions of the
property. With an excellent blend of both hardwood and some softwood trees,
plus a wildlife friendly mix ranging from open to heavy cover with strong
native grasses, the ranch is an ideal spot for any outdoor enthusiast. Plus,
with over 250 acres of coastal Bermuda pasture providing abundant hay for
cattle and horses, and over 15 stock tanks and ponds, well water, and Brazos
River water, the Rocking W is a vibrant working ranch. Hay and equipment barns
provide abundant, protected storage for the ranch owner's equipment and crops.
Numerous large traps for horses and cattle are pipe fenced and watered. Perhaps
the most captivating aspect of the Rocking W is the extensive horse facility. A
24 stall main show barn serves as the anchor, and includes 10 over-sized,
covered outdoor stalls adjacent to an additional covered arena. The main
residence sits atop a hill with spectacular views of the Brazos River Valley
and the equine facility. Mature oak trees encapsulate the 4,100+ sq. ft. soft
contemporary home. The comfortable residence offers three bedrooms, a library
and a main gallery. The state of the art home features Venetian plaster walls,
Mesquite floors, Sycamore and Cherry cabinetry and a fully customizable home
automation system. The large covered deck off the main living area is the
perfect place to enjoy the best sunset view in the Brazos River Valley.
Additional residences for all needed staff and guests are located in the
central complex. Upon purchase, the seller will convey an adjudicated right to
impound up to 92.11 acre feet of water and to divert and use up to 250 acre
feet of water for irrigation purposes. The seller will also convey the minerals
the seller owns which is over 93% of the total mineral estate and currently
producing wells.
