Legacy Ranch Checks all the Boxes for the Modern-Day Ranch Owner

The Clear Branch Ranch in Gatesville, just 30 minutes from Waco, TX, has a 35-acre lake, pastureland and road frontage on four sides. It is the largest ranch to come on the market in Coryell County and surrounding counties in several years.

“It is rare to find a tract this size with the diversity and potential this ranch features,” says Harlan Ray of the Burgher-Ray Ranch Group at Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty, which has the exclusive listing. “It is getting more and more difficult to find a legacy asset such as this one, especially being located almost halfway between the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex area and the greater Austin-San Antonio areas.”

The 3,268-acre ranch has been in the same family for more than a decade, primarily used as a high-fenced game operation as well as a cattle ranch. It has a mix of large open areas, massive rock outcroppings, grazing country and excellent surface water. With more than 1.5 miles of frontage on both sides of Clear Branch creek combined with the lake, the property features a wetlands habitat, fishing, and wildlife varieties of deer, duck, exotic animals, bass, perch and catfish.

The ranch also offers a three-bedroom main home, manager’s house, three sets of working pens for cattle, four water wells, two barns for equipment and storage, and room for watercraft recreation.

Ray and David Burgher, founders of the Burgher-Ray Ranch Group, are working with all brokers and potential buyers, using a registration process for every prospect.

“We want to protect the integrity of the asset and the integrity of the parties involved,” says Ray.
