This stunning 242 acre ranch is located just outside Ferris, Texas, and only 23 miles from the heart of downtown Dallas. Situated in the direct path of future development, this property offers an exceptional opportunity for ranchers, investors, and developers alike. At the center of this Ferris Ranch sits a beautifully crafted 3,315 square foot stone home featuring 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a spacious upstairs loft large enough for two single beds, perfect for guests or a play area. The home overlooks a peaceful one acre stocked fishing pond, offering tranquil views and a true country living experience. Nearby are two large metal shop buildings for equipment, tractors, side-by-sides, etc. In addition, there is a finished out 900 square foot garage apartment with a restroom and shower that can serve as additional guest space. Supporting improvements include a 1,650 square foot equipment barn. Fenced and cross fenced for livestock is a mix of open bermudagrass pasture and scattered hardwood trees with gently rolling topography. In addition to the main pond, there are three smaller ponds located on the ranch. Along the western border of the ranch is a scenic tributary of Bear Creek with trails, towering trees and shale outcroppings. Soils are mostly productive Houston black clay varieties and drain well. Dove, deer, song birds and other critters are seen regularly on the property. With its rare size, access, location, and future development potential, we believe Ferris Ranch has tremendous upside. Comprised of nearly all buildable upland, the ranch borders Ferris’s ETJ. There is a 10 inch water line from Rockett Special Utility District adjoining the northern border. The ranch also has deeded access to the newly expanded FM 660, by way of Harper Road, along the eastern side of the ranch. Please contact Broker for further development information.
