Description

The Red River Ranch is just over an hour northeast of Dallas and the perfect gentleman’s retreat that lives much larger than its actual size. Located on the banks of the Red River 5 miles east of Denison, 82 miles northeast of Dallas¸ and 107 miles northeast of Fort Worth, this property is ideal for a weekend retreat or a full-time residence. Currently operating as a recreational ranch is well suited for a variety of lifestyles. Complete with a 6,000 +/- SF main house, party barn, open air riding arena, large equipment barn and ready for horses and livestock with pipe fencing, loafing sheds, paddocks, and hot walker.

There is a 3-acre stocked pond for fishing and the sandy soil is ideal for the 400 vines growing in the vineyard, complete with drip irrigation. This ranch is ready to go for endless opportunities to entertain family and friends. Being on the banks of the river and the wooded terrain provides lots of good cover for the native wildlife.

Improvements:
This well-built and maintained property allows plenty of room for entertaining family and friends with 6,000 sf of living area and 5 bedrooms, 8 baths and a large bonus room/suite situated over the garage with private staircase. The home with an open floor plan was last updated in 2019, when the owners built an additional section of the house expanding the living room, adding two bedrooms, as well as a pool house bath and shower, full steam room, and a large laundry room with double washer/dryers and a large refrigerator.

Outdoor entertaining is a breeze with the in-ground pool and hot tub, as well as decks and patios located along the back of the house overlooking the river.
The 2,800 +/- sf party barn with multiple bay doors, half bath and fireplace was recently remodeled. Nearby is the 4,900+/- SF equipment barn with multiple drive through bays with roll up doors. There are numerous horse and livestock improvements including an open-air arena, loafing sheds, paddocks, hot walker, and pipe fencing. There is a 1,000-gallon generator large enough to power the entire property in case of power outage. Access to the property is through a rocked entrance with an electric gate at the front of the property on Gun Club Road. The ranch also has access to River Oaks Road.

Location:
The property is located at 1095 Gun Club Road, approximately 5 miles northeast of Denison, TX in Grayson County, and 82 miles north of Dallas and 107 miles northeast of Fort Worth. There is easy access to the property from US 75.

Land:
This 58+/- acre ranch features a diverse combination of open pasture for livestock, wooded terrain, and an impressive view from the top of the banks of the Red River. However, there is also easy access to the river bed via an unpaved drive/trail which can accommodate most vehicles when the river is down and leaves access to the sandy river bottom. The majority of the forest is typical of the Cross Timbers region with exceptionally large hardwoods, including some pecan trees scattered throughout the ranch. The property consists of mostly sandy loam, and clayey soils which are ideal for growing grapes. Currently there are 400 vines growing in the vineyard on the ranch.

Water:
The ranch is located on the high banks of the Red River. The recently refurbished observation deck protrudes out from the back of the residence and looks directly over the river and beyond to Oklahoma. There is a 3+ acre pond that reaches 35-40 ft deep. It is well stocked with largemouth bass, blue gill, catfish, flathead minnows, and crappie. Water to the main house is provided by the City of Denison. There is one water well with filtration, as well as a 12,000-gallon water storage and treatment system in excellent condition.

Terrain/Topography:
There are approximately 200’ elevation changes on the property from the higher ground along the southern portion of the property and sloping to the river.
