Price Upon Qualified Request
The qualities of a Tommy Ford-built masterpiece are simple: quality materials, attention to detail and respect for both the client and the environment. Like its exceptional and world-class residence, the 5,000 acre ranch mirrors those values and unveils itself as a property not just built, but crafted; not just placed, but plannedall awaiting an owner who desires the best without compromise. Potentially, a discerning private and secure haven just minutes away from the DFW metroplex itself, or quite possibly the greatest master planned community to add value to the great city of Dallas.

In Texas, theres often a fine line between the city and the country. In many areas, what stands as countryside one day quickly sees the encroaching city the next until it all becomes part of the quickly spreading metropolitan network. the Ranch features 5,000 acres of bucolic rolling hills, lakes and valleys. Yet, even with its peaceful and secluded setting, the ranch lies just 20 miles and a 20-minute drive direct south on I-45 from Dallas most notable amenities, including upscale shopping and dining, sporting venues, as well as the bookends of Klyde Warren Park The Federal Reserve and Museum Tower located in the Uptown/Midtown financial, corporate and museum district areas.
The Ranch is quite possibly a much-needed respite for the herculean growth of DFW and Dallas County and, in any case, definitely a master-planned community developer and land investors dream. The incredible topography allows for stunning vistas from every angle and literally hundreds of potential home building sites. It is crisscrossed perfectly with county-maintained roads and easy access all round, an important factor for a developer along with the already newly built schools in the Ferris Independent School District.
In one corner, the ranch features a headquarters and an owners grand, gated estate home and compound with helipad, lake and high fence. Its a masterpiece of craftsmanship and planning that would, in any edition, compete with any home featured in Architectural Digest and stands as a testament to the quality and sophistication standard with a Tommy-Ford built home.
With a mix of sandy loam soils, giant trees and designer-perfect topography the balance of the Ranch is covered with improved coastal Bermuda grass pastures, several hundred head of red Angus cattle and a few African exotics. In its own right, the Ranch has been a long time in the making and today is a vibrant, operating and robust cattle ranch in the very true sense of the Texas word.
The view to the north is framed by the magnificent and prominent skyline of Dallas, the robust engine and driver of the ever-expanding DFW Metroplex expected to grow from a now bursting-at-the-seams 7.5 million people to an almost unthinkable 21 million by 2023. The view to the east and south are endless.
Herein lies the inherent value of this unique offering!
The conventional residential growth of Dallas is mostly positioned in the northern suburbs of Frisco, Plano, Argyle and Lewisville. Unfortunately, the only way for downtown executives to commute to these areas is to brave the hectic and crazy bottlenecks of the North Dallas Tollway, I-35 and US 75 North or any number of increasingly overwhelmed sub-arterial thoroughfares.
On the other end of the spectrum, the corporate centers, financial districts, cultural districts and the heartbeat of the live, work, play emergence is all located on the south side of the city. Just 15 minutes south on multi-lane interstate I-45, the 1st exit at Ferris puts you immediately home. There is no other planned-unit residential development between Ferris and Dallas of consequence. But there is a multi-million dollar modern hub and logistics development South Port and many other rapidly developing industries and investment.
