Remarks

The Double Creek Ranch is a great “All Around” ranch located near the fast growing Dallas Ft. Worth Metroplex.  The owner has manicured, improved and cared for the property over the last 25+ years.  Hunting and fishing are great along with being ready for your private cattle operation.  The current manager has been at the ranch for 8 years and would like to stay with the new owner.  Topography is amazing for the area with views in all directions.  If you are looking for a centrally located family ranch with all the options ready to go, this property deserves a visit.
