Cornerstone Ranch

   Cornerstone Ranch presents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly versatile 843-acre property located just outside of Kaufman, Texas, in Kaufman County—one of the fastest-growing counties in the United States. Ideally positioned within an hour of Dallas and the broader DFW Metroplex, and only a short drive from the recreational destination of Cedar Creek Lake, this property combines natural beauty, accessibility, and significant long-term upside.

At the heart of the ranch lies a scenic 10+ acre lake, renowned for its excellent fishing, including bass, catfish, and sunfish. Numerous additional ponds are spread across gently rolling terrain, shaded by mature burr oak trees and surrounded by thriving native habitat. The land supports abundant wildlife—deer, dove, ducks, and geese—and currently benefits from a wildlife tax exemption. A dedicated dove field and on-site shooting range enhance the property’s appeal to outdoor enthusiasts.

Improvements

Cornerstone Ranch offers outstanding access, with paved county road frontage on two sides—a strategic advantage as Kaufman County continues its explosive growth in population, infrastructure, and demand for rural residential living. Improvements include ten fully equipped one-bedroom, one-bathroom cottages, ideal for guest accommodations, short-term rentals, or event lodging. The ranch also features a 60’ x 80’ climate-controlled indoor pavilion with full restaurant kitchen and large bathrooms and a 40’ x 60’ outdoor pavilion with a built-in barbecue area and generous seating—perfect for hosting gatherings, retreats, or private events. The ranch also features a large, enclosed equipment barn/shop, covered implement storage, a full backup generator system, fishing dock, 30-person storm shelter, and six (6) well-constructed bridges spanning creeks.
