DALLAS, Feb. 1, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- The Burgher-Ray Ranch Group, part of Briggs
Freeman Sotheby's International Realty and led by ranch experts
David Burgher and Harlan Ray, is thrilled to bring to market the
uncommonly luxurious Prairie Oaks Ranch in Bowie, Texas.
Sited amidst the rolling hills of Montague County, in the Cross Timbers region
of North Central Texas, the ranch
boasts sweeping views, abundant surface water and pristine
improvements, including a nine-hole golf course, multiple lakes
teeming with fish (the largest lake being 29+/- acres), swimming
pool, shooting ranges, five-bedroom home, water wells, equipment
barns, working pens and fencing for livestock.
This historic ranch was once home to American bison,
Comanche hunting parties and a way
station along the famed Chisholm Trail. Today, Blackjack
oak forests, blackberry thickets and native grasses thrive,
with white-tailed deer, bobcats, coyotes, migratory fowl and bald
eagles — among many other species of birds, fish and game
— making their home here.
The ranch features more than 4,000 feet of frontage on both
sides of Denton Creek, which feeds
the main lake. There are nine other lakes, most of them stocked
with a variety of fish, many with docks and piers. The ranch's
terrain is rolling, with superb views over the lakes, pastures and
golf course.
The three-story main home is a textbook example of clean-lined
Texas architecture. Built of wood
and stone, and wrapped in porches that have magnificent views, it
features a grand great room with vaulted ceiling and fireplace;
open-plan gourmet kitchen with island; five comfortable bedrooms
(including the first-floor owner's retreat with fireplace and large
bath); and a rooftop viewing cupola with 360-degree views. The area
around the house includes two outdoor fireplaces and a kitchen.
There are more than five miles of concrete-paved walks and cart
paths throughout the ranch, with nearly 20 sculptures along them.
For recreational pursuits, there are hiking trails, biking trails,
rifle and sporting-clay ranges, boating and waterskiing on the main
lake, fossil-hunting in the deep ravines (where the ranch was once
roamed by those prehistoric dinosaurs) and golf on the private
course, with its elevation changes, doglegs and challenging
waterside greens.
All of this is just 10 minutes from Bowie, Texas, with its shops, restaurants and
wineries. Prairie Oaks Ranch is the very best of both worlds:
country pursuits mixed with contemporary luxuries. It is offered
for $12,500,000.
