Buck Canyon Ranch is a turn-key luxury hunting preserve nestled in the small community of Eolian, located in western Stephens County, Texas. This meticulously maintained 450-acre property is home to high-quality Whitetail Deer genetics and an impressive array of over twenty exotic species. The ranch has a pleasing topography with a gentle roll, lined with numerous deep draws and valleys accented with substantial rock outcroppings that eventually slope into a flat topography on the southern end of the ranch. Buck Canyon Ranch is a remarkable sanctuary with a hardy eight-foot fence surrounding the entire property. Cross-fencing on the property includes a generous northern section of approximately 196 acres and a southern section of around 218 acres; two additional fenced areas further enhance the ranch. A 40-acre trap designed to nurture whitetail deer and a one-acre pen for kangaroos create a unique visitor experience. To ensure the safety of both guests and wildlife, the owner has thoughtfully fenced off all essential buildings, allowing for an open and inviting entrance. Currently, the north and south fields are cultivated with wheat, providing food for wildlife throughout the winter months. In September, the ranch transforms into a prime location for dove hunting. This ranch is a true outdoorsman paradise with abundant water sources for animals and fishing. At the heart of Buck Canyon Ranch is an extraordinary custom stone residence that beautifully combines modern comforts with rustic elegance, creating a genuinely appealing atmosphere. As you step inside, you will be captivated by the meticulous craftsmanship that defines the open floor plan. This thoughtfully designed layout harmoniously connects the kitchen, dining, and living areas, adorned with floor-to-ceiling windows that showcase stunning sunrises and fill the home with natural light. Every detail shines here, from the custom cabinets and expansive island to the exquisite granite countertops and charming exposed wooden beams. Two cozy rock fireplaces enhance the sophisticated ambiance. At the same time, the two bedrooms, connected by a convenient jack-and-jill bathroom, warmly welcome guests. The primary bedroom suite is a delightful retreat, showcasing spacious his and her closets, a luxurious double sink vanity, and a relaxing Jacuzzi tub. Perfect for entertaining, the backyard offers a sweeping view of the landscape to the east, which overlooks a pristine swimming pool surrounded by impeccably manicured grounds. This is a delightful oasis to call home! Adjacent to the home, you'll discover a charming hunting lodge designed with comfort and camaraderie in mind. This welcoming space features four cozy bedrooms, a spacious loft, and three full bathrooms to accommodate everyone. With a kitchen and dining area perfect for gathering, as well as TVs, a pool table, and shuffleboard, this lodge is a place for family and friends to share late-night stories and savor warm cups of coffee before embarking on their adventures in the field. This inviting atmosphere is enhanced by natural pine wood walls, traditional Mexican Saltillo tile flooring, and beautiful custom ironwork, creating a perfect backdrop for memorable deer camp adventures. Additionally, there's a 3,400-square-foot shop attached to the lodge, providing a secure space for UTVs and hunting equipment while also providing a comfortable space for socializing if the weather isn't cooperating. In the far southwest corner of the ranch, you'll discover a Clayton farm home ideally suited for guests, an Airbnb rental offering extra income, or a residence for the ranch foreman. With its inviting open-concept layout, the home boasts three comfortable bedrooms, two well-appointed bathrooms, and a generous walk-in pantry. This manufactured gem sits on a 2-acre lot, offering a serene retreat, ideally removed from the high fence that encircles the ranch.
