Property Description
The Ranch at Timber Ridge is a versatile East Texas property located just north of Daingerfield, approximately two hours east of Dallas. Thoughtfully improved and surrounded by natural beauty, this private ranch offers an exceptional setting for a weekend retreat, family getaway, or full-time residence.
Tucked away along a quiet county road, the ranch is accessed by a rock, all-weather entrance road with a gated entry that leads to an impressive 10,350-square-foot barn and entertainment space. Designed with both function and comfort in mind, the barn offers ample room for equipment storage while also serving as a welcoming gathering place for friends and family.
Just beyond the barn sits a charming ~1,290-square-foot historic cabin overlooking the ranch's picturesque 6.25-acre lake. Designed to comfortably sleep 2 guests now and up to 8 with a future finish out of the bottom floor, the cabin blends early Texas character with modern updates. A lower level offers additional space that could be finished to accommodate more guests or used for storage.
The cabin's back porch and deck provide a peaceful vantage point over the water-an ideal spot for morning coffee as you enjoy the deer and waterfowl around the lake.
Across the ranch, a balanced mix of native hardwoods and pine timber creates a beautiful and diverse landscape. Spring-fed creeks lined with towering hardwoods run through the property, supporting abundant wildlife and enhancing the natural character of the land. Gently rolling terrain provides scenic views and excellent hunting locations, while over 3.5 miles of trails allow for easy exploration by foot, horseback, or UTV.
Location
The Ranch at Timber Ridge is located in central Morris County just north of Daingerfield, roughly two hours east of Dallas.
Nearby communities include:
The ranch offers approximately half a mile of paved frontage along County Road 3113, providing convenient access while maintaining privacy and seclusion. The property is also just 17 miles from a public boat ramp on Lake O' The Pines, one of East Texas' most popular fishing and recreation lakes.
Terrain
The land features gently rolling to moderately sloped terrain, typical of this scenic part of East Texas. Most of the ranch drains well with minimal floodplain.
Elevations range from approximately 330 feet to 410 feet above sea level, creating natural ridgelines, scenic viewpoints, and ideal locations for wildlife habitat and hunting setups.
Soils
The ranch is characterized primarily by sandy loam soils, with pockets of loamy fine sand. Drainage areas contain Cuthbert and Briley fine sandy loam soils.
These soils are well suited for pine timber production, Bermuda grass pastures, and wildlife food plots. With proper lime and fertilizer applications, productivity can be further enhanced.
Water & Fisheries
Water is one of the defining features of the ranch. The cabin overlooks a beautiful 6.25± acre lake stocked with largemouth bass, Coppernose bluegill, redear sunfish, and other forage species.
The lake has been professionally managed for the past two years by Lochow Ranch Pond & Lake Management and supports a healthy and productive fish population.
In addition to the lake, several creeks and tributaries traverse the ranch, providing year-round water sources and excellent wildlife habitat.
Wildlife
The ranch offers exceptional habitat diversity with a mixture of native hardwoods and planted timber stands. Tree species include red and white oaks, sycamore, black gum, hickory, dogwood, pine, persimmon, willow, water oak, and river birch along the creek corridors.
The property has not been hunted in several years, allowing wildlife populations to flourish. Whitetail deer are abundant and supported by mast-producing trees and native forbs throughout the ranch.
Additional wildlife commonly seen on the property includes hogs, doves, waterfowl and various small game species. This diversity provides outstanding opportunities for both hunting and year-round wildlife viewing.
Access & Roads
Access to the ranch is excellent, with paved county road frontage and a well-maintained internal trail system.
Approximately 3.5 miles of trails and ranch roads provide convenient access throughout the property by UTV or ATV, allowing owners and guests to comfortably explore the entire ranch.
Improvements
Barn
Completed in 2023, the 10,350-square-foot barn serves as the centerpiece of the ranch. The structure includes 7,500 square feet on the ground level and an additional 2,850-square-foot loft for storage.
The insulated, steel-framed building was designed to combine functionality with a welcoming gathering space.
A large glass overhead door opens to the surrounding landscape and a 1,200-square-foot covered patio, creating an inviting indoor-outdoor entertainment area.
The patio features a custom stone fireplace, high-end outdoor furnishings, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with a grill, smoker, pizza oven, sink and pre area.
Inside the barn, additional framed space could easily be finished as living quarters, a workshop, or a private office.
Additional features include storage cabinets and shelving, large refrigerator and freezer, compressed air system, 110/220 electrical outlets, and a 4,000lb overhead hoist.
The tall ceilings, LED lighting, and open layout create a spacious and comfortable atmosphere while maintaining the barn's practical utility.
Cabin
The ranch also includes a historic ~1,290-square-foot rock cabin originally constructed in the early 1900s by the property's founding family.
Overlooking the ranch's main lake, the two-story cabin has been thoughtfully updated with new windows and doors, updated electrical and plumbing systems, modern interior finishes, a new deck, and a new outdoor fireplace.
The cabin provides a comfortable and charming place for family and guests to stay while enjoying the ranch.
The history of the home is even preserved in the local community-photographs of the cabin's construction and the original family can be found on display at the Daingerfield Historical Museum.
