White Oak Creek Ranch | 5,195± Acre Ranch Community
OVERVIEW: We are excited to share the success of White Oak Creek Ranch (WOCR), Northeast Texas' premier private ranch experience.
Designed to simplify ranch ownership, WOCR allows members to enjoy a world-class ranch lifestyle without the demands of daily management and maintenance. This innovative ownership model provides a time-saving, cost-effective alternative to traditional ranch ownership. Membership at WOCR is exclusive and intentionally capped at 22 members, ensuring long-term exclusivity, privacy, and preservation of the ranch experience. This is the complete and final offering.
At the heart of the ranch is the 128+ acre Romal Lake, renowned for trophy bass fishing and waterfront recreation. Members enjoy access to three stocked lakes totaling more than 144 acres of premier fishing waters, along with kayaking, paddle boating, lakeside picnics, and peaceful mornings on the shore.
WOCR also features Arkansas-style green timber waterfowl hunting across more than 650 acres of managed wetlands, deer hunting supported by 40 established food plots, and over 5,100 acres of scenic hardwood bottoms and creek-lined terrain to explore. More than 50 miles of manicured trails provide opportunities for horseback riding, hiking, and artifact hunting along White Oak Creek.
Additional amenities include a hunter's headquarter facility, state-of-the-art five-stand skeet range, rifle and pistol ranges, two guest cabins, swimming areas, and thoughtfully designed gathering spaces for entertaining family, friends, and clients.
24 surveyed 10-acre homesites surround Romal Lake. To date, 21 homesites have sold with 14 total members, reflecting several multiple-homesite ownerships. Five members have purchased double homesites, while one member expanded their investment to a triple homesite. This exceptional level of continued investment speaks volumes about the strength of the WOCR community and the unmatched lifestyle the ranch provides. Members value the experience so highly that many chose to deepen their commitment through additional ownership interests.
The following homesite is still available:

IMPROVEMENTS:
Every detail at White Oak Creek Ranch has been carefully planned and completed for immediate member enjoyment.
An all-weather ranch road welcomes you through a concrete entry with an electric piped gate, crossing weather-tested concrete bridges and culverts that circle Romal Lake for easy access by virtually any vehicle.
Surrounding the lake are 24 surveyed, build-ready 10-acre homesites, many of which already feature completed custom homes. One homesite remains available and ready for development.
All utilities are installed underground to preserve the lake's unobstructed views. While planning and building a custom home, members may utilize two well-appointed guest homes available on a first-come, first-served basis. Alternative home construction options are also available upon request.
Hunting operations center around the newly constructed 10,000-square-foot Hunters' Headquarters beneath a mature hardwood canopy northeast of Romal Lake. Designed for both functionality and comfort, the facility includes:
Additional ranch improvements include:
SURFACE WATER & FISHERIES:
The ranch features exceptional recreational surface water, including approximately 7, 14, and 128-acre lakes. Professionally managed fisheries have produced legendary East Texas largemouth bass, including a ranch record of 14.3 pounds. Members routinely catch bass in the 6-10 pound range.
The property also includes approximately:
WILDLIFE & HUNTING: White Oak Creek Ranch offers exceptional wildlife diversity and hunting opportunities. The ranch maintains healthy low-fence whitetail genetics supported by its size, topography, live-water creeks, thick cover, more than 40 managed food plots and feeders, and upgraded box blinds.
The property also supports abundant native forbs and habitat for feral hogs and a growing population of Eastern turkeys.
WATERFOWL: Flooded green timber is one of the defining features of White Oak Creek Ranch. During fall migration, mallards and other puddle ducks consistently converge on WOCR, creating a waterfowl experience rarely found in Texas. Numerous television shows have been filmed on the ranch, and watching mallards drop into tight timber holes - a dream for most waterfowlers - is a reality here.
WOCR features:
Together, these resources create a duck hunting experience often compared to the legendary green timber of Arkansas. Mojo Outdoors once described White Oak Creek Ranch as their top destination for mallard hunting.
The managed wetland system includes more than five miles of levees and flood-control structures capable of flooding both timber and wetlands on demand. Most wetlands are supplied by the 128-acre Romal Lake, providing reliable water management regardless of rainfall. WOCR also holds a rare and valuable permit that further enhances the ranch's exceptional waterfowl program.
At the center of one managed wetland sits the "Ultimate Duck Blind," accessible by UTV along a submerged gravel trail. Designed for comfort and functionality in all hunting conditions, the blind includes:
It provides an unforgettable experience for members, guests, clients, and families alike.
RANCH MANAGEMENT/HOME CARE: WOCR has been managed by the same onsite ranch manager for more than 40 years. The ranch management staff oversees all ranch maintenance, projects, and operations, allowing members to maximize time with family and friends instead of managing property upkeep. Professional cleaning staff are available for guest homes and may also service personal homes on an actual-cost basis.
KID/GRANDKID SECTION: What if summer camp, family vacations, and outdoor adventures could happen every weekend? At White Oak Creek Ranch it's time to play in the mud, jump from the swimming platform or catch your first MONSTER BASS! Find your freedom, learn to shoot a bow, and test your skills at skeet. Kayaking on the lakes, paddle boating with your brother/sister, or mooing at the cows are a rite of passage to growing up. Sitting in a deer stand, going with Dad to the duck blind, and exploring miles of ATV trails are a perfect day in the woods to view wildlife. Along the way, catch crawfish on the creek and learn to drink coffee?! End with starting a campfire to roast marshmallows, find the Big Dipper in the sky and go to bed late just to get up early to do it all over again. WOCR creates opportunities to grow, learn, bond, and build lifelong memories outdoors.
