TEXAS LAND / Portfolio<br />
This 432± acre working cattle ranch has history<br />
steeped in legends and campfire stories. The<br />
name Lucky Cross comes from an old Indian<br />
legend. If they were lucky, the river at either<br />
end of the ranch’s property would be low<br />
enough for the Comanches to cross. After<br />
crossing on horseback they could then double<br />
back on anyone following them or presenting<br />
a threat. Located eight-and-a-half miles west of Mineral Wells,<br />
with over 2,000 feet of frontage on the Brazos River. This ranch<br />
offers unlimited recreational activities including hiking, canoeing,<br />
tubing, fishing, camping, and hunting for wild turkeys and native<br />
deer. There are improved pastures for cattle and grazing and over<br />
31 inches of rainfall each year. Additionally, there are several stock<br />
ponds and a deep-water well to supply water for the ranch house<br />
and improvements.<br />
Custom built in 2001, the ranch house is comfy and cozy with<br />
hardwood floors out of old box cars and beautiful stucco walls.<br />
With plenty of room for the family or overnight guests, the onestory<br />
home features four bedrooms and two baths. There is a<br />
delightful cooks kitchen that opens to the spacious dining area<br />
and overlooks a casual outdoor courtyard area through a wall of<br />
windows over the kitchen sink. For the chef that likes to bake and<br />
cook, there are stainless steel appliances with a dual fuel range that<br />
features two ovens and eight burners with an overhead exhaust<br />
fan, a large refrigerator, and a full-size dishwasher.<br />
Other improvements include a barn with a separate one-room<br />
apartment and plenty of equipment storage and space for a tractor<br />
and other farm implements. There is also a separate casita with a<br />
full kitchen for outdoor entertaining and grilling.<br />
The ranch’s beauty has drawn attention from numerous<br />
organizations looking for the perfect Texas backdrop. Neiman<br />
Marcus recently came out for a photo shoot, Texas Brand Chili shot<br />
an advertising campaign, and Texas Tourism took pictures for their<br />
2009 brochure right on our property.<br />
