Ranger Hill Ranch is located in northeastern Eastland County, with roots dating back to the late 1800’s when the town of Ranger was formed. This region of Texas has matured from an oil and gas driven agriculture and community, to a bustling business and retail center. Current area resources include oil, ranching, farming and manufacturing. Fishing and recreational opportunities for all ages, quality rated schools, good housing and a growing business community contribute to making Eastland County a wonderful place to live, play, work and do business.

This landmark ranch is located on the south side of E IH-20 atop a large hill, locally known as Ranger Hill. Ranger Hill is very visible from the highway and derives its landmark status by being the only hill on IH-20 between Forth Worth and El Paso. The 757+- acre ranch has a bottom gate at the beginning of the hill and a second gate at the top of the hill. From the top of the hill, the ranch offers spectacular views overlooking the valley of Bear Creek which is known for its hilly terrain with local deep dissections, surfaced by moderately deep loam that supports mesquite, oak, juniper, grasses and shrubs. The creek runs northeast for seven miles to its mouth on Palo Pinto Creek, near the Palo Pinto county line.

Improvements to the ranch began in the spring of 1999. A beautiful custom built hand-crafted log home was built on a high cliff overlooking Bear Creek to afford visitors beautiful views of the surrounding terrain and the variety of elevations from every room in the house. Built with Canadian Western Red Cedar, the 2,988 sf home was added in 2004, and includes a 2,157 sf, porte-cochere, covered porches and patios. Ideal for entertaining and relaxing, the home features an open floor plan with tall a pitched roof, exposed cedar beams and walls of windows that invite the outdoors to come inside. A magnificent great room with a stone fireplace, and hearth that provides plenty of room for stacking firewood, is welcoming for groups of all sizes. The kitchen is well suited for entertaining with stainless steel appliances and a butcher block-island that opens to the large dining area. Upstairs there is a warm and cozy bedroom suite with cedar log lined walls and windows. Deep covered porches on both the front and back of the house offer retreat from the Texas sun. The back porch opens to the outdoor grill and a large patio perfect for entertaining while viewing the iconic Texas sunset. Additional structures on the ranch include 30’x60’ barn and storage sheds for equipment, supplies, ATV’s, and tractors. Three miles of well-built all weather roads, allow travel around the ranch all year long.
