Location: The Sweet Spot of West Texas
Approximately twenty minutes south of Possum Kingdom Lake, twenty-six miles west of Mineral Wells, and seventy-nine miles west of Fort Worth Coalson, the W-W Ranch sits in a rare zone — remote enough for total privacy and immersion in the land, yet accessible enough for weekend getaways from the DFW Metroplex. DFW International Airport is just ninety-nine miles away. Coalson
This is Texas at its most authentic — big sky, open range, and the kind of quiet that can only be found far from city limits.
The Land: A Western Landscape Unlike Any Other
The terrain features a rich array of western landscapes including flat agricultural fields and grassy pastures transitioning into gently undulating native grasslands, areas with limestone outcroppings and scattered surface stones, and a vast, stunning valley home to large pecan trees, productive soils, and the clear running waters of Ioni Creek. Coalson
This isn’t flat, featureless ranch land. The W-W Ranch is a property with character — elevation changes, diverse terrain types, and the kind of scenic variety that makes every ride across the property feel like a new discovery.
Water: The Crown Jewel of Any Texas Ranch
In Texas, water is everything. And the W-W Ranch is exceptionally well-watered for a property of this size.
The centerpiece of the water supply is approximately three miles of Ioni Creek, which flows for about seven to eight months each year. It features expansive pools, cascading small to medium waterfalls, and serene creek crossings, all shaded by a diverse array of trees along the banks. Coalson
Beyond the creek, a spring-fed water source emerging from a limestone formation is collected and pumped to a higher elevation with holding tanks, then gravity-fed to both the headquarters and the owner’s compound as potable water. The property also includes several wet weather streams, drainages, and more than 20 earthen stock ponds scattered across the ranch. Coalson
For cattle operations, wildlife management, and recreational use alike, this water infrastructure is a rare and invaluable asset.
Infrastructure: Built for Serious Ranching
The W-W Ranch isn’t raw land waiting to be developed — it’s a fully operational ranch with decades of thoughtful infrastructure investment.
The headquarters includes a fully operational cattle handling facility and a residential compound for the ranch staff. Accommodations consist of a brick house, a doublewide home, and a metal shed residence, along with an all-steel storage building, workshop with concrete floor, three storage sheds, and extensive steel cattle working pens equipped with squeeze and loading chutes. Coalson
For the owner and guests, the owner’s compound — known as the Hornet’s Nest — features a main house with two standard bedrooms, one bunk bedroom with four beds, two bathrooms, a large den with a wood-burning fireplace, wet bar, card table, shuffleboard, and a living room with a large TV, Saltillo tile floors, and cedar walls. Coalson
This is a ranch you can move into and operate from day one.
Wildlife & Hunting: A Trophy Property
This ranch has been managed and sculpted for years as both a cattle and game ranch. Coalson The diverse terrain — from open grasslands to creek-bottom hardwoods and native brush — creates exceptional habitat for whitetail deer, turkey, and other North Texas wildlife. For the serious hunter, this property represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a large, managed hunting operation with the infrastructure already in place.
