The Gin Creek Ranch — 253-Acre Family Retreat in Bosque County The Gin Creek Ranch is a breathtaking family retreat tucked in Bosque County’s historic Norwegian settlement area. Stretching along CR 4155, this 253-acre property offers sweeping valley views in every direction and a charming, well-appointed farmhouse framed by sentinel live oaks and a white three-rail horse fence. A wide wraparound porch provides the perfect vantage to enjoy breezes through the trees and abundant songbirds. Don’t be fooled by the gentle terrain — the ranch is rich in wildlife. Turkey, deer, ducks, geese and wild hogs are frequent visitors. Five stock tanks dot the landscape, two fed by a spring, and Gin Branch — a tributary of Neils Creek — borders the property. A small historic Norwegian cabin behind the house honors the area’s cultural heritage, and a majestic live oak likely dating to the early settlement period adds timeless character. Set up for light agriculture, the ranch currently sustains a small herd of cattle and offers excellent hunting and fishing opportunities. Clifton is just 15 minutes away with services, feed and hardware stores, restaurants, a hospital, and a vibrant arts community. The property is approximately 1.5 hours from the DFW metro area and similarly convenient to Austin. If you’re seeking a quiet, scenic weekend retreat with quality improvements, abundant wildlife, and easy access to town and metro areas, The Gin Creek Ranch is ready for you — just in time for the holidays.
