Summary: 490 +/- Acres — The Bootjack Ranch located approximately 10 miles east of Goldthwaite, Texas is truly a one-of-a-kind showplace. The centerpiece of the ranch is the Texas German style ranch home. The amenities were designed and constructed between 1994 and 2001 in a picturesque setting by the late world-renowned western artifact curator and Ralph Lauren associate, Tyler Beard. The home featured in Architectural Digest has impeccable craftsmanship that makes you feel as if the home was constructed 100 years ago. A large stone front porch overlooks a coastal Bermuda grass field that leads to tree-lined Simms Creek and the tree-covered hills. There is a second bedroom suite, a bunkhouse with three private guest suites and two hunters cabins. Hunt Texas whitetail deer, turkey and other native wildlife. Entertain your guests at the swimming pool and dance the night away at the Bootjack Dance Hall complete with a bandstand, bar, sitting area and pool table. The appointed western furnishings convey.
