Located in Roanoke, Texas, just 25 minutes north of Fort Worth and 35 minutes northwest of Dallas, Old Roanoke Ranch is comprised of 31+/- acres of varied pastureland and wooded areas on the northwest side of popular Lake Grapevine, abutting more than 2,400 acres of U.S. Corps of Engineers land.

Old Roanoke Ranch offers many amenities and pleasures, including a residential compound. The three-bedroom main home is perfect as a full-time residence or weekend retreat, with its open-concept design for entertaining, gourmet kitchen and primary suite with French doors.

The other structure in the compound offers a six-car garage with a one-bedroom apartment above it, complete with kitchen, full bath and living space. Some of the best views are from the apartment: One can look out over the barn, equestrian paddock and tree-lined pastures.
