The K6 Ranch is an immensely improved 586± acre estate bearing multiple residences constructed with best-in-class materials and sparing no expense in the development of the ranch. Crowned with a newly constructed timber frame and stone main dwelling overlooking a manicured landscape and the hills of Palo Pinto County. A resort-style infinity pool, outdoor kitchen, living area, guest quarters, additional housing, indoor gym and pickleball court, equestrian facilities, lighted roping arena, coastal hay production, and other recreational improvements complement the main improvements. The five water wells, twelve earthen ponds, and co-op water provide access to necessary water for current or expanded operations. The property is ideally located a short five-minute drive north of Mineral Wells, lying just west of Weatherford and the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area. Generally described, the property comprises brush-covered significant elevation, separated by seasonal creeks and lush sandy bottoms that are manicured and productive coastal hay fields. The artistry and craftsmanship that exudes from the improvements are equally mirrored in the stewardship of the land. The extent of improvements to a property like this is a multi-year commitment and requires a high level of skill and profession to bring to completion. Properties that embody the class, character, luxury, and comprehensiveness that the K6 Ranch maintains are seldom available within the market.
Heading north from Mineral Wells, Texas, the ranch lies behind a gated entrance at the end of Bennett Road. Entering the ranch at the end of the road, one neighbor is south of the entrance gate. With no traffic or other neighbors, it is private and undisturbed. A concrete driveway winding through a coastal bottom with manicured trees and pipe fencing leads your attention to the top of a ridge. A home that deserves observation and appreciation is the focal point situated to overlook the groomed coastal bottoms and horse improvements with 360-degree views. The stewardship of the remainder of the property is equally apparent. The ranch is accessed by multiple trails and improved roads that can be driven in almost any type of vehicle. The property's elevation reveals the quality of views overlooking the property and Palo Pinto County. Approximately 50 percent is wooded, and 50 percent is native or improved pasture. Mature oaks, mesquite, and a variety of underbrush blanket the property. The rocky hilltops and lush coastal Bermuda hay fields give character to the land and provide income for the property. The quality of improvements, privacy, views, location, and inevitable equity in development potential offer a remarkable opportunity for ownership.
To build a property like the K6 Ranch with the improvements and the time commitment to land stewardship at the level the sellers have committed here is hard to assign a level of value to. Buying a property that is improved at this level with virtually new improvements is buying equity in the time it takes to build out a property like this. In most instances, it must be built from scratch. Building out structures of this magnitude is a multi-year commitment, and in the ranch market, when that feat is completed, they typically don’t become available until years later. That alone makes the K6 Ranch a difficult property to find a truly comparable property. The rapidly growing market west of Dallas-Fort Worth continues to grow year after year. This ranch is in the highly desired one hour or less from the metroplex and DFW Airport but maintains a feeling of seclusion and privacy. The K6 has the majority of the most important checklist items: location, elevation, water, quality improvements, hunting, and ag production.

The home was built in conjunction with the seller's oversight by Mike Barnett, S&B Construction in Weatherford, Texas. The guest quarters are attached by a covered breezeway, with approximately 2,500 square feet of living space containing one bedroom and two bathrooms. A Resort-style 40,000-gallon infinity edge pool with water and fire features sits adjacent to the main house and guest house. An outdoor kitchen, fireplace, living room, and dining area complement the pool and main house. To the north of the main home, sitting on an opposing ridge but hidden from sight near the entrance of the ranch, is the secondary home. Continuing the modern rustic design of the main house, the secondary home is a 2,300-square-foot three-bedroom, two-bathroom custom home with a two-car garage. A 100’X100’ ten-stall horse barn on a concrete slab sits next to a 300’X180’ lighted roping arena in a valley below the main house. The barn has a wash bay, concrete divider walls between the stalls, a tack room, a 400 square-foot efficiency apartment that is suitable for a hired hand, automatic waterers, and two “Big Ass Fan” brand barn fans. The 80’X100’ hay and equipment barn with a 20-foot overhang is within walking distance of the barn. Between the hay and horse barn is a 150-foot round pen with sorting pens, outdoor stalls, and loafing sheds. The other major improvement in the immediate vicinity is a four-bay insulated shop with enough room for an indoor pickleball court, full bathrooms with shower, septic system, AC, and heat. Another small guest cabin/container home sits near the workshop and barns, and it has one bedroom and one bathroom.
The property has 12 ponds stocked with fish and five domestic water wells ranging from 150 to 700 feet in depth.
Property taxes are estimated at $20,000 based upon past years.
Whitetail deer, Rio Grande turkey, migratory ducks, varmints, and dove are the main species known as native to the property and area. The ponds provide fishing and water for wildlife and livestock. There are ten timed corn feeders, three fiberglass tower blinds, and four tree stands. The deer blinds and feeders on the property are negotiable with the sale of the property.
The ranch has historically been used for grazing cattle, hay production, hunting, horse training, and recreation.
Three existing oil and gas wells exist, but only two are currently producing. The seller owns the operating interest. He operates the wells with Hilltop Petroleum, which provides the labor for pumping the wells in a profit-sharing agreement.
