Description

Opportunity of a lifetime to own one of the most unique and breathtaking ranches in Central Texas. Legend has it one of Waco’s early prominent businessmen acquired this property and coined it with an iconic name—The Klondike.  He believed he had found the “Golden Nugget”. A ranch so rich in terrain, resources, Indian history, and recreational value, it lives up to its namesake.

Enjoying one mile of the North Bosque Riverfront, The Klondike stands out among the rest with a convenient location, deep canyons, rocky outcroppings, towering hardwoods, seasonal springs and waterfalls.  We have isolated multiple potential building sites with stunning views and utilities are on site.

Located just 16 miles northwest of Downtown Waco along the high bank of the North Bosque River, this ranch has it all.  Hunting, fishing, hiking, boating and incredible Indian artifacts throughout the property. 100 acres of pristine nature, perfectly preserved and situated to accommodate the home of your dreams.

The location of the ranch is also compelling.  Conveniently located minutes from Waco, DFW and Austin area buyers are also within a 1.5-hour window of travel.  The Texas Triangle is defined by the region containing the states five largest cities including Dallas, Ft. Worth, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin.  This area is home to 70% of the state’s population with some projections suggesting it could rise by 65% or house nearly 35 million residents by 2050.  So, you do the math.  Here is an opportunity to own a dynamic riverfront property located near the geographic center of the Texas Triangle.

Touring the ranch is an awesome adventure.  The current owner has constructed an ATV road system that traverses all areas of the property.  The south end of the ranch is dominated by a large open grassy pasture dotted with mature Live Oaks, Cedar Elm, mature Cedar and other native Texas hardwoods.  As you move toward the center of the ranch, the wooded tree canopy envelops you with fleeting glances of river through the trees.  Two canyons dominate the northern end of the ranch with 40-60’ rock walls, rocky outcroppings, and massive tree growth.  The mouth of the first canyon serves as the current owner’s artifact dig site which as proven to be rich in arrow points. 

Climbing to the northwestern corner of the property an expansive river valley view dominates your attention.  The view below of the North Bosque River gives way to the area’s namesake—The Bend of the Bosque.  Two large boulders stand out at the northwestern shoreline as general property boundaries.

Turning back to the south, one has the option of taking the lower River Road.  This sandy stretch of flat ATV path runs alongside towering Limestone cliffs nearly the length of the property.  Access to the river bed below is convenient off the river road at two separate locations.  Hours of river exploration await you along this mile stretch of Bosque River. 

We believe the many attributes of this stunning river property render it a one-of-a-kind Central Texas ranch land investment.  The ranch enjoys a current Wildlife Exemption which helps reduce annual taxes.  For the family looking for the perfect perch in which to build the house of their dreams, The Klondike is certain to punctuate the project.  Private quiet acreage, convenience, unparalleled views, one mile of river access, excellent hunting, exploration, and plentiful native American artifacts, combine to create a truly unique land acquisition opportunity.  Call me today for your private tour.  Ron Henderson 254-754-8330
