Property Description:
Located just minutes east of Glen Rose, TX, at the “Top of the Hill Country,” lies the Twin Lake Ranch. The ranch sits high up on a hill, with majestic views up and down the valley, including several locations where you can actually see the Glen Rose courthouse. This incredible property has historically been operated as a high fenced game ranch but has endless potential. A property this close to the DFW metroplex with all of these features will not last long.
