Property Description
Located just southeast of Bryson, Texas, 4 Welch Ranch offers approximately 60 acres of thoughtfully maintained countryside, a custom residence, separate guest accommodations, and outdoor living spaces that make staying home feel like a getaway. Mature oaks grace the southern portion of the ranch, while improved pastures open to the north. Two ponds and gently rolling terrain complete a setting equally suited to quiet mornings, recreation, and gathering with friends.
At the heart of the ranch is a custom home completed in 2016. This four-bedroom, four-bathroom residence welcomes you into an open living, kitchen, and dining area, where vaulted ceilings create a sense of space and a striking rock fireplace brings warmth and character.
The kitchen invites everyone to gather around a generous granite-and-mesquite island anchored by a stunning copper sink. Custom cabinetry and granite countertops pair with modern appliances to create a space ready for everyday meals or weekend entertaining. A large butler's pantry provides additional storage, while the adjacent mudroom features built-ins that keep daily essentials organized.
In the primary bedroom, a recessed ceiling adds architectural depth, and windows frame lush views of the surrounding landscape. The ensuite bathroom offers a relaxing retreat with a built-in soaking tub set within a tiled surround, a glass-enclosed walk-in shower, and an oversized walk-in closet. Providing comfort and privacy for guests, two of the three additional bedrooms feature ensuite bathrooms, while the fourth bathroom is accessible to the common area and the remaining bedroom.
Stepping outside, the home's gathering spaces continue to impress. An outdoor kitchen overlooks the backyard, with scenic pastureland and ponds beyond. A free-form swimming pool and attached stone hot tub offer a place to unwind at the end of the day. Nearby, a covered seating area with a rock fireplace extends outdoor enjoyment into cooler weather. A private saloon, equipped with a bar and a television, offers a distinctive spot for watching the game or spending an evening with friends.
Built in 2004, the separate barndominium served as the owners' residence during construction of the main home and now gives overnight visitors a comfortable place of their own. A 2,000 sqft workshop supports the practical side of ranch ownership, providing space for projects, tools, and equipment. An attached exterior cover shelters ranch machinery.
Well-maintained fencing and ATV roads make the acreage accessible and useful. Beyond that, gently rolling terrain offers pleasant elevation changes, with mature oaks providing most of the tree cover. Minimal underbrush and a mix of improved and native grasses create accessible acreage for recreation and grazing. Currently maintained under an agricultural exemption for grazing, the ranch also benefits from a water well supplying both the main residence and barndominium.
From mornings overlooking the pasture to evenings beside the outdoor fireplace, 4 Welch Ranch offers a comfortable rhythm of country living. Carefully maintained and thoughtfully improved, this property brings together a welcoming home, space for guests, and room to enjoy the surrounding land.
