Multigenerational ranch reflects nearly three decades of intentional stewardship, outdoor tradition and conservation in the scenic Clear Creek Valley

DALLAS, Aug. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hortenstine Ranch Company has listed Rolling R Ranch, a 1,303-acre North Texas ranch carefully assembled and maintained over nearly three decades by Tony Roosevelt and his family, offering a rare opportunity to become the next steward of one of the region's most distinctive recreational and working ranches.

Located approximately 75 minutes from the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, the ranch spans approximately 1,303 contiguous acres in the scenic Clear Creek Valley. Its rolling terrain includes dramatic elevation changes uncommon in North Texas, hardwood forests, native grasslands, mature pecan groves, extensive Clear Creek frontage and panoramic views that have been carefully preserved through decades of thoughtful land management.

For Tony Roosevelt, Rolling R Ranch represented the realization of a lifelong vision. His appreciation for ranching began during his youth at his family's original Rolling R Ranch in Colorado. Those experiences shaped his belief that land should be experienced, cared for and shared across generations. Rather than recreating the Colorado property, he spent decades thoughtfully assembling adjoining acreage in Cooke County and shaping a ranch uniquely suited to the North Texas landscape.

Over time, the property became far more than a ranch. It became a place where children and grandchildren learned to ride horses, camp beneath the stars, fish, explore Clear Creek and develop a lasting appreciation for the outdoors.

"What makes Rolling R Ranch truly special isn't simply its size or location," said Blake Hortenstine, broker at Hortenstine Ranch Company. "It's the intentional way it was created. Every trail, overlook and improvement reflects decades of thoughtful stewardship. Opportunities to acquire a property with this level of natural beauty, privacy and history are exceptionally rare."

That intentionality is evident throughout the ranch. Mr. Roosevelt delayed construction of the ranch's hilltop lodge until he secured neighboring property that protected its uninterrupted views. Scenic overlooks were carefully selected for sunrise, sunset and quiet reflection. More than seven miles of trails were developed to connect wooded ridges, creek corridors and open pasture, encouraging exploration rather than development. Wildlife habitat improvements, including owl boxes, bluebird houses and protected sanctuary areas near the homes, reflect the family's long-standing commitment to conservation. The family also worked closely with respected local ranching partners and conservation organizations to maintain healthy native grasslands, productive grazing operations and diverse wildlife habitat while preserving the property's natural character.

Beyond its remarkable landscape, Rolling R Ranch is surrounded by the rich history of the North Texas frontier. The property lies near the historic Chisholm Trail and Butterfield Overland Mail Route, corridors that helped shape the American West. It also overlooks the Clear Creek and Cove Hollow area associated with the legendary outlaw Sam Bass and contains remnants of historic pioneer trails that remain visible throughout portions of the ranch today.

While the ranch continues to support productive agricultural operations, it was intentionally designed as a place where families could experience the outdoors together. Generations have gathered to horseback ride, fish, hike, camp, hunt, explore Clear Creek and enjoy a landscape where wildlife and natural beauty remain central to daily life.
Today, deer, turkey, waterfowl, native birds and other wildlife thrive throughout the property's diverse ecosystems, supported by decades of careful stewardship and responsible land management.
