RUNNING 6 RANCH a 189-Acre East Texas Legacy Ranch

189 acres located in the transition zone between East Texas and the Post Oak Savannah, this property combines a stunning log home, abundant water, mature hardwood timber, productive pastures, and a complete equestrian operation into one remarkable offering. The ranch is approximately 60% mature timber and 40% pasture, a nice balance of open grazing land and heavily wooded creek bottoms. Running Creek, a major feeder to famous Lake Fork, and Dry Creek traverse the property. Add a 5-acre stocked fishing lake and three additional ponds, and water becomes one of the defining features.

THE CUSTOM LOG HOME

Sam Satterwhite personally attended the planning of this Log Home masterpiece; the home is the anchor of the ranch. This 2,922-square-foot Satterwhite Log home is the picture of rustic elegance. It features exceptional exposed beam work, a master craftsman bar and a dramatic 18-foot custom stone fireplace. The kitchen features Viking and Kitchen Aid appliances with ventilation, granite counters and custom cabinetry with glass front doors. The split beam staircase leads to a room that can be used as an office or lounge. The Master bedroom opens to the extensive decking surrounding the home and provides access to the sauna. The Master bathroom is oversized and features a Charlotte 57 inch cast iron Slipper Clawfoot soaker tub, an inviting end to a day of trail riding. Guest suites are very accommodating and a 4th bedroom can set up for bunking the grand kids. The upstairs also houses a built-in safe to house guns and valuables. The home's elevated position overlooking the 5-acre stocked lake creates a peaceful setting for quiet mornings, evening sunsets, entertaining guests, or simply enjoying the privacy of your own ranch. Covered parking is conveniently located adjacent to the home.

EQUESTRIAN FACILITIES READY TO GO

A 4,800-square-foot insulated equestrian center provides an impressive setup for horse owners, it features seven stalls, a tack room and a wash bay. The facility also includes a 442-square-foot, one-bedroom, one-bath living quarters that can accommodate up to six people with a primary suite, loft, and fold-out sleeper in the main living space. The apartment is finished with textured walls, custom cabinetry, tile countertops, electric appliances, a water heater and washer and dryer. It is well suited for a ranch foreman, guests, or additional accommodations during large family gatherings. Outside, the equestrian improvements continue with pipe fencing, multiple paddocks, horse stock, an arena, and loafing sheds. Established Tifton and Bermuda grass pastures provide quality grazing and hay production, while miles of open pasture and deep woods trails offer excellent opportunities to spend the day riding throughout the ranch.

WATER

The ranch is served by a 440-foot water well accessing the Carrizo-Wilcox Aquifer and offers a combination of surface water resources throughout the property. Approximately 5,400 feet of named creek frontage includes roughly 3,400 feet of Dry Creek and 2,000 feet of Running Creek, a major feeder to Lake Fork. In addition to the two creeks, the ranch features a 5-acre stocked fishing lake, a 1-acre pond near the equestrian center, a 1/2 -acre pond in the northeast pasture, and a 0.8-acre pond near the front-gate pasture. With water found throughout the ranch, the property is well suited for fishing, wildlife, livestock and recreation.

RANCH IMPROVEMENTS

The property has been thoughtfully developed with functionality in mind and includes substantial improvements to support both ranch operations and recreational use. A hay barn with capacity for approximately 175 large round bales provides ample hay storage, while the workshop offers dedicated space for projects, tools, equipment, and general ranch storage. A separate 1,350-square-foot RV and boat storage facility provides generous covered storage along with a large locking storage room. The ranch also features two fenced gardens and a chicken coop located near the equestrian center adding to the property's versatility and self-sustainig lifestyle.

THE LAND AND TERRAIN

The ranch is defined by rolling East Texas terrain with approximately 50 feet of elevation change creating a landscape of elevated pastures, wooded creek bottoms, and mature hardwood-covered hills. Open rolling pastures transition into stands of Post Oak, Water Oak, Willow Oak, Pine, and Sweet Gum. Sandy loam and alluvial bottomland loam soils support productive grasses and mature timber. Adding functionality and safety to the property is a massive custom-built bridge that provides dependable all-weather access through the ranch becoming a distinctive feature of the landscape itself. The combination of rolling hills, mature trees, open pastures, creek bottoms, water, and thoughtfully designed improvements makes the ranch a true East Texas legacy property.
