Less than two years after it first hit the market, Bosque Mountain Ranch, a polished Hill Country compound outside Clifton, is back up for grabs at $19.9 million after owner Randy Cooper briefly pulled the plug so his daughter could get married there. The spread covers more than 282 acres and offers nearly 15,000 square feet of living and entertaining space, from a lodge-style main house to a pool house packed with bunk rooms. With wide-open views and equestrian facilities, the ranch is being pitched as both a secluded family getaway and an event-ready destination.
Priced at $19.9 million for about 282± acres and roughly 14,650 square feet of livable space, the compound centers on a 6,900-square-foot main entertaining house and several guest-focused structures. According to Icon Global, the listing promotes panoramic vistas from an elevation near 1,000 feet and brands the ranch as an upscale private retreat with potential as a private event venue. The broker also calls out independent systems, including a private water well, underground electrical lines and backup generators, designed to keep the property running smoothly despite its remote setting.
Cooper, a vice chairman at Stream Realty, has said he gets the most enjoyment from watching others use the place. “You know it's a great feeling for me when I look at my guests and family and see how much fun they're having,” he told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Jack Cornell, one of the agents on the listing, told the paper that the sale was paused for a wedding and has now been relaunched. The Star-Telegram story also features broker-supplied images and additional comments from Cooper about the property’s privacy and long-range views.
Built for guests and events
The compound is set up like a private resort. A 4,200-square-foot pool house includes a game room, dance floor and full bar, plus two bunk rooms that together accommodate 16 full-sized bunk beds. Above the horse barn is a 3,550-square-foot second-floor living and entertaining space with a kitchen, bar and three bedrooms. Listing materials highlight reclaimed barn beams, limestone exteriors, a dedicated sports shack and an outdoor pavilion with a pizza oven and multiple grills, amenities that feature prominently in the marketing package, according to Icon Global.
Topography, wildlife and independent systems
Both Cooper and the listing play up privacy as a key selling point. The ranch sits along a county road with little passing traffic, incorporates roughly 80 acres of coastal pasture and climbs to nearly 1,000 feet in elevation, offering 20 to 30 mile views. The property is supported by a private water well, underground electrical lines and two backup generators, and the land is home to whitetail deer, quail, turkey, hogs, foxes and bobcats, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Those features help explain why the listing markets the ranch for recreation, equestrian use and hunting.
How the listing reached buyers
The property was first brought to market by Icon Global in late 2024 as a Hill Country retreat and potential event venue, industry coverage at the time noted. CoStar reported on the initial listing and outlined how the owner, a Dallas commercial broker, had been expanding the compound over roughly a decade. That early push helped put the ranch on the radar of buyers hunting for turnkey properties within reach of the Dallas–Fort Worth area.
For would-be buyers, public listing pages feature photos, video, contact details and mark the offering as an Icon Global exclusive, with multiple real estate portals echoing the broker’s description. More media, location information and property details for the Bosque County ranch can be found on sites such as Homes.com.
