Housing-
Terra Rosa Ranch features three established headquarters with well-appointed housing designed for both operational efficiency and entertaining.

The original lodge on the property spans over 1,800 square feet and is accompanied by a bunkhouse and hired-hand housing. A newer main lodge was strategically constructed atop a high mesa, offering commanding panoramic views across the ranch. Designed with an open-concept layout, the lodge is ideal for hosting large groups and features a gourmet kitchen complete with a Viking range, multiple Sub-Zero refrigerators, two dishwashers, custom knotty alder cabinetry, and an impressive 12-foot kitchen island.

The bar area includes an ice maker, wine refrigerator, and high-top seating for serving guests. Anchoring the living space is an eight-foot-wide stone hearth, built to impress and serve as a focal point of the lodge. The covered back porch mirrors the indoor fireplace with its own outdoor hearth and custom iron screen showcasing the Terra Rosa brand. Dawn and dusk are best enjoyed from the patio, taking in sweeping sunrise and sunset views across the ranch. Just off the porch stands a striking full-body copper elk statue positioned at the edge of the mesa.

Near the main lodge are three additional guest cabins, each furnished with two queen beds and a private bathroom with a full-size shower, sink, and closet. These cabins feature cathedral-style ceilings and central heating and air, providing comfortable accommodations for guests and hunters alike.

The Ranch:
The ranch is highly improved and efficiently laid out for large-scale cattle production and wildlife management. Approximately 94 miles of low fencing and extensive cross-fencing divide the ranch into 21 main pastures, allowing for effective grazing rotation and pasture control. Approximately 10,140 acres are enclosed by high fence, creating a premier game management area.

The ranch supports a robust cattle operation capable of running approximately 1,000 cows. There are 10 wheat fields totaling approximately ±416 acres, all located outside the high-fenced areas, which enhance forage availability and carrying capacity.

Wildlife infrastructure includes 12 food plots totaling approximately 115 acres, along with 30 corn feeders and 32 blinds strategically positioned throughout the ranch. Protein feeders are located both inside and outside of the high-fenced areas to support herd health.

At the original headquarters, improvements include livestock pens, a horse barn, storage buildings, and a multi-use barn serving both cattle and wildlife operations. A dedicated breeding facility, originally designed for selective elk breeding and now used for deer, includes multiple breeding pens and supporting infrastructure. The facility can be adapted for additional species if desired. Recreational improvements include a pigeon shoot, skeet trap, and a competitive rifle and pistol range.

Water:
Water is abundant and well distributed throughout Terra Rosa Ranch. The property is supported by 34 windmills, 13 solar wells, and 3 electric wells, many equipped with storage tanks and troughs. Additionally, there are 24 seasonal ponds and tanks providing supplemental surface water for livestock and wildlife.

Five named creeks—Richardson, Wills, Gyp, Little Gyp, and McCormick Creeks—traverse different portions of the ranch. These creeks flow during wet periods and contribute to ponds and drainage systems across the property.

Wildlife:
Terra Rosa Ranch is known for exceptional hunting and wildlife management opportunities. Native and managed species include whitetail deer, mule deer, elk, quail, pheasant, wild turkey, and other indigenous game common to the Eastern Texas Panhandle.

Approximately 10,140 acres of high-fenced acreage allow for controlled, high-quality wildlife management. A dedicated breeding facility includes a barn with an indoor breeding and working area, walk-in freezer, and multiple breeding pens. Originally constructed for elk, the facility is currently utilized for deer and can be adapted for other species.
