Indian Ridge Ranch...

Listen closely, look at the ground beneath your feet. The spirit, the storied footprints of the wild Comanche Nation still roam this ranch. Arrowhead Ridge, Sweetwater Creek, Warrior Lake, savage Copperas Creek anchor a wonderful carpet of mature native pecan trees, native and improved grasses and plenty of wildlife to supply the needs of their long-ago camps.

Indian Ridge Ranch - a spiritual place the Comanche called home. Come see the winding high ridge campsites above Warrior Lake, a lookout spot protecting the creek below. Hundreds  of arrowheads, spear points and tips of every description have been found here. Ride around with us on the ranch and you'll see why great Native nations chose this spot over several epochs of time.

Indian Ridge is a 481  acre +/- recreational Cross Timbers ranch

situated on TWO flowing live water creeks. Exciting topo, tall hardwood trees, winding

Creek-side valleys, pleasing native, improved and cultivated pastures, serious deer,

flocks of turkey, dove, quail and other wildlife stalk this land.

Indian Ridge...the perfect quiet storm of recreational, agricultural, family, story - a Texas ranch legacy awaiting its next chapter, written by you, located 35 miles southwest of Stephenville.
