Interstate 35 is one of the busiest sections of Texas, all the way up to Dallas-Fort Worth. Yet if someone were to look just west of the highway, toward the hills and creeks, they would find a slice of the Lone Star State that reminds us just how beautiful our home really is.

Cotton Willow Ranch is selling its 1,200-acre estate in Bosque County for $11.15 million through Republic Ranches. Located in Valley Mills, 25 minutes from Waco, the property is completely undeveloped, offering hills, creeks, grasslands and wildlife to create an immaculate home for anyone wanting to escape from city life, or even small town life.

“Situated in the highly desirable ‘Top of the Hill Country’ Bosque County landscape, vast elevation changes create sweeping vistas overlooking miles of gin clear creeks, multiple ponds, and seasonal springs,” the listing reads. “A mixture of awe inspiring old growth hardwoods and forests along with hundreds of acres of native prairie create a scenic blend across the landscape that provide habitat for wildlife along with grazing areas for livestock.”

The “genuinely rare” ranch is supported by strong rainfall that fills the creeks, springs and eight ponds and causes bluebonnets and paintbrushes to bloom in the springtime. Imagine owning a cabin on a hill to read your collection of books while watching the sunset over lush greenland.

There is plenty of space for someone wanting to invest in the cattle industry. Hunters can take advantage of deer stands to hunt deer, quail and hogs. Plus, if you ever feel that pull toward the city, you’d only be 90 minutes from Dallas or Austin.
