When you come to Brazos Bluffs Ranch, with the natural beauty of its high bluffs and wooded valleys on the east bank of the Brazos River, it will feel more like a secluded state park than the private, working ranch that it is, only ten miles northwest of Baylor University in Waco, Texas.
The only guest lodging on the ranch, a stone and log vacation house built in 2011 near our private pond, with 2 master suites and a large sleeping loft, is fully furnished with most of the modern amenities of home. Enjoy the beautiful surroundings, and peace and quiet of our sheep and cattle ranch. You can hike up wooded trails to the rim of the 120’ vertical cliff rising above the Brazos River to catch a spectacular sunset. At dusk or dawn you might see wild turkeys, whitetail deer or other wild animals.
Take a horseback ride along the Brazos River and up to the bluff overlooking the surrounding countryside, continuing along miles of scenic trails.
Our screened-in river pavilion and 1,830 sq. ft. deck and patio overlooking the Brazos River provide an ideal location for business or family retreats, reunions and receptions. We offer a volleyball net, horseshoe pits and a ping pong table along with an outdoor BBQ pit and an indoor kitchen.
Canoe between the farms and woods along the Brazos River, exploring public islands or fishing for largemouth bass. We provide canoes, kayaks, paddles and life jackets!
Brazos Bluffs Ranch is conveniently located near I35 half-way between Austin and Dallas-Ft.Worth, 3 hours from Houston and San Antonio, next to the popular farm of Brazos de Dios. You can tour its numerous historic structures, including its working gristmill built in 1760, and the shops of its award winning craftsmen: pottery, woodworking, blacksmith, spinning and weaving. Its craft campus, general store and restaurant featuring all natural beef and locally grown grains and vegetables are open Monday through Saturday until 6:00 p.m. You may want to sign up for one of their many craft or homesteading workshops, e.g. cheese making or woodworking.
