Overview
Engler Lake Ranch is a beautiful 59± acre offering in Lipan, Texas, centered around a unique and highly scenic 7± acre lake. The lake's design sets it apart, a large, open main body of water splits into two long fingers that wrap around a peninsula, creating quiet coves and pockets that make for outstanding wildlife habitat and a truly picturesque setting. The property is mostly wooded, blanketed in mature hardwoods and native grasses, offering privacy, natural beauty, and excellent wildlife cover throughout. Engler Lake Ranch presents a rare opportunity to build a dream home in the country or create the perfect weekend getaway, all within an easy drive of the DFW area.
Wildlife and Land
The land at Engler Lake Ranch offers a raw, natural beauty, dominated by mature hardwoods, including live oak, post oak, Spanish red oak, pecan, cottonwood, sycamore, American elm, and willow, along with a variety of other native trees and grasses. The heavily wooded landscape, combined with the lake and its finger-like coves, creates an ideal habitat and cover for wildlife. The ranch supports a healthy population of whitetail deer, feral hogs, and turkey, with dove also present on the property. The lake also attracts a significant number of migrating ducks and geese.
Water
The 7± acre lake is the defining feature of Engler Lake Ranch. Its unique shape, a broad main body branching into two extended fingers around a central peninsula, creates a significantly larger amount of shoreline and cove habitat than a typical lake of this size, adding to both the recreational appeal and the wildlife value of the property.
Utilities and Access
Electricity is readily available at the road, and water wells in the immediate area have proven to be productive, making the ranch well-suited for a future home site.
Location
Engler Lake Ranch is conveniently located approximately 25 minutes from Granbury, 30 minutes from Stephenville, 1 hour from Fort Worth, and 3 hours from Austin, offering a private, secluded setting while remaining within easy reach of the DFW metroplex.
Broker Comment
Lakes like this don't come around often at this price point. The shape and layout of this one create a level of shoreline, cover, and habitat diversity you don't typically find on a property this size. Combined with the mature hardwoods and the ease of access to Fort Worth and Granbury, this is a special piece of land for someone looking to build or just get away.
