Clear Lake Ranch
17309 N. Hwy 6 Valley Mills, TX 76689
Description
Welcome to Clear Lake Ranch, a rare offering in McLennan County where privacy, accessibility, and long-term potential align. Ideally located just 18+/- miles from Waco and less than a mile from Valley Mills, the ranch boasts over 3,000 feet of highly desirable frontage along Highway 6—an increasingly scarce and valuable asset in Central Texas. This exceptional property combines peaceful ranch living with convenient access to nearby amenities, making it a standout opportunity in the heart of the region.
Improvements:
The improvements across the property reflect careful planning, quality craftsmanship, and modern efficiency. Built in 2020, the thoughtfully designed main residence features three bedrooms and three and a half baths to include an attached garage apartment, combining refined finishes with the durability and efficiency expected of a premier Texas ranch estate. Interior highlights include concrete countertops, a custom granite kitchen island, foam-sealed construction for year-round efficiency, and striking mahogany exterior doors. For convenience and luxurious living, the main home features 3 kitchens and 3 living rooms. Modern conveniences such as Wi-Fi–enabled thermostats, timed exterior lighting, and a comprehensive security system provide comfort and peace of mind. A private office with its own fireplace and half bath overlooks the spring-fed pond, offering flexible space for business, guests, or ranch management. The attached four-car garage and dedicated exercise room add further functionality. Outdoors, a resort-style swimming pool with a custom waterfall creates a peaceful retreat. Designed for self-sufficiency, the ranch includes a 48-kilowatt Generac diesel generator with a 100-gallon tank, a 1,200-foot water well, and Starlink internet service. The fully renovated guest house, originally built in the 1950s and updated in 2023, features granite and wood countertops, surround sound, its own sprinkler system, and a reinforced safe room with 10-inch concrete walls.
Land:
The land is equally impressive, fully fenced and cross-fenced into three primary pastures plus a separate house pasture. In addition to the scenic spring-fed pond near the home, an approximately one-acre pond supports livestock and native wildlife. Rolling terrain with nearly 80 feet of elevation change provides sweeping views, enhanced by mature live oaks that shade the landscape. Ranch infrastructure includes a 60’ x 80’ main barn with a concrete slab, air lines, and water, as well as a smaller barn and an RV barn—each equipped with electricity. RV hookups are available at both the main barn and the main house garage. Multiple sprinkler systems service both residences, and a remotely controlled 360-degree camera tower allows for full-property monitoring.
Wildlife:
The wildlife on this property is exceptional. The lake is well stocked with bass and perch, offering excellent fishing opportunities. Whitetail deer are frequently seen roaming the land, offering great viewing and hunting potential, while hogs occasionally pass through, adding to the area’s diverse wildlife presence.
With its extensive highway frontage, established infrastructure, and close proximity to Waco, Clear Lake Ranch presents an exceptional blend of lifestyle, convenience, and long-term value. More than a home, this is a legacy-quality Texas ranch offering comfort, independence, and enduring opportunity in the heart of Central Texas.
