DESCRIPTION
Oak Branch Creek is a scenic 70.32-acre tract in Ellis County and one of the last remaining pieces of the historic MD Ranch—an iconic landholding that helped shape the rural character just outside Waxahachie. With deep roots in local ranching history, this property presents a rare opportunity to own a legacy piece of land in a highly desirable area.
Located only four miles west of Waxahachie and eight miles south of Midlothian, the ranch offers the perfect blend of privacy and convenience. Despite its seclusion, it remains close to town amenities, making it an ideal escape without sacrificing accessibility.
The landscape rolls gently with a mix of open pastures and mature hardwoods, ideal for livestock, recreation, or building a private estate. One of the standout features is 0.61 miles of Oak Branch Creek—one of the stronger creeks in the region—winding north to south through the property. This natural waterway enhances the setting while providing a rich habitat for local wildlife. Additionally, a spring-fed pond, approximately one acre in size, sits quietly in the back pasture—perfect for fishing or relaxing by the water.
Two manufactured homes are already on the property, each offering three bedrooms and two bathrooms. These residences are well-suited for weekend stays, guest accommodations, or as temporary housing while constructing a custom home. The ranch supports a healthy population of whitetail deer, turkey, and dove, making it well-suited for hunting or recreational use. With both the creek and pond on-site, the land attracts abundant wildlife throughout the year.
Though it feels far removed, Oak Branch Creek Ranch is just minutes from the historic charm of downtown Waxahachie and the growing community of Midlothian. It offers the best of both worlds—small-town character paired with everyday convenience. Whether you're looking to build a forever home, establish a family ranch, or invest in a legacy property, Oak Branch Creek Ranch delivers a rare combination of history, water, and land in one of North Texas’ most sought-after regions.
