In addition to open meadows and grazing land spread over rolling hills, the property includes stocked fishing ponds, groves of 100-year-old oak trees, nature trails, multiple scenic home sites and a bottom land wildlife habitat. That habitat includes bass, crappie and bream in multiple stocked fishing ponds; migratory waterfowl including multiple species of duck and geese; dove, quail, hogs, coyote and whitetail deer.

“At a time when family-owned working ranches are on the decline across the state and are being replaced by planned residential communities, Wynne Ranch is an iconic, trophy property destined to be preserved,” Chris Burrow, who directs the land advisory group at Henry S. Miller Company, tells GlobeSt.com. “This is a property that represents a unique chapter in Texas history and one which is owned by a family which has made Texas history time and time again. Given the natural habitat, the hunting and fishing opportunities, and large meadows for horse and cattle grazing, the property is ideal as a family recreational ranch, a corporate retreat or perhaps as a combination recreational property with private hunting and fishing club. We all agree that such uses are completely compatible with a land preservation plan combined with an ongoing conservation effort to protect the unique wildlife habitat.”

Burrow and his partner, Dillon Cook, are determined to help the Wynne family preserve their property and are seeking a unique buyer.

“The ideal buyer is one who is committed to preserving the natural setting of the property and its spectacular wildlife habitat,” Cook tells GlobeSt.com. “A new buyer will have the option of placing the property into a conservation easement and preserving the property while also benefiting from tax credits resulting from forming such a conservancy.”

Wynne family members maintain the importance of preserving their family ranch.

“The land advisory team at Miller understands exactly what we're looking for,” says Toddie Lee Wynne IV. “And that's a compatible neighbor who will respect and care for this place as my family has for generations.”

As previously reported, an adaptive reuse effort is underway for the Horse and Mule Barns in Fort Worth's Stockyards, originally constructed in 1912.

DALLAS—The Wynnes are one of Texas' earliest pioneer families. The story of the Wynne Ranch is one of Texas history, ranching and historic preservation.

Toddie Lee Wynne Sr.'s great, great grandfather, William Nash, was one of the original settlers in Kaufman County. Under Nash's leadership, a militia fought with Sam Houston at the Battle of San Jacinto.

For his support and service in 1836, the newly formed state of Texas awarded Nash the land that consists of the Wynne Ranch and other family land holdings. For five generations of Nash's descendants, the ranch has played an integral part in the lives of Wynne family members.

For the first time since 1836, a portion of the Wynne Ranch is on the market. The portion of the property being marketed represents 1,040 acres of a ranch which totals more than 6,000 acres. The well-known Wynne family's Star Brand Ranch and corporate conference center, also located near Kaufman, are not a part of the property currently being marketed.

In addition to open meadows and grazing land spread over rolling hills, the property includes stocked fishing ponds, groves of 100-year-old oak trees, nature trails, multiple scenic home sites and a bottom land wildlife habitat. That habitat includes bass, crappie and bream in multiple stocked fishing ponds; migratory waterfowl including multiple species of duck and geese; dove, quail, hogs, coyote and whitetail deer.
