THE HISTORIC KLONDIKE RANCH – This historic landmark ranch is located south of Cleburne, Texas in Johnson County. Consisting of 1045 acres once inhabited by Native Americans and rich with Texas history, it has some of the most incredible vistas in the State. Also known as Klondike Mountain with its breathtaking limestone cliffs, the ranch overlooks the Brazos River valley with approximately 1.8 miles of Brazos River frontage and views into four counties. Once owned by a nephew of General Sam Houston, there are rumors of a hidden treasure of gold left by the Spaniards. Notwithstanding the many published stories, the ranch offers excellent hunting, fishing, boating, 4-wheeling and endless opportunities on the Brazos. Spend hours searching for arrowheads and exploring a hidden cave. The ranch owners were awarded the Lone Star Stewardship Award presented by Texas Parks and Wildlife for their continuing efforts regarding habitat and wildlife enhancement. Currently, there is a Level III Managed Lands Deer Program in place through TPW providing for an increased hunting season and harvest. The owner’s home is a classic stone home constructed around 1935 (approximately 5,000SF) with 22-inch thick walls and 4 bedrooms and 4 baths. It was restored in 1991 by Frank Welch.
