428 Mt. Zion Rd, Gordon, TX 76453 - Palo Pinto County

Upon accessing the gated entrance of Mount Zion Ranch, one will find a winding concrete drive leading to a magnificent homestead built with fascinating aspects to keep one's mind in wonder. The landscaping is a variety of imported trees and shrubs that create ample shade in the summer with a barrage of colors in the fall. The Austin Stone home comes complete with a well-designed kitchen, formal dining and family room with cathedral ceilings accented with a custom stained glass window. The pergola coupled with a rocked fireplace and patio sits on the side of a large hill providing views into the distance. Steps and lighted footpaths lead through the foliage and around the nearby spring-fed pond with fishing dock. The water in this landscaped pond keeps constant levels with beautiful colors; creating a mystical feeling. The "Headquarters" is just the start of Mount Zion Ranch. This ranch has good to excellent fencing and improved water all over the property. The centrally located 3+ acre pond attracts a multitude of water-loving wildlife including ducks, geese, crane, beaver and more. Bridges Branch of Little Sunday Creek creates towering oaks and elms carving through the grass pastures along the eastern portion of the ranch, while the west side contains dramatic elevation and dense post oak coverage. Mount Zion Ranch is the perfect blend of mature tree cover and grass to provide easily accessible recreational enjoyment coupled with productive acreage.
