Ranch fever: Dude Perfect family, renowned chef put ranches on the market
A chef who was a semifinalist for a James Beard Award wants North Texas buyers to take a look at her Coleman County ranch.
The family of a Dude Perfect star has listed their ranch just west of Fort Worth.
A huge ranch near Mineral Wells has sold to an Oklahoma ranching family.
Here’s the latest on a few Texas ranch properties:
Dude Perfect co-founder’s family lists ranch
A ranch west of Fort Worth with ties to the co-founder of Frisco-based sports entertainment group Dude Perfect has hit the market.
The roughly 450-acre Canyon Lake Ranch (770 Sand Lane) in Santo belongs to the family of Dude Perfect’s Tyler Toney.
The asking price for the Palo Pinto County ranch is $8.49 million, and the listing is held by Josh Smith of Texas Land.
Jeff Toney, Tyler’s father, told The Dallas Morning News that the family purchased the ranch in 2015 when it was mostly raw, overgrown land. The family spent the last decade making improvements.
The property includes a hilltop luxury home, a guest house, a nine-hole putting and chipping green, as well as a 5-acre bass fishing lake equipped with a boat dock, bait shack and an outdoor pavilion.
The main home is more than 4,200 square feet. The seven-bedroom house has six full bathrooms and two half baths. It was built in 2016.
The listing advertises that the 805-square-foot guest house can sleep up to 14 people.

The property is a getaway and a place to unwind for the family, Toney said, a place to enjoy coffee while looking out over the lake before riding around the land.
The uniqueness of the landscape makes the property feel like three different ranches, he said.
Hunters can find whitetail deer, turkeys, feral pigs, mallards, wood ducks, gadwall, wigeon, teal, canvasback and other migratory bird species.
Those who fish aren’t left out either. The ranch has multiple ponds stocked with largemouth bass exceeding 5 lbs., catfish, perch and others.
Much of the Toney family lives in far north Dallas-Fort Worth, so they’ll be in the market for another ranch closer to their primary home.
Still, selling the ranch is bittersweet, Toney said. He hopes to create similar moments at their new property in the future.
“My oldest grandson got his first buck [at the ranch] last year, and my middle grandson got his first buck this year. Just the sheer excitement on their face is so much fun to watch,” he said. “My granddaughters went duck hunting with us last year, and they’re huge into fishing. … So many great memories have happened at this ranch.”
Rancho Loma hits the market for the first time
Chef and 2020 James Beard Award semifinalist Laurie Williamson and business partner Robert Williamson are listing their Rancho Loma property in Coleman County for the first time publicly.
The asking price for the property is just under $3.5 million, said listing agent Colton Harbert of Capitol Ranch Real Estate.
The duo bought the 1870s ranch (2969 County Road 422, Talpa) in 1998 and opened its small dining room in 2003. The ranch built a following. Its tables were booked with regulars from Abilene, San Angelo and Brownwood, along with repeat visitors from Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin and Houston.

It’s earned accolades from outlets like Texas Monthly and Southern Living.
The $3.5 million includes all 309 acres of the West Texas ranch, but doesn’t include the Rancho Loma name. Chef Williamson is available to “consult or guest chef” if the new buyers wish to continue the dining operations, Harbert said.
The property’s main house was built in 1878 and restored in 1999. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom home has a wraparound porch and floor-to-ceiling windows in the dining room.
The ranch also includes a 600-square-foot guest home, five cabins, four ponds and a shop that could be used for projects or storage.
The property is perfect for hunters, too, Harbert said. Bobwhite quail and whitetail deer can be found on the land.
“It’s one of the few ranches I’ve been on where I wouldn’t change a thing,” Harbert said.
Oklahoma ranch family buys Palo Pinto ranches
The K6+ ranch in Palo Pinto County changed hands late last year, and an Oklahoma ranching family is expanding its North Texas holdings.
The sales price for the roughly 870-acre property just north of Mineral Wells wasn’t disclosed. The ranch was previously listed for nearly $19.9 million.
The seller, real estate developer Chad Krippner, purchased the property in 2022. He spent the last few years adding equestrian facilities, a pickleball court and a 5,200-square-foot timber frame home to the property.
Amenities of note include a resort-style infinity pool, outdoor kitchen, living area, guest quarters, coastal hay production and 19 ponds, according to the listing.

The property was purchased by the Greeman family, who run an Oklahoma ranching operation. The sale was recorded in November, according to deed records.
This sale comes after the Greemans purchased a neighboring property, Firewater Ranch, earlier that year for an undisclosed price, The Real Deal reports. The asking price was $8.5 million.
The Greemans’ more than 1,500-acre Oklahoma ranch is now on the market. The property is roughly two hours north of Dallas.
