477 Private Road 1601 Clifton, TX 76634

Listing details for 477 Private Road 1601, Clifton, TX 76634 : A Rare Lakefront Legacy on Lake Whitney Few properties on Lake Whitney offer the combination of history, elevation, and privacy found on this approximately 7-acre lakefront homesite on the Bosque County side of the lake. In continuous family ownership since the late 1870s, this land is the original site of the historic Owen Ranch Headquarters, now available for the first time in generations. Set on the headwaters of King Creek, the land commands elevated, unobstructed views across Lake Whitney’s western shoreline, making it an exceptional setting for a luxury lakefront estate, a vacation retreat, or a multi-generational family compound. A single owner could design a private waterfront residence, or a builder could envision high-end homesites sharing the same elevated views. The property overlooks a pristine, undeveloped 146-acre peninsula owned by the Owen family, insulating the view corridor from future development and preserving the shoreline’s unspoiled character — the kind of permanence that is among the hardest-to-find features in waterfront real estate. The newly developed Whitney Ridge Marina sits just minutes away, offering 200 covered boat slips with hydrohoist options, lease-to-own availability, slip rentals, dock box storage, a ship store, on-site fuel, three boat ramps, a fishing pier, and a food truck. Three additional boat ramps are within a five- to fifteen-minute drive, including King Creek boat house and Walling Bend Park. Site utilities include electricity and a shared water well system; a private septic system is required, and concessions have been granted for installing a private well and septic. Sellers will also provide a 12-month slip rental of the buyer’s choice at Whitney Ridge Marina. Whether the vision is a luxury lake house, a family compound, or a boutique development of lake-view homesites, this property offers a rare convergence of history, privacy, elevation, and lake access unmatched on Lake Whitney.
