The Land

A name written
in painted wood.

Palo Pinto is Spanish for "painted stick" — a name given to these hills by early explorers who noticed the Ashe juniper trees shedding their bark each season to reveal vivid streaks of reddish hue beneath. That color is still here. So is the quiet.

Ranch C4 sits on 12 ag-exempt acres inside a private gated community on the flank of Big Bear Mountain — 706 feet of pond waterfront, cedar breaks, wildflower meadows, and a hiking trail that climbs to the summit. Four miles from Palo Pinto Mountains State Park, which just opened its gates to the public in 2026.

We're building three private camps here. Each one yours alone.

The Experience

Not a cabin.
Not a tent.
Something else.

Each camp is a private A-frame with a wrap deck, outdoor dining pergola, and fire pit — positioned at the water's edge with direct views across the pond to Big Bear Mountain.

Starlink at every camp. A kayak waiting at the shore. And a hiking trail from your door to the summit.

The Location

45 minutes from Fort Worth.
A world away.

Drive 45 minutes west on I-20 from Fort Worth — or 90 minutes from Dallas — and everything changes. The light. The silence. The sky.

45'
From Fort Worth via I-20
80 miles west puts you in a different Texas entirely — cedar-topped hills, clear skies, and no traffic after you exit.
4 mi
Palo Pinto Mountains State Park
Texas's newest state park opened in 2026 with 16 miles of trails, fishing on Tucker Lake, and some of the best dark sky in North Texas.

Acre Gated Community
Big Bear Mountain Ranch — private roads, a secured gate, no through traffic. Your privacy is built into the address.
Right Next Door

Palo Pinto Mountains
State Park

North Texas's first new state park in 25 years — 4,871 acres of former ranchland with 16 miles of hiking, biking, and equestrian trails. Fish Tucker Lake from the pier, or rent a kayak. Watch for golden-cheeked warblers in the spring cedars. Then come back to your fire.

PALO PINTO MOUNTAINS

"Palo Pinto — painted stick. Early explorers named these hills for the Ashe junipers that shed their bark each season, revealing the reddish wood beneath. The color is still here."
