There’s also a guest suite in one of the barns” according to an article on Real Deal real estate website.

In June, a 2,200-acre ranch near San Antonio, priced at $54.5 million, sold for an undisclosed amount; the listing agent said it was the second-biggest deal he ever closed.”
A little closer to Cass County, two properties roughly two hours west of Dallas, hit the market at $10 million and $15 million.”
According to the article, “the sellers acquired the property through multiple acquisitions dating back 10 or 12 years, and they performed a complete overhaul of the main house roughly six years ago.
The site is also set up for additional dwellings, as there are other home sites already connected to utilities.”
Monning told the Journal-Sun that he believes Iron Lake Ranch is one the best live-water recreational compounds in the southern region if not the United States.
