A Property Built for Hunting, Fishing, and Family

Water defines the landscape of Canyon Lake Ranch, with 4,200 feet of Buck Creek frontage, seven additional ponds, and three water wells supporting both recreation and wildlife.

Decade-long wildlife management efforts have produced strong populations of whitetail deer, turkey, and waterfowl, alongside largemouth bass exceeding five pounds.

Beyond hunting and fishing, the ranch includes productive hay fields, food plots, year-round protein feeders, and an extensive internal road system that provides access across varied terrain, from hilltops with long-range views to creek-bottom hardwoods and canyon-like rock formations.

Inside The Main House

At the center of the ranch sits a 4,225-square-foot main home built in 2016, positioned on a hilltop with sweeping views over a five-acre bass lake.

Great Room

Stepping through the main house’s iron-framed double doors, you’re immediately greeted by a sweeping open-concept great room.

The space unfolds in one continuous line of sight, from the kitchen island in the foreground to the dining area and into the living room, all framed by warm wood floors and exposed timber trusses overhead.

Mounted trophy displays and ranch-inspired details reinforce the property’s outdoor roots without overwhelming the space, creating a balance between refined comfort and rugged character.

Kitchen

The kitchen sits in the left corner of the great room with a large central island topped with a dark stone counter and lined with barstools, a built-in sink, and plenty of room for guests to linger while meals come together.

Custom wood cabinetry stretches to the ceiling, paired with granite counters and a neutral tile backsplash that keeps the space warm and cohesive.

A stone accent wall frames the walk-in pantry, while stainless steel appliances and a vent hood add a practical edge suited for feeding a full house.

Dining Area

Just off the kitchen, the dining area features a long, solid wood table surrounded by a mix of white ladder-back and natural wood chairs.

The table sits on a large, patterned rug near a corner of windows, framing views of the surrounding landscape and keeping the room bright throughout the day.

Living Area

Across from the dining area, the living space centers around a floor-to-ceiling stone wall with a mounted television set into the masonry.

The textured stone adds weight to the room, while mounted game and rustic wood accents above reinforce the ranch’s outdoors-driven design.

A collection of oversized leather sofas and armchairs wraps around a large ottoman, creating a comfortable seating arrangement built for conversation or game-day gatherings.

Guest House

Not too far away, an 805-square-foot guest house accommodates up to 14 visitors, making the property well-suited for extended family stays or group retreats.

Up on the second floor, the design leans fully into its lodge-inspired setting, with warm wood walls, pitched plank ceilings, and durable flooring built to handle boots after a day outdoors.

The space features two identical sides of custom bunkbeds, with two beds below and three bunks above, each accessed by built-in wooden ladders and framed by solid timber posts.

Additional Outdoor Amenities

Beyond the main house and guest quarters, the ranch includes a lineup of amenities designed for recreation, entertaining, and long weekends outdoors.

Putting & Chipping Green

Just off the house, a private putting and chipping green offers a dedicated space to work on your short game while taking in sweeping Hill Country views at sunset.

Outdoor Pavilion

Next to the green is an open-air pavilion featuring a full outdoor kitchen, a long dining table, and a fireplace.

At the back of the pavilion, the wood-burning fireplace creates a warm focal point, framed by stacks of firewood ready for use.

Under-The-Stars Firepit

Positioned closer to the water’s edge, a circular stone firepit is set up for sunset views across the lake, creating a natural spot for winding down after long days outdoors and before transitioning to the pavilion for dinner.

Five-Acre Bass Lake

The expansive, fully stocked bass lake includes dedicated dock access and shoreline pavilions, offering everything needed for a day of fishing and relaxed afternoons near the water.

Extending from the shore, a covered dual-slip dock provides convenient access for small watercraft and fishing gear, reinforcing the ranch’s setup for easy, everyday lake use.

Final Thoughts

For the Toney family, Canyon Lake Ranch has served as a private retreat for nearly a decade, hosting hunting seasons, holidays, and intentional time offline while Tyler simultaneously built Dude Perfect into the global brand it is today.

Now, as his parents prepare to offload the estate, its 448 acres, luxury hilltop home, private bass lake, guest accommodations, and fully built-out recreation amenities make it an exciting listing for the area.

For its new owner, the property offers the rare opportunity to own a fully developed North Texas retreat where family traditions are built and where you can step away from the noise of everyday life.
