Rare Lake Whitney Homesite in Bosque County, Texas
An exceptional opportunity awaits with this rare offering—a panoramic lakefront homesite on the Bosque County side of Lake Whitney. Spanning approximately 7 acres, this historic property has been in continuous family ownership since the late 1870s and is the original Owen Ranch Headquarters site. Set on the headwaters of King Creek, the land offers elevated, unobstructed views of Lake Whitney’s western shoreline.
This is an ideal setting to build your dream lakefront home, vacation getaway, or legacy estate. With its size and natural features, the property also presents potential for a custom home builder or developer to design a private retreat or subdivide for multiple lake-view homesites.
Adding to its uniqueness, the land overlooks a pristine, undeveloped 146-acre peninsula in the Owen family. This ensures your views stay protected from future development, preserving the natural beauty and peaceful surroundings for years.
The newly developed Whitney Ridge Marina is just a few miles from the property—a premier facility offering 200 covered boat slips with hydrohoist options and lease-to-own availability. The marina features nightly and yearly slip rentals, dock box storage, a fully stocked ship store, on-site fuel, three boat ramps, a fishing pier, and daily and annual boat ramp passes. A food truck rounds out the marina’s offerings, making it an ideal launch point for lake days and weekend adventures.
Whether you're a buyer looking to create a personal sanctuary or a builder seeking a one-of-a-kind development opportunity, this rare lake lot property offers history, privacy, and stunning views in a desirable location.
The property is equipped with site utilities, including electricity and a shared water well system, but it requires a private septic system. Concessions are granted for the installation of private wells and septic systems.
